Kip of that team Jesus.
Win here would be amazing.

Looking forward to this, confidence is high, we’re in good form, they’ve got a couple of decent players missing.

4-0 Villa

After seeing our team this made me laugh

COYB let's have this

 

[navidson]

Pickford
Coleman
Delph
Gbamin
Richarlison

What's up with them?

 

[Mashtray]

this is nonsense, half baked team

 

[AmericasToffee]

That bench has just given me a stroke.

The good or bad kind?

 

[RomanReigns]

be interesting to see what benitez says about coleman, pickford and richarlison in his pre-match interview

injuries? covid?

 

[sageyefc]

Squads so weak, marcel needs to give his January holiday a miss this year and go to work

 

[BlueStevie35]

Another three random mystery injuries, love this club.

Pickford apparently injured his shoulder during the Burnley game

 

[dixiesdisciple]

Hope James didn’t bring it back from Ibiza.. that would make him even more popular with Benitez ?

 

[Tony101]

Iwobi masterclass coming up. Stepping up with a brace because Richy an Dom are out.

 

[DanEFC92]

Gbamin missing too. Obviously.

Sore tooth again?

 

[BlueToff]

Yes but the chances of a widespread outbreak among a group of fully vaxxed people is pretty low. Are they doing close contacts? I just kind of doubt four or five vaxxed players would all have breakthrough positives at the same time.

Dunno mate, not really. They're doing that much testing and as we know fully vaxed you're only like 60% protected against infection.

It's a weird one though. Personally think Everton should make it mandatory for all players to be on the safe side, but we genuinely just don't know their status.

Yeah they are doing the close contact thing, but God knows how they come up with it.

It's either COVID, which is uncontrollable, or we've managed to injure four key players in the space of a day, and Benitez is still too arrogant to put James on the bench.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and go with COVID for now

Richarlison got kicked around too much last week. Coleman is approaching Methuselah age. Yet Marcel thought the squad is fine for 38+ matches. Unreal
