Brazil vs Belgium

I’ve not seen his original comment, is it out there?

He said Pickford was a Mackem midget.

Martinez is a supreme tactician. He used Lukaku wide right, as he did for Everton against Arsenal a few years ago. Give him players who can understand and play the way he wants and he will be successful. Lukaku will revert to a central position against France,and will score. Martinez problem at Everton was that the players either didn't understand the tactics, or couldn't be arsed listening to him. Martinez will get top jobs in football as long as he wants them.

Correct Steve.

Correct.

I think you articulate the sentiments of 99% of Evertonians here Steve. Bobby would have taken us to the top of the tree were he not undermined by the likes of back-stabbing Baines and Capt Jags. Unfortunately, the Iranian carpetbagger sided with the Brutus camp and thus we find ourselves in the mess the club is presently in. Most on here would give their right arm to get Bobby back...but I fear that boat has sailed.

Neymar no doubt rolling about on the floor in the centre aisle.

Bit OTT that...they ran into the best manager in world football and got given a masterclass in tactics...no shame in losing to a Bobby M coached team

Bobby did not practice set pieces. I will not entertain any manager that can’t see how important they are to achieve anything. I understand having a philosophy is one thing, conceding from corners undermines everything. Look at england “success” now... built on a set plays.

I thought the main problem with Bob is that the players became fat.

Funnily enough I cant stand the Belgian team...the characters like De Bruyne and Hazard and Vertonghen...even Lukaku is a divvy. Obvioulsy it'd be good to see a former Everton manager lift the WC, but I cant see it. France are THE class team in the tournament and will beat everyone left in it.

Belgium can easily match France player for player. I see this one being 50/50.

I agree...the difference between the two teams will be the superiority in tactical generalship that Belgium possess with Bobby M; a man Everton swapped as manager for Fatty Koeman and Gravy Sam.
Back stabbing Baines and the Iranian carpetbagger have a LOT to answer for...

I've got my money on Belgium & BTTS. There should be goals in it.

I can get behind this, as Deschamps is a complete bum.
