Can I just get this off my chest.... I cannot abide the little weasel Trossard. He has one of those faces you just want to smash and has a habit of playing well against us. hat trick incoming.

There that feels better...

It's because he's French

 

[witchdoc187]

One of those isn't it. We are capable of winning, late kick off helps. Dunno who is injured. Could also lose 0/4.

Errrr......he's a Belg

Got to go in hard from the off and make them aware they are in a football game. Bully them. Annoy them. Irritate the hell out of Arteta (sorry but has to be done!)

Should be a cracker.

This is one of them where I wouldn't be surprised by whatever happens.
There is a chance that they could batter us . . . but I would be no more surprised if we batter them.
My instinctive feeling is that we've got this.
2-0 for the Toffees

Yep, him and Maupay annoying ex Brighton turds!

Loved it when he scored a hat-trick against them

You can bet your collection of vintage Danka kits that Moyes is gonna prefer Mcneil to start over Dibling and that we will be setting up to shore up and defend.

Cue a long evening of frustrating out balls to Beto (who i give a decent chance of starting on account of experience) that he will trip over and let Rice recycle into constant, tiresome pressure.

In other words: We will destroy them. 5-0 Everton, Keane to score a hattrick

Don't know why I laughed reading this- it'll feel less funny on Saturday! A defensive set-up feels as likely as it does limited. Esp since Newcastle and even Spurs out muscled us at home, pretty easily.

Arteta often did the biz for us from a dead ball. Givin' em corners, free kicks and time to ping it in is just 'damage limitation', inviting trouble. Arsenal broke down Bayern from a corner initially, too.

We need to try Dibling up there with Jack, Barry or Beto, Charly behind.

Garner/ KDH can sit but one looking to make breaks. No reason to not nick one against them when they're trying to press. And yeah, great time for Keane to nick one!

I worry about our full backs a bit against their pace. Gonna be a long night there...

Can see another Newcastle happening with their set pieces.

[BigBeto1]

Going to be gut wrenching going from Ndiaye to McNeil

 

[witchdoc187]

Belgian. But close.

What an idiot I am

 

[witchdoc187]

Errrr......he's a Belg

Drunken bellend I was
