Tim and Alcaraz both have hamstrings from high workloads so I doubt will be rushed back.

Home game against a bottom half team, the only question is, draw or defeat?

KDH also mate.

We manage our players very poorly in terms of risk of injury.

We brought Branthwaite back too soon and without a proper pre season in the summer also.

It’s not acknowledged enough.

TBF we’d have been lost without him.

Yeah, I'm not overly keen on our fitness/medical setup tbh. A good example being DCL, we couldn't keep him fit no matter what yet he has gone somewhere else, been assessed and whatever program they have him on it's clearly working. We failed which suggests certain people behind the scenes are not of the required standard imo.

I think draw, 1-1, Aaronsson for them and Barry for us.

Revenge game for us. I’m feeling 2-0 Everton win.

It’s a good example mate. James McCarthy stands out for me as another former player, his career was ruined by injuries and both we and Ireland played him when we shouldn’t.

We handed Branthwaite a 100k + week contract in the summer, rushed him back with a stop start preseason for a friendly against Roma, subseqentky got broke up. We’ve played 22 PL games and knocked out of two cups and he hasn’t kicked a ball in a competitive game for us this season. Thats mismanagement IMO, no need to rush him back.

We are somewhat reckless IMO, unnecessarily so at times.

Big game after the Villa result, we can strike touching distance to european positions again with a win

 

[lieneverton]

Pretty confident we won't win given our repeated inability to back up a good away win when we have an easier home game coming up. Hopefully be proved decisively wrong.

Regardless this won't be easy at all given Leeds' form recently and they will fancy their chances, rightly so given some of our horror shows at home.

 

[bullybeef]

Can’t wait for this one.
IF DCL plays I reckon the Evertonians will be well up for it.

Hope we can send both him and Leeds packing with their tails firmly between their legs!

 

[Gilbert..]

Question is how much do i put on the calvert lewin goal. Enough for a holiday?
NAP of the day.

Is Branthwaite back for this? Doubt he'll be ready to start till after next round of fa cup games
