Match Thread Everton 2-4 Brentford. Sun Jan 4th. 3pm

I figure it's wind that'll be the problem.

Always a problem at my age, especially on a high-fibre diet.

This is the 3rd of 4games i thought we may have a great chance to 10/12 points from. It was/has been made harder with all the injuries we have had/got. We got the 4points from 1st 2 games i thought we would get, but oppo way around. Half expecting a 1-0 Everton win

So ½-0 then?

 

[Street end man]

….he was very poor in the U21 game I watched.

Have to trust the people who work with these players every day, looks like they want to send him on loan. It’ll certainly help if they think he’s ready.

I heard that too mate.
For a reported fee of 8m and coming up to 20 years of age it's still baffling how a journeyman midfielder could be handed the left back berth though.
A real botch of a signing if true.
Teams of our ilk are not in the market at present to be blowing millions on "ones for the future"

So ½-0 then?

If the Ref and VAR have their way then probably yes

 

[GoldenToffee]

Mykolenko out apparently. No way he throws Aznou in, it’ll be McNeil if it’s true.

That lad McNeil truly has the midas touch doesn't he — always somehow ends to nicking a spot in the team. He's only about 3 positions off of having played in every outfield position for us.

As long as we still get 3 points

That is exactly what they said we will do -buy for the future whenever possible .

 

[Street end man]

Agree, but if Keane is back, it will be JOB back to RB and Patterson as LB

Quite possible mate. My confidence if i was aznou in that scenario would just evaporate.

 

[vini]

Thinking this will be a very difficult game for us, exacerbated by Mykolenko not being available if true. Not a clue what team/formation it's going to be but they will definitely test us. Having said that, two nil with Barry getting both.

I thought he was also cover for Myko though.

King and Travers on the bench and he’d still get the nod for an outing between the sticks.

 

[Clarky cat]

COYB!

 

[Moomin]

If Patterson does play left back it will show how good a defender Myko actually is.

 

[orchard]

If Keane is fit, we could go with 3CB (Tarks Keane JOB) and Patterson and McNeil as WBs. Both of those are better higher up and it keeps Garner central?

That'd be crazy when we have Aznou available to play there instead. I can understand a reluctance to play LB currently, but not LWB and three CD's mate.

Patto did a decent job there against Arsenal last season.
