[ForeverBlue92]

You know the squad is dire when you are hoping Walcott is fit.

Our right hand side should be target no1 for improvement in the off-season.

SARR!
SARR!
SARR!

The French fraud is out injured, if he leaves Iwobi out that will be three of them out who never got involved last week v Arsenal, so with three extra players tomorrow we should do a lot better.

No Icelandic fraud and we will do this

Icelandic fraud? Have I logged on to Toffeeweb by mistake, or whipping boy forum as it should be called, All our players either on form or not ,are stii OUR players.

Just been watching half hour of Utd vs Everton goals on Sky to get me in the mood.

Wish Fellaini was playing today, he scored and set up some pearlers for us against that lot when he was here, beat them 3 seasons on the bounce at Goodison when he was here.

Shout out to Oviedo arriving late at the back post to seal victory as well, beautiful Bri, beautiful memories.

Forget Liverpool but we can beat Chelsea who are not all that good. 1 point tomorrow and 3 against Chelsea will do.

No we need to beat both if we are serious about Europe. Arsenal are starting to pick up as well so we need to be getting something out of and winning most of our games. But winning against teams around us is most important.

Same again today as last season please...

Walcott has been very effective when he's played this season. Tell you what...try to watch games objectively, without an agenda...the 'knocking Walcott' scenario is last years news.

I don't think he is terrible, in fact he is a decent player off the bench but not a starting quality winger. He lacks finish, poor decision making in the final third but he can put in a decent ball and has pace.

The point of my comment was that if he is the best we've got, we need something better to compete at the top end of the table. Same can be said for the likes of Schneiderlin, handy off the bench and fills a role but shouldn't be starting.

He was awful for the first part of the season. However this could be said for quite a few players.

The past since Ferguson/Carlo took over. I thought he had really stepped up a bit and was becoming alot more useful, more direct. Perhaps a bit more confident. Definately was becoming more effective.

He gets in positions that he just needs to shoot early and I think he has a hesitation in him that asks the question "is there a pass?".. I dont mind any player taking a pop at goal, he just needs to do it quicker.

But yes, definately been much improved the past chunk of games.

Can somebody explain what most teams do the night before games? I know longer distance they will often travel the night before and stay in a hotel, I dont think teams normally do it for home games do they? Thought Liverpool vis-a-vis Manchester based games would be treated as home games in the prep the night before, or did they travel because of the early kickoff?

Man U have stayed in a hotel.

Everton used to stay in a hotel for home matches too but Ancelotti stopped that.
