Match Thread Everton v Norwich City - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[DanEFC92]

Shame we have a tumble dryer upfront

 

[TheBigIguana]

Massive space in our midfield...... Iwobi how does he get selected?

Iwobi has been involved in the buildup to the limited stuff we've had come off

 

[cronullasharks]

I have a pug that sounds like he’s going to cough his little pathetic lungs out after walking 50 metres that would be a more effective front man,

I thought Tosun was an atrocious striker, which he is but this guy is somehow worse. Get the pug on at halftime Benitez ffs.

Massive space in our midfield...... Iwobi how does he get selected?

because when the manager asks 'who wants to play today?', Crab puts up 10 arms

Rafael can't win with some. I mean we are missing both strikers and Coleman and have a lot of players not fully fit and we have for the most part played well and comfortably. And then they say its only Norwich.

What do you expect, peak barca style play and a 8 nil win. Get some perspective. Go joint top If we win this

They know Benitez is really really boss and are expecting the world. Thier faith is commendable. I wish to get to that level of believe in Ben one day.

 

[Parker]

And that's why we have VAR.

So scabs like this referee can't rob us of clear penalties.

Not a pretty match, but we are without a host of starters, and at this point a win is all that matters. Keep in mind that defensively we havent given up much, if we can nick a second I think we should cruise easily.

Also, sometimes with these teams is because they know they cant match the ability, they try and run into the ground in the first half and over-compensate, which looks nice until the second half rolls around. Then, they are too tried to keep it up, and if they didnt pick up the lead they were over-compensating for, they are in a bad way and end up giving up a few more. Leeds runs into that fairly often and they are more talented/better managed.

Just asked what fans thought of the first half on Facebook and Twitter.

Some right crying ba..... people out there.

They expect rykaards barca to turn up at goodison. A wins a win. I don't care how we get there.

It would be nice to watch us play like barca but 3 points is the most important thing.

 

[tnc85]

3 points is all that matters today. Simple

 

[deipnosophist]

Round-one makes Hank look like a class striker

 

[davek]

We're possibly going to end up top of the league here with half of our team missing.

 

[Death]

And my axe!

 

[Drumblue]

Holgate has a bit more arrogance in his chew

Because our squad is wank how many times man - have you seen the bench?

Richarlison and DCL is our entire arsenal without both we have nothing going forward in terms of a goal threat.

As I said earlier we're relegation material.?

 

[ForeverBlue92]

This is 8 of our starting 11 healthy. We should be able to play decent stuff against Norwich.

We have dominated the ball but have nothing up top thats the problem which we all knew.

Today is get the 3 points by hook or by crook and defend defend defend against Utd next weekend and hope both are fit after the international break.

 

[the golden visionary]

Why are there so many disappointed sounding people in the match day thread?

Coz rafas not losing so they can't demand his sacking
