Match Thread Everton v Tottenham Hotspur.- FA Cup 5th Rd.- Wednesday - 8.15pm

He's definitely still injured. They'd be stupid to play him, but if they do, I'd get Gomes and Davies both to stand on his ankle in the first 5 minutes. It's worth a couple of yellow cards.

I said something like that in a previous post, but Gomes go and break Son's leg, worth a red.

Well beat TS and just a couple of games off Wembley. Has Carlo ever won the FGA Cup?

With Chelsea IIRC

What about King?

Cup tied maybe.

Think having Allan back could be the difference.

Imagine a fit again Allan, doucoure and the in form gomes, could be majestic that.

Defence needs to step it up though been sloppy recently and kane and that little fart son are class

Don't think he'll play. No point rushing him back.

8th is fine anyway, last thing we need is to be stuck in the Europa league of nonsense and having to keep or give contract extensions to the deadest of deadwood to cover the extra games.

Not to mention Covid travel restrictions and such, both home and away

Jumping the gun as per here!!!,but do you reckon the final may have even a restricted crowd this year?

Wouldn't let rush him back like but if he's fit and training and available I'd deffo start him, we as a club need a cup and we'll have more of a chance if Allan plays

More courage for 90mins pls

I think the wide players will need to do a bang up job on Spurs defensively. Honestly, I haven’t a clue what King’s work rate is like but if he can be trusted to stay with his man then he can slot in either side of DCL.

Sorry Mate just been told cup-tied.

Ah yeah, of course. Didn’t even cross my mind. I’ll pretend I knew, though, and that’s why I left him out.

There's no predicting this.

Both teams are perfectly capable of putting in either ok performances or complete horror shows and the venue doesn't really mean much.

Sides much more evenly matched than I thought at the start of the season, which is credit to Ancelotti and quite the opposite for Mourinho, who has woefully underperformed so far, given the quality of player he has inherited.

Both teams got satisfactory results last time out so I'm not really expecting "reaction" performances from either.

Maybe Kane's not 100% which could help us? Absolutely no clue what to expect from this. None whatsoever.

Big game for both sides, but arguably a bit bigger for Spurs, who could do with a pick-me-up as I doubt beating WBA did much to improve the mood there.

Don't poo our kecks and i think we can do it.

I'd love Jose to think he can't play Kane in all three games this week after his recent knock (they play City on Saturday), but I can't set him not starting here in such an important game. I reckon he'll give him an hour.
