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

[hallamblue]

Tight game, we need the first goal.

 

[Bullens Rd]

Come on lads do these. Some big names already out, more to follow and hopefully we're not one of them.

Keep Kane at bay and we beat them. Can we get the Duke to do a man-marking job on him maybe?

Kane likes to drop deeper so that's right in Dukey's territory.

He picked up a tight calf mate.

Wouldnt risk him 3 big league games coming up thick and fast.

I've said it before but the cup is a distraction this season.

Focus on the league wont have a better chance of top 4/6.

The league is the distraction, all this recent rotation is to suss out or best team.
Carlos biggest test is Wednesday, fail and it's another season of complete small club nothingness.

A 51-0 stuffing sends The Magnificos through to the next round

It’s going to be defence vs defence on this one.

Spurs definitely have the better attacking players so midfield could be a key battleground for us.

Whilst I obviously hope we win and progress to the next round, part of me wants the first priority in this fixture to be for several of our lads to clatter that horrible little gimp Son. Him and his crocodile tears never got any punishment for his disgusting foul on Gomes... I'd be ok with Besic getting a start and being tasked to exact some retribution.

 

[Zatara]

Virginia
Holgate Mina Godfrey Nkounkou
Davies Gomes
Sigurdsson
Iwobi Richarlison Bernard
​

Keep Doucoure, James, Digne and DCL on the bench and fresh for Fulham.

Poppycock

You think Kane will play? Cant see Mourinho risking his best players

I think he'd love to win silverware with them. Both teams should put their strongest side out. I'll be gutted if we don't go for this.

Mourinho is the kind of guy who values a trophy to kick start success for his teams, I think he will field a strong side.

No can do Zat-man, not against these

Jose is a top manager, at a big club, of course he goes full strength, it's what separates big clubs from small clubs.

Im not going to watch it. 415am for me and will save myself for the league games (or the semi if we get there)...hoping Ancelotti does the same with the key players.

Mourinho is the kind of guy who values a trophy to kick start success for his teams, I think he will field a strong side.

This is true, he loves to show his trophies and medals. Once he wins one his next target is going to be top 4 though.

Every club and manager wants top 4 or the title.

No can do Zat-man, not against these

Id throw besic in there to take out Son or Kane in the final mins (if either plays)...the league is more important.

Jose is a top manager, at a big club, of course he goes full strength, it's what separates big clubs from small clubs.

Q: We have 2 games in hand and are 6pts ahead of which club?

A: Last years FA Cup winners.

If they could swap that cup for a top 4 position i bet they would.
