Match Thread Everton v WBA, KO 15:00 Sat 20/1/18

[tommytowne]

On route to Goodison. Up the toffees.

Setting off now with wife this time. She's generally a lucky omen so thinking 2-0.
Hoping for a good game and a clear M62.

We’ll take the 3 points today, and we’ll all be enjoying chips AND rice tonight.

 

[PhilM]

I just pray for a shot on target

Being at home and with some new players in the squad, I'm expect a few more opportunities today; we won't be peppering them though!

If we sit back against WBA at home and resume normal service with these new players, I’m going to find it incredibly difficult to watch us for the rest of the season.

Hi All,

Long time reader. Ill be at the game tomorrow for my first ever match at goodison park. Been a fan for over 20 years and I hope to god we win. Especially after the way we played against spurs.

On a side note, whats a recommended pre match routine to get the blood pumped for the game?

Out at 12 to Rigbys on Dale Street, 6 pints of German wheat beer then cab to the game at 2.55pm

 

[TrixyStevens]

Fell out the girlfriend?

Hopefully, Allardyce will play an attacking team and lay siege to WBA's goal and notch up a shots on target record. Surely, he has to go for it and not play a cagey, let's way and see approach. 3-1 to the blues.

Today could be the day when Fat Sam tears up his tactical manual and goes on the attack.

Loooooooool

Heard Walcott found it and put it in a black back for the binmen.

 

[Muggins]

We need to win today or I fear we’ll be sucked back into the relegation scrap.

This is a big game for Sam Allardyce.

 

[messymascot]

If Garbutt is registered I would play him at left back and switch Cuco to right back and give Kenny a rest. If Garbutt does ok I would then being Kenny back in for the Leicester game.

My team would be.
Pickford
Martina/Kenny Holgate Williams Garbutt/Martina
Gueye McCarthy
Walcott Sigurdsson Bolasie
Tosun

This would give Sigurdsson the chance to play his favoured role and with quick wingers either side he should get some extra space to operate in. Have Rooney on the bench and bring him on after 60 minutes when there should be a little more time on the ball for him.

Working today, win you buggers.
