FC Everton v VFL Wolfsburg

[FTY]

Looked I bit rubbish in the friendly pre season (Porto) ?

Stones made a mistake in preseason too mate.

I'm not that big of a Howard fan, though I thought he was great last year, but I was there against Fulham in the league cup last year when they pushed up 10 yards to try to stop us playing out from the back. Robles completely lost his head and invited pressure by [Poor language removed] up short passes to Distin. It let them back into the game after we'd been comfortable at 1-0 up.

There's just no need to risk something like that happening tonight. This is a really big game for us. If we crash out of Europe early a lot of the momentum from last season will dissipate and we could struggle to kick on.

Yes and Robles was hanging the washing out.

de germans took 7 points out of 9 against Arsenal Chelsea and Man City this week, now is not the time to rest players

No drinking aloud. I'll watch it in the pub then.

 

[Woolly Blue]

Any idea on the amount of tickets sold? I'd imagine a few will get there's tonight but just wondering if it's improved...

*waves wet finger in the air

Maybe 31 or 32,000 ?
Not sure how many de Germans are bringing but I'd guess we'll be looking at 33 to 34,000 total by kick off

Still think the club have missed a trick here and are being a tad greedy. If they'd reduced the price a bit they'd have likely sold out all the unrestricted views already and ( assuming Wolfsburg are only taking the lower tier ) could have filled part of the upper Bullens above the away fans too.

What has Robles done wrong really? Yeah he's looked dodgy but he's not made a fatal mistake that I can think off.

Unnecessarily punching the ball and costing us 3 points springs to mind.
What has he done so well that you think he should force Howard out after he helped get us into Europe?

He's done an awful lot right though.

When was this?

Force Howard out..what?

You play your second keeper in the cup games, unless they're a total liability.

Joel has done nothing to suggest he's a total liability.

Way over the top fuming at joel by some of our fans. Howards been sketchy this season, if it was robles people would have there picth forks out and rope ready to lynch him.

Personally think robles is the type of keeper that needs 5 or 6 games in a row to get up to speed and to settle down and get his confidence up. The way our fans get on him from the first minute is sly, you can see his head drops a bit

Why? This is Europe, does Howard not deserve to get European games?

Keep putting words in my mouth.
