Match Thread Fleetwood Town v Everton, Wednesday 23rd September, 7.45pm

[Armaghtoffee]

Something has changed in this club and I like it. You have broken my heart many times Everton and I have always taken you back but this time I am actually starting to trust you.

3 out of 3 to start the season and genuine optimism that we finally have the manager and team to take it to the Sky darlings.

First things first though, Fleetwood Town managed by Joey Barton, or if you prefer, the self proclaimed greatest living Evertonian. I honestly thought I couldn’t dislike a player more and then he went and signed for Rangers.

With an attack spearheaded by that Ched Evans, a victory here for the good guys will be very satisfying indeed. Fleetwood are a possession based team who take every opportunity to release Wes Burns to run like the clappers down the right. Big Niels has this though. Ageing Irish war horse Glenn Whelan will kick lumps out of our midfield and Paddy Madden can be dangerous up top, particularly in the air. I’m sure Callum Connolly has already told Don Carlo all of this anyway.

The Lads:

Pickford
Kenny Keane Gibson Nkounkou

Walcott Gylfi Doucoure Gordon

Bernard

Kean

Gibson will be at Reading by then.
Tomori will start!

Play one of Doucoure or Allan and one of DCL or Richarlison

The echo says Delph will play this one !

Possibly allan alright. But davis will be given nod.

Hopefully just to remind other teams about him to get him sold.

Nice connection with Everton, have Fleetwood.

Steinsson came from there. Wallace, Barton, Connolly and Gibson. A nicely run, local club.

I think seeing Doucouré come off so early, means he'll be in from the start on this one.

Pickford

Kenny Keane Mina NKounkou
Iwobi Sigurdsson Doucoure Gomes Bernard
Kean

Is my prediction.

They'll be a much bigger challenge, but we're Premier League and they're League One, surely enough gulf, even away from home.

I expect that with Doucoure + Allan on into the midfield.

 

[Tromos]

I'd be happier with the snap if it was Greeny's (R.I.P) Fleetwood Mac

and not Clinton's Fleetwood Kak! >>> ;0))))))

Expect not to different a team to last weeks cup, but maybe the odd few changes, currently watching Fleetwood away to peterborough at the minute, which is 0-0 just after HT lol, i expect us to win but make it hard work
