Lookman ?

Him and Sandro are quick but can't see him playing Lookman from the start.

Agree

 

[Toffee-nerd]

These are the games we are going to miss having an out and out striker on the pitch. Hopefully we can still get the job done, our front players have performed well so far but we will just miss a physical presence up top for this one I reckon. Can see Rooney becoming frustrated and dropping deeper and deeper for the ball.

Blue moon reckons are continued decent results against them is because it is our "cup final" like we wouldn't bottle it every time if it actually was

Greetings from Manchester,hope you are all well prior to your "cup final"....hold on just joking, had a quick look at the stats regarding this fixture and it's 68 wins each with 46 draws, pretty tight eh? Think it will be tight again come Monday with the Blues shading it. First time Isaw Everton was in 57, we won 6-2!,great game, Dunlop in goal for you but I always remember Derick Temple on the left wing, great player. If your coming to the game by car be aware that parking in the areas around the ground has been further restricted, you will have to park at least a mile away. All the best.

Thanks for the well wishes mate. I'm an American blue so it'll be the tv for me. I'd be surprised if we win Monday but Id rather we went at you and got smashed than trying to defend all game and losing by a goal

I refer to the the last 28 matches between us. As you will remember, unlike the new generation of City fans.
14 wins for us
9 wins for City
5 draws.
We will always be that bit better.

COYB's, Pep will still remember this drubbing, one of the most perfect everton results ever for me with davies scoring an outstanding solo goal and lookman coming on and making it a dream.

Get into these scrotes and show them the back of our hand.

 

[CrustySack]

Rooney to grab the headlines - nailed on.

 

[KevMirallas]

I'm fully expecting to get rinsed here, but you never know.

1-0 with a late Keane winner from a Gylfi free kick.

Would like to see the team for this that played Hajduk Split on Thursday; with the exception of Holgate for Martina (bit more defensive-minded) and Calvert-Lewin up top for Klaassen with Rooney just behind him.

No doubt they'll boss the possession but we've got Gueye and Schneids to hunt them down, then we can counter with Mirallas and Lookman's pace. 2-1 to the proper Blues.

Klaassen did well last game I'd definitely keep him in the mix. This probably isn't a game I would personally start DCL in, get Sandro up top instead of Mirallas.

There seems to be a gap in the fixture for some seasons, why was that?
