Match Thread Ruzomberok vs Everton, Thursday 3rd August, 7.45pm

[Connor]

Can't wait to once again, watch the glorious Europa League on tele.

I think it will be very close, they had some great chances in the first game. I think they will get more chances at home, and will definitely put at least one away. I can see us packing the midfield to keep the ball, Barry will definitely play. We spent half the home game passing sidewards and back, i just hope its not the same again.

I'd like to see Davies and Lookman play with Sandro they would add that ability to break.O
I don't think it will be easy but if we score we can go through.It strikes me as such an Everton fixture and a potential banana skin, just hope the weeks training and the fact that they will have to push on a bit will help us. At GP they packed the midfield and didn't once open up.

Once he's back up to fitness and lost the baby weight I hope he improves drastically, I'm not overly confident of that though and wouldn't mind a new CB partner for Keane.

i would have been fine if mori didn't get crocked again and would have been content if it waited until next summer. Now, we may as well go and splash £25m on someone who will be a starter. Jags and williams will be replaced within the next year or two anyway, so may as well bring that purchase forward a year.

Is he actually that unfit? I thought someone pointed out from the images that it was just a vest or something? He wasn't great last season, but he's 32 and didn't have a break at all, went deep into an international tourney and then straight into the next season. Think he'll be much better this season.

...up the Toffees.

That's Mute sorted then.

 

[Abraders]

Please don't mess this up Everton.

Gutted I'll be in work too.

 

[TheBlueGibbon]

That's Mute sorted then.

Bizarrely, he was the better of the two last week.

Always good to have that second keeper up front so that they can come back and defend corners. 0-0 and see us through to the next round, job's a good un.

He looked off the pace in the first game, although the same could be said for a few of them to be fair. I thought he was a good purchase before the start of last season, I still don't think he's been completely terrible but I'd rather he was a backup than a regular starter.

But we don't have Alcaraz any more

Now that's a name I haven't heard or thought about in a while
The dread when his name was in a lineup

We get Super Kev and his super 70s suit again.

 

[a bell maul]

Big Ron's affection for Tubby Ashley concerns me a bit. He looks well underdone at present. But big Ron will probably have Cuco at RB which will give us a bit of pace at least.
I'm thinking a 1-1 result?

 

[Albro]

Would love to see us go 1-0 up at half time then come out with a 5-4-1 formation

No, but we do have Cuco Martina
