Starting 11 for 1st Premiership game of season?

[bluestevon]

That or Galloway plays I suppose (Or we could even stick Barry at CB if we were desperate)

Basically, our options are either an unfit Jags with a hammy liable to explode at any moment, a younger lad from the youth set up or a more experienced player played out of position

Not an ideal situation to be in when you're playing one of the title contenders on the first day of the season

Everton That

Is Kenny back mate, if he is then honestly be tempted to start him and Davies in this, at least they will be massively up for it and get the crowd right behind them

 

[BlueToff]

We're going to get bummed aren't we.

baring in mind Spurs ended last season awfully, and a lot their players had poor Euros (England, Belgium etc) and long summers of playing, no.

Also, we somehow under RM managed not to get beat when we were playing much worse.

Let's wait and see.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Relegated by the 37th minute.

That's optimistic.

Holgate's better than either - pretty sure he'll play RB if Coleman is out and we go with a four man defence.

Sket

Holgate Jags Mori Baines

Gueye Barry

Lennon Barkley Kev

Disagree mate rather see Kenny a natural right back play there than Holgate, and of the two fo them he is the one who ahs actually played a league game there at this level as well, Holgate atm looked great in pre season but has never played at this level mate

Can't fully judge how he will handle it just from a handful of pre season games mate and putting him as better than either of those is unfair IMO

 

[Brendan Janus]

Stek
Holgate Jags Mori
Davis Baines (wingbacks)
Gueye
Gibson Barry
Barkley
Geri

Maybe drop Barkley back in place of either Barry or Gibson and play Mirallas behind Geri.

Christ it gets worse lol

We still have the tools to beat Spurs, they are a good side but by no means unbeatable.

Goodison should be rocking.

Yes we have 11 tools no doubt about that, and a few more on the board no doubt about that either!
Has the club ever disclosed the millions in compensation for our Manager, the backroom staff, and Walsh?
How many Millions spent more than on players so far that's for sure!!
Selling Stones, started a transfer stampede looks like a desperate one to me only Williams of any class before our first game, and he's not available ah well it can only get better Spurs usually do well at Goodison over the last two seasons any rate!

I don't think Kenny has had much involvement with the team under RK mate so doubt it. Holgate played at RB twice in pre-season - also Kenny literally played 60 mins vs an already relegated Norwich...

Holgate will be the one I think if Coleman is out...

We'll see. Hopefully the Irish Cafu is fit

they are going to do a @Bungle on us and go in very, very dry.

 

[John Osters Love Child]

maybe we should just declare now based on most peoples negativity.

Kenny was away with England mate, so after that he got his 'holiday' late so didn't feature

No I know that, but still the statement applies.

Can't see RK just chucking him in when Holgate has played there as well (admittedly not in the Prem) and has had a full pre-season.

 

[VaguelyBrown]

Spurs are going to absolutely hump us.

Did anyone see them spanking Inter 6-1 the other day in one of their friendly tournaments?

We're going to get battered all over the place, we've not got a squad that can cope with teams like that at the mo
