Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Papa Shango]

Does James really not start? I'd think regardless of when he signed, he's ready to go

All our new players can play. It's not as if we have had a massive pre season programme or anything so they are not trying to catch up fitness wise etc.

Memories.

I think James is ready to go - itd be whether Ancelotti thinks James is better served watching the game from the sidelines to get a feel of it first. It's a long season and there's no rush.

Hope we batter them and Son gets a niggly injury that keeps him out all season, don't wish harm on the lad so just a niggle that won't heal will be fine haha

 

[GwladysBlue]

I think James will come off the bench, tbh. It's going to be a weird game for everyone because no team has had a proper pre-season and won't want to risk early injuries.

Doucoure and Allan should be certain starters.

Is Gomes fit do we know?

presser today

We all have different opinions so fair enough .

P.S. Perhaps another reason why Son "Aggressively tripped him" was because he was still pi55ed off that the ref didn't give a clear penalty a little earlier?

mate that does feel like you’re justifying a serious injury to an Everton player on an Everton forum . Come on hey

 

[Seathestars]

Good feeling about this.
I think the boys will be buzzing with the quality signings we’ve made.
1-3 Everton

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Do we have to go back to playing football? This transfer stuff is so much more exciting!

The football season starting always tends to derail Everton.

Everton beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 in this League Division One match played at White Hart Lane, London on the 3rd April 1985.

Have to get at least a point here, and have to play with intent.
The new era starts now, the excuses are valid but we can't continue to play like we expect nothing.

Being competitive for 90 minutes is the minimum requirement.

 

[kiss the crest]

Cant wait for this, always very excited at the start of the season very optimistic and then after 90 minutes back to reality

It's quite a litmus test for me. Spurs are not the team they were 2 years ago. Its brilliant the business we have done, but we will only really take the first and next step when we start rocking up to places akin to Spurs like a side that believes they can win. The last time I really saw us do that was for a spell under Joe Royle.

Is the Don's presser today or tomoz?
