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

[Osamabindiesel]

We tend to do well on opening day so I’m optimistic. Just wish our record against Spurs wasn’t so godawful as of late

 

[riddick]

Is there any chance Rodriguez plays? He hasn't been training with Real, no?

Is there any chance Rodriguez plays? He hasn't been training with Real, no?

there is a chance but its unlikely

his last game was against sociedad on 21st June 2020, his first league start since October 2019

he lasted 78 minutes and didn't really do much

i think he will be on the bench and may be brought on late in the second half for a few minutes to get used to the pace of the game.

No time like the present to start changing it.

Grab an away win against one of the better sides like Spurs and that'll be a big confidence boost.

If we can get ourselves 3-0 up by the hour mark then we can bring Rodriguez on to grab another 6 goals for us.

I’d have more optimism if Atkinson wasn’t the official. Jose will have them hacking Richy and James down all over the place, just like last time, and they’ll receive no protection at all.

Tbh I don't have faith in a single official in this league, all of them are useless.

 

[david meredith]

Is the Don's presser today or tomoz?

Just waiting for the " In Don Carlo we trust" cringe line , guessing not long now, stomach churning please don't .

Yeah true. Atkinson holds a special place in my heart though. Really think he hates us. Also I’m never going to get over the Rodwell red card.

Wishing we played tomorrow! Hopefully allan and doucoure start and james comes on 2nd half

My new personal pick for biggest plum in a black kit is that cretin who sent Ancelotti off. They're all chancers trying to make a name for themselves in a profession that if you are good at your job then you shouldn't be noticed.

God I hate referees.

Might be a bit of a bonus not playing until Sunday, gives them an additional 24 hours to get themselves as ready as they can be

Hope at least Allan and the Duke start, so at least we can be competitive from the off, with Hamez off the bench to add some stardust once we've won the battle. They need to do "nice guy" sonny and that little cheating, filthbag Lo celso early doors as well.

The awful ref will prob send Allan off if he glares at one of em, while allowing the Yids cloggers to get away with physical assualt.

My only issue with Don Carlo at the min is it seems he rates ghosty, and we've allowed him to keep the 10 shirt, which means we may see more than I'd like of him, even off the bench - I'll take our gaffers opinion of him over mine tho, even tho I detest the crab, hopefully Carlo can get a tune out of him this season (by God gylfi owes us a good few seasons worth of performances) , as I can see him starting tomorrow.

Anyway, even though it still isn't real footy with this bloody virus keeping the fans out, I'm the most excited I've been for the season to start since I was a nipper - amazing what the prospect of a new midfield can do isn't it!

Arriba Los caramelos!

 

[argietoffee]

Compare T-rex bouncing around laughing as the goals squirm in and Lloris trying to decapitate the Parasite for not tracking back. I still think Jose has more to play with.

 

[ilikecheese]

I just hope the new signings fit right in. My concern is that they look like a bunch of strangers on the pitch. Limited time together, and actual preseason matches amplifies my worries.

 

[arbok]

I think we’ll beat Tottenham. Already have Mourinho talking about needing a striker and if they lose it fits his narrative perfectly.

 

[FTY]

Always hated spurs cus I feel like they did everything we should have been in the decade just gone.

That documentary has made me half want them to do well though I’ll be honest. Wouldn’t mind em finishing 2nd behind us
