West Brom v Everton. 20 Aug at 1500.

[Ring master]

based on 1st hour last week,no one can complain really,but did expect maybe one of Lukaku,williams or bolasie to maybe start myslef

£25m to sit on the bench. Well in Koeman you massive fat baby.

Thought the starting line up last week was a joke, I got put in my place with how we played for an hour, got options on the bench now for when legs start to tire too. Happy enough with the same side starting today as they played Spurs off the park in the first half last week.

 

[flibbyflob]

Their back line is 4 CBs. Incredible.

Walter Smith revisited.

Last 5 games away at West Brom = WLDWW.

I dont expect another loss to this lot.

Fair point, but the squad hasn't won away since the 1st of March and have conceded 12 (twelve) goals in the last 5 away league games. Things take time.

 

[Azza]

COYB!

 

[Troubador]

Good decision, I think, going with last week's starting XI.

They played well for an hour last week, against better opposition, and should have enough to see off WBA. But, we've got a very very strong bench with match winners aots if we need to alter things in the second half.

I'm going for a 2-0 Everton win today. COYB

I really rate Rondón.

He tore F Mori a new one in the Copa America iirc.

Hopefully he is more worried about getting food parcels to family and friends in Venezuela than playing against us.

Winning on the road has not been a problem for this team in the recent past. They travel well.

 

[Toffeelover]

Wished Bolasie was being picked.

 

[davek]

I cant see the point in not picking Bolasie. He's just played this lot last week so that should be to his advantage.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

If we told Chelski they could have Rom for 70m they'd buy him.

Bench worth more like 130m.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Important to get the first win on the board as early as possible. Needs to be today.

Disagree mate, we won, on average just shy of 1 in 4 last season away from home. That stat is out of sync with your memories of last season and your expectation of this.

Get ahead early make them come out a bit and bum them everywhere on the counter, see how those big grock cbs playing fullback like being dragged into the channels when Rom and bolasie come on second half.
