Everton 1 - 0 Palace

Tosun

The last 3 league games (Arsenal, Fulham, Leicester) had the exact same 18.

Pickford Stek Zouma Keane Digne Kenny Baines Holgate Gana Davies Siggy Morgan Richarlison Walcott Bernard Lookman DCL Tosun 

With news of Mina, Gomes, Jags, McCarthy and Beni in full training suddenly we have 'too many' players. In the short term it's probably easy to drop holgate for mina and morgan for gomes but i'm curious how Silva handles the numbers. When Coleman comes back who makes the bench kenny or baines? DCL and Lookman must be worried. Does Jags appear again? SO MUCH TO SPECULATE OVER...

Leicester 1 - 2 Everton

I think if you ignore the Liverpool figures we'd compare favourably against any other side outside that group (not going to do the numbers).

Completely agree. We shouldn't settle for that. We can't frankly, to get to where we want to be. It all starts here.

It's abysmal.

Last time we beat each team in the league:

• Utd - April 26 2015
• City - January 15 2017
• Chelsea - September 12 2015
• Arsenal - December 13 2016
• Spurs - December 9 2012
• Shite - October 17 2010

Last time we beat a top 6 team away: December 4 2013

Record in our last 7 seasons (42 games) against top 6 away: 1 - 14 - 27

Arsenal 0 - 1 Everton

Always try to be glass half full here but can't do it this time. This is exactly the type of game that sets us up for complete disappointment at the final whistle. Hope I'm wrong...

the other 2 bench players will be one of galloway, foulds, markelo, browning at cb cover and one of bowler or charsley at cm cover 

 

I'd be really upset if Lookman just walks into this team - regardless of injury situation.

Where in the world is Beni...is he injured?

Instead of seeing browning/galloway/academy player I'm guessing Digne and Kenny on bench with Baines/Seamus to cover at CB if need be.

IN: Richarlison, Digne, Bernard, Mina
OUT: Joel, C Grant, Funes Mori, Rooney, Klaassen

YOUTH: J Virginia

Can't believe Galloway and Browning are still around. 

This season has started off well so don't want to get too far ahead but looking to next May the following appear to be out of contract: Baines, Jags, Williams 

Also thank goodness for the Huddersfield and the international break. Gana, Jags, Bernard, Gomes and Mina all out this weekend apparently.

Interesting thread here as the definition of squad depth vs. kids seems to be in question. One vote but this year at least I'd rather start squad depth over kids. To me kids are u23s/u18s making debuts with no football league experience. Davies/beni/kenny/galloway/browning/pennington/charsley aren't kids. Also no way I'd play Lookman at this point.

Wasn't too far off. Siggy for Beni and Sandro for Bernard.

Can someone explain why Sandro is starting when he is being loaned out tmw? Surely someone else could benefit from the 90 mins on offer.

Still in question: Bolasie (likely headed to Villa), Lookman, Sandro, Niasse, Galloway, Browning, Pennington

For 22.5 mil I would absolutely sell him. The financial gain is well worth the risk. For the hundred or so teenagers who show flashes of brilliance in the PL maybe 10 truly come good. I'll take those odds for 22.5 mil. Especially considering his attitude appears to be total shit. 

Couldn't we throw a buy back clause in there like Barca have consistently done to us?

Will hold final judgement until the end of the season but surely yesterday was one of the better days for EFC in the past decade.

Likely headed for foreign loan: Bolasie, Vlasic, Martina, Besic

Mystery: Sandro, Niasse, Lookman, Galloway, Browning, Pennington

 IT'S THE HOPE THAT KILLS YOU.
