No matter what form each team is on you can’t predict what’s going to happen in those 90 minutes.

You can pretty confidently predict Everton don’t win 9 times out of 10 over the last 20 years.

 

[Shadey]

Wirtz dropped

 

[Dreambeliever]

Absolutely the right call, I said as much earlier in the week.

Starting Wirtz in this game was asking for a disaster both short and long term.

Hopefully Kerkezs speed will be useful.

I’d start him v Southampton hopefully grabbing a goal or 2 to give him confidence.

 

[Frogfish]

Wirtz & Isak will both come on after 55-65 mins when the 'aggro' has gone out of the game. Both to score !

Yep

 

[rurikbird]

Surprised with Kerkez starting. He’ll be a short leash, no doubt.

 

[Squiggles]

I can only watch the first 30 minutes so I'm hoping for some early goals. Managed to get a ticket to the Southampton game, so kinda hoping Wirtz and Ngumoha and Isak start that one.

 

[Judge Jules]

Surprised with Kerkez starting. He’ll be a short leash, no doubt.

Robbo did well in the last game but I suspect Ndiaye's pace had something to do with today's selection.

Those two have the potential to become an absolutely deadly combo.

 

[Modo]

Poor the Chiesa

 

[Frogfish]

Robbo did well in the last game but I suspect Ndiaye's pace had something to do with today's selection.

Yeah as I said earlier - I don't fancy Robbo vs. Ndiaye so it's worth starting Kerkez just for that.

Yes and no. I've no problem with Kerkez picking up a Yellow and then being replaced. The main issue is Robbo's pace and tackling vs. N'diaye.

I don't know much about him so checked out his speed and that PL manager stuff gives :
84 for Pace, 83 for Acceleration, and 85 for Sprint Speed.

That looks damn good, too good for an aging Robbo on his 2nd game in 4 days. I'd start Kerkez.

 

[Frogfish]

Those two have the potential to become an absolutely deadly combo.

I think so too !

 

[Shadey]

Those two have the potential to become an absolutely deadly combo.

There were glimpses of that in the Madrid game.

Exactly. Torres got a wonderful hat trick against Reading in the league cup in his early days.

Isak for the last 20 tops if that.

Great to have a $115m star and a $130m star to spring off the bench. I feel like a City fan

 

[Dreambeliever]

Surprised with Kerkez starting. He’ll be a short leash, no doubt.

I think his tackling was strong vs Arsenal and Robbo playing 3 games in 8 days is asking for trouble.

 

[Shay_K]

You're not considered benched unless

Remember this is Slots team, wheather you start on the bench or on the park, as long as you get on....

 

[peterhague]

I wonder if Wirtz being dropped has anything to do with him being absolutely funking shit?

 

[dee]

I’ve signed up to Tod Tv 4k without realising it was Keys/Gray - Christ they are annoying

 

[dee]

Florian getting minutes managed, szobo more used to the pace says Arne

 

[WheresMeTea]

Hope the ref is up to the job which I doubt.

 

[MomoWASright]

Minutes managed? He’s not completed a game.

 

[dee]

Pissing down so they’ll be dodgy sliding tackles all over

 

[WheresMeTea]

Our two new superstars are on the bench for a reason.

 

[dee]

Yepp that’s what he talked to

Hard to tell as he hasn’t been
