Everton v Wolves comms thread.

[Jack Russell]

Starting with happy birthday wishes to Ruben Neves and Scallywolf. I hope that you both have a very special and enjoyable day!

To make that enjoyable day happen, I think that we need to do the same as against Watford and go for the jugular right from the off. A relatively early goal must knock their confidence and give us the momentum to carry on to victory.

So COYW get at them and bring back those 3 points!

[Jack Russell]

Understandable line-up, if not ideal.

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

Urgh

 

[Matt]

Uh oh, where is Neto?

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Marcal is the one name on the team sheet that makes my heart drop a bit. I'd also play Podence in any match ever, but I appreciate that it takes a lot out of wingers to play two games in quick succession.

Neto?

 

[NottsWolves]

Where’s Neto?

 

[Chris H]

Clearly they don’t think Ait Nouri has the fitness levels to play 2 games in 3 days.

Which is firstly disappointing because he’s brilliant but secondly because you’d think at his age he would be fit enough to play 90 mins after 90 mins.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Ok, Lage knows more than me in every way, but what the **** is he doing there?

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Hopefully proven wrong - but an absolute shambles that is

We CANNOT PLAY on the front foot attacking 3 4 3 without Ait nouri. How many times do we have to try it!

Even worse, we are playing 3 5 2 and the waste of space hwang is playing.

Neto not even on the bench?

 

[Supadavewolf]

Asking a lot of Mouts and Jonny.

Here's hoping Jonny comes through safely.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Clearly they don’t think Ait Nouri has the fitness levels to play 2 games in 4 days.

Which is firstly disappointing because he’s brilliant but secondly because you’d think at his age he would be fit enough to play 90 mins after 90 mins.

Yes. He's got all the talent in the world but his fitness levels do seem suspect.

 

[Ned]

I mean, I get the 352 but without RAN it’s really ****ing negative.

 

[Berkswolf]

Not the team I would have picked.

 

[sc91]

No Neto.

RAN, Podence, Boly dropped.

Umm. We did just win previously, correct.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Ready to watch us get pressed by Everton, give the ball away, and marcal to pass it backwards every single time he gets the ball

 

[Tring Wolf]

Not much running power or athleticism in the wing-back positions again, which was an issue against Palace.

 

[reanswolf]

Why no Boly?

 

[Narfolk Wolf]

Assume we have fitness issues. Hopefully we'll try and put them under pressure from the start.

 

[TheConcourse]

Head. In. Hands.

Let’s see what happens. I’m predicting a negative performance, Raul getting sucked into a defensive vacuum, Marcal not crossing the halfway line and Donk revealing an Everton shirt on the full-time whistle.

Incredibly negative, I know. Hope they prove me disgustingly wrong.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Where is the creativity , hold up play going to come from

Everton just conceded FIVE goals against a team that attacked them. What the ****

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

Hopefully this is one of those games where I slag the starting 11 off and they go on to get the win, doesn't happen often though

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Im not a fan of playing two attacking players against a side as porous as Everton.

 

[Supadavewolf]

Hopefully Hwang will play more centrally in a 3 5 2, or is Lage playing Donk further up on the right as he did a few matches ago.

 

[steve vena]

Christ that's a poor line up.

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

I hope i'm wrong but that line up isn't a good one at all! Everton's weakness is their inability to defend so we go for a much more defensive line up doesn't make sense?!

Like I said hope i'm wrong but feel we have given them way to much respect moving to 3-5-2...

 

[Ned]

Im not a fan of playing two attacking players against a side as porous as Everton.

This is my issue.

 

[TheConcourse]

Marcal

Will never understand it. Ever.

 

[Wolvessince63]

Little bit disappointed in the selection but hey ho Bruno knows best!
COYW

 

[Contrarian]

Marcal is the one name on the team sheet that makes my heart drop a bit. I'd also play Podence in any match ever, but I appreciate that it takes a lot out of wingers to play two games in quick succession.

Neto?

Marcal..and Dendonker, for me.

It looks more like a team set out to contain rather than entertain. I hope Bruno knows something we don't, regarding either the dropped players fitness or Everton's vulnerabilites, as it looks far off the 11 most of us would have thought.

 

[Glow69]

No boly is understandable.

Hope Neto is all good

 

[maws]

Where the **** is Neto!! My pessimism has gone into overdrive that he’s had a setback

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

I like the line up Everton gone very attacking we can pick them off in the second half!!

 

[Direwolf]

I despair of Bruno's team selection. I guess it's squad rotation - would have preferred same as Thursday.

 

[Matt]

I’m not a fan of the lineup. Marcal over RAN removes any creativity on that side of the pitch. Struggle to see how we’re going to create any chances to be honest.

 

[YamYamWolf]

Never change a winning team...

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Im not a fan of playing two attacking players against a side as porous as Everton.

Madness isn’t it . So easy to play against. No out ball. No options. No creativity

What on earth is he thinking

 

[Parkfieldswolf]

I’m assuming the changes are down to fitness/knocks because there’s no way should Bruno be tinkering with the team that beat Watford unless absolutely necessary. I hope we can get the 3 points but we must not take Everton lightly despite their recent **** form.

 

[Wolves Heathen]

Not the team Id have picked ie Marcal, Donk, seems Bruno will be happy with a point or a Smash and grab win.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Will never understand it. Ever.

I assume it's fitness based. If it's not, it's crazy.
No Podence is the real issue for me. If he's knackered, I'd rather see Trincao or Chiq in for Dendoncker. I just don't think playing 3-5-2 against a woefully out of form team is the way to go

 

[SA Wolf]

So much for building on the win!! Poor selection on paper, let's see how it pans-out.
