Must score!

A few deflected near-misses now. Howay, lads.

Whoever this Cachapa is, he's knacked by his own team-mate.

Not much happening it seems... a log of slogging about midfield.

Owen's 5'8" Smith's 5'10" Everyone else is injured.

And it's been warm as well, the big girl.

Btw, .com's match report vs Citeh was spot on, imo.

Wha'? He's on his phone. No idea what you're on about, tbh.

Looks like something out of the Materialism thread.

Depends on the severity of the injury. If he'd just got over a bad blister you wouldn't have any qualms about putting him on the bench for Everton.

Fibs.

should suit each other perfectly those two. Should be them two in the middle for every home game when fit maybe im just thick but why every home game? why would we have to change tactics purely because of the stadium we are playing in? Does this seriously require explanation? Teams playing at home tend to be a little more agressive going forward, and depending on the quality of that team, it may require us to adjust tactics to prepare for that. Also, a partisan crowd can affect players' performances. It may do, actually. Studies have shown the the principal reason (after crowd effect, ref bias, etc.) why teams lose more on the road is simply because they are more defensive.

Great thread.

Congrats to The Machinist.

He was assaulted!

That's fucking weak, if true. Big Sam's in for a bloody rollicking if he comes back injured.

There's been a huge overreaction to this, tbh. It could easily happen at SJP. Talk about being banned/docked points is ludicrous, tbh. It was the action of one man, and it was pretty benign, really.

Did brilliantly True. Quality finish.

Anichebe should've fucked about a bit more there...

Impressed with Metalist. Nice football in comparison to the Everton hoof-a-thon.

Think Yobo's been bollocks.

He needs a kick up the arse, tbh.

In fact, they've scored.

Everton getting back into it.

Brugge, those buggers.
