Cronky Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Disappointed that Onana is playing. This will be a tough battle. It's sensible to freshen things up. I'm sure Isak will come on after an hour - Eddie is wary about his fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's smash these horrible fuckers into the Championship! I read the return of target as to not destroy burns confidence. Drop him after a good game and say it’s resting vs after all the stick he was getting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon_Geordie Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I'm surprised by the Burn switch for this game, but what do I know. in Eddie we trust. Howay the lads! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I expect Wilson will be champing at the bit, give him service and he's scoring tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) Had Isak to have 2 shots on target in this match for my bet builder so I'm disappointed in Howe Edited April 27, 2023 by Mattoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I suspect Eddie thinks we are going to have a lot of the ball and Targett is more useful in this regard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 When Howe puts out a team out of the left field like that, it normally means he has a specific gameplan. Great to see Targett back, let's hope he's as good as he was last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Delighted to see Targett get a start, hopefully he justifies it but he deserves it for patience alone, and at times Burn has looked a weak link. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiesteve710 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I wouldn't have left Burn out for this one personally. Oh well, in Eddie we trust I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Can't say enough about EH and how well he's managed Isak/Wilson and their respective fitness and morale. Think Wilson will hopefully be flying and trying to prove a point tonight with Isak to come on if needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 It does make a lot of sense to rotate when you have three games in a week. Just have to believe the lads coming in will be up to the job, and tbf, all of them were first choices in their respective positions at some point this season.

Amir_9 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Hope Targett has a beast of game, for what we are as a team these days I feel he is a better fit there and I felt it was very harsh on him to be out of the side for that long even after returning from injury. Don't get me wrong, I think Burn is class but he is a defender and his lacklustre contributions in attack as well as lack of confidence in those around him during our attacking phase was evident.

Surely this is one of the few matchups he makes sense in as Everton will play long balls all day and look for Free kicks and corners. Could have used his height. Ah well in Eddie we trust He's tall of course, but Targett is probably just as good in the air. Burn is a liability when it comes to actually heading a football Edit: already been said Edited April 27, 2023 by Robbo2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
