Bobby will be desperate to play - isn’t he an Evertonian?

Yes. All his family will be there. Though his dad has been coming to watch us so not sure what end he'll be in.

I was just going to post this.

The situation with the trains is a disgrace - one small local station ( Sandhills ) to serve everyone going to the ground from both directions, means that the trains end up like cattle trucks. ( the council were supposed to build a brand new purpose built station as part of the new ground development, but as always with local government, it failed to materialise )

What a good portion of fans do, home and away, is have a pint in and around the Dale Street end of the city centre ( loads of historic old proper pubs ), which is the end of the city closest to the ground and walk - about 20 mins.

However with it being a Friday evening ko, it`d pretty much mean leaving mid afternoon at the latest.

You can`t get near the ground in a car either, as all the roads around it, are closed off too.

It`s the exact same for all the fans, home and away.

Going to meet my Evertonian family and mates in The Bridwell and then go to the ground. The blue nose that is the wife is being unbearable in the lead up to this…I’m in the home end and she’s threatening to tell the stewards if I even clap my hands.

Looks like a 30 minute walk from city centre so probably best to park at Liverpool One and walk rather than trying to get local trains or park nearer the ground

 

[David O'Day]

Does Hayden Hackney playing for Everton make them close enough to Boro that the hoodoo carries over?

 

[Captain Dart]

Probably will be rested as the International break coming up should allow him to properly rest his injury.

 

[Gibbo]

On the basis of what i have seen so far, everton are pretty toothless and Barry has two left feet

Queue Barry scores a second half hattrick

 

[Alex1987]

I've booked a parking space 15 mins walk from the ground but hear there are transport issues. Can anyone advise here please?

Got one

 

[HadjiChippo]

Need to be wary of giving Dewsbury-Hall too much space to create on Friday.

 

[Macca]

Could squeeze a point from this

 

[Evo1883]

I suspect it will be an unspectacular affair with everton being well drilled and hard to beat .

Take a point all day

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

They’re professional athletes, the extra rest means absolutely nothing and will make no difference.

And the thing with top level professional athletes is that the tiniest of advantages can make the difference. That's why they spend fortunes on recovery, sports science, psychologists etc. just to get that extra 0.1-0.2%

 

[SleepyGinger]

Nothing to fear on tonight’s showing

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Dropping Saka is like cutting off one of MVE’s legs

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Absolutely no point pumping it up in the air against these. That Branthwaite will be an England centre back soon imo.

When you look at all the money they’ve wasted, I can’t believe Man Utd didn’t break the bank for him in the summer.

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Agreed, they are very much bearable

I hated him in the Championship but we will need to nullify Dewsbury-Hall, he's their best player IMO

Don`t park there mate, as it`s mega expensive, have a hunt around online, as there are much cheaper places.

There`s roadworks near to the ground, but if you use your sat nav, it should take you around them to your parking spot.

 

[wingy]

Got one

A two yard tap in, take the advantage of the two day's or even three.

Good choice of pub, food is decent in there too.

 

[wingy]

A couple of injuries possibly too.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

How did Everton look vs Newcastle? Didn’t catch the game

The better side and were pretty comfortable bar one late chance for Newcastle

 

[Ashdown]

Be careful everyone……oh I think I’ve been watching too much ‘ This City is Ours ‘
A couple more wins and we start climbing the lowest Premier league points of all time league. I think 18 points gets us out the top 6.
Play more flamboyantly like Saturday and against Newcastle and we could surprise these. Sit back and try and defend for too long and we’ll lose. Go for it Frank !

Well it's obvious.

Attackers... last summer.

Midfielders... this summer.

Defenders... next summer.

Although... at this rate... they'll have more chance going for Kitching, Woolfenden & Lati than Branthwaite!

 

[Matt Grimes' Beard]

Sitting back and inviting them on doesn’t work against the quality players in this league.

So it should be fine for Everton then?

Its closer to a 45-min walk and a bloody expensive car park on match days as they bump the price up.

 

[Matt Grimes' Beard]

Should be going for the win on Friday.

When you're playing a team whos best player is Kiernan Fucking Dewsbury-Hall, then every team should be looking for 3 points!!

Tbf their best player is probably Grealish, hopefully hes still in the doghouse Friday

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

TBF Hall, Garner and Branthwaite are probably better than anything we've got but as for the rest , I wouldn't swap any of them. I think we get a win there .

 

[Pezza]

Would be very happy with our first draw here.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

1-1 Torp to score from a free kick

Let’s make Dewsbury-Hall cry again

Dewsbury-hall is a very good player?
