stressederic Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 So, I dreamt we won this 10-0 and Salah scored 4.
PaulMcC186 Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Is Keita out? If he trained yesterday he should be ok.
Hightown Phil Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Don't think there's no Keita is there? Thought they were saying he was supposed to train here while they were in Hungary but he was ill but he trained yesterday? Anyway, same team again please.
Billy Talbot Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 oooh it's 1730. I thought it was another 1230. Excellent.
Molby Posted February 19, 2021 Author Posted February 19, 2021 soz, Keita isn't officially out, that was just me commenting in a nark a la 'may as well be' yes he trained then took sick again (germs not muscular niggles) so we'll see
RedHarvest Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 It seems like its psychological with Keita, he needs a few sessions on the couch with an ace headshrinker
Falconhoof Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 I wonder if there is any benefit in sending Keita on a retreat. Somewhere with hot springs or somewhere Victorians used to go for the air

Sion Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 I'd play Davies and Kabak. Or maybe even Nat Phillips. Their tactic will be get the ball on DCL's head. If we play Henderson then he won't win a header all day.

Be staggered if Philips started given he's only ever really started as a complete last resort, and even if he did it's a hell of an assumption to think that they wouldn't have watched him play and seen he's slower than evolution and then adapted accordingly.

If we play Henderson then he won't win a header all day. They will also play for set pieces. That c*** Richarlison will be diving constantly trying to win them (when he’s not trying to maim ours). We really could do with the added height. Saying that I would be very surprised if it isn’t Hendo back there though.

Used to love that in football.
Murphman Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Philips wouldn't be a bad shout against these actually, don't think I'm put him in alongside Kabak though. Hendo is alright in the air isn't he Phil, such a shame Fabinho is out I'd love to see either of them kicking lumps out of these shower of f*cking dogs tomorrow. My dislike of Everton hasn't generally been as deep as a lot of people on here, maybe because we have so many Blues in the family my brother included, definitely because I don't live in Liverpool. But since that game in October I hate them more than anybody else in the league, I'm still fuming, haven't calmed down one little bit.
Hightown Phil Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 The manager definitely holds Nat Phillips in lower regard than is being accepted here. He's spent months preferring Rhys Williams, then he played actual midfielders together instead, how's he gonna go from that to starting him in a derby?!

He isn't as good at centre half as the two midfielders, both are world class footballers. But he's done well in his last two outings both of which suited him, he's a tad dodgy against people like Vardy and Jesus but Charlison and Calvert Lewin will suit him better maybe. I just want to get that midfield strengthened, Hendo missing is one of the main reasons we are struggling in there.

Wouldn't a man who is tactically switched on enough to have won 3 European Cups just change their tactics and play Richarlison on him instead? Richarlison is really quick. He'd be lucky to make half time without being done or booked. Or maybe even both.

How did he get rated as one of the best CBs in the Championship of all leagues if he's not that good in the air? He doesn't look particularly quick either. Is he good at anything? Have we just bought him to sell him for 10m in the summer to Derby County?

Very few teams play big number nines and lump the ball up to him these days.

Richarlison is really quick. He'd be lucky to make half time without being done or booked. Or maybe even both. I don't agree that Philips is such a stand out liability as you appear to think? He's quicker than Williams for sure, is physically very strong and great in the air, he's no good on the ball but so long as he keeps it simple he seems to get by, he was great last time out. I don't see Richarlison as a Vardy type player, maybe I have that wrong, he is quick like but we have a back four not a back one.. and Ancelotti is a great manager, but we have much better players, tactics only get you so far
