Ah shit we won so I have to do another one. Alright, Eddies bubble bursting penalty merchants vs nailed on relegation certainties, Everton.

Don’t worry, I’ve had the foresight to pack my umbrella.

If Ritchie starts at LB then Hall may as well head back to Chelsea 

 

Murphy RB Trippier LB. I hope Hall starts.

 

[PaddockLad 17239]

We should twat these but I think the banana skin could be Dan Burn and Schar…. don’t be surprised to see both Calvert Lewin and Beto sooner rather than later.. we’re basically a centre half down. Expect long diagonals into these two. DB will lap it up but Schar tends to wilt under that sort of pressure. Hall should start, probably won’t 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hopefully he’s still full of shit.

Not having much luck with the blob so far in your new job then? We'll have to give you a new nickname. 

 

 

I'm going tonight, feels like ages since I was last here.

If there is any truth in it (which there probably isn’t) it’ll be Dubravka.

Probably the least damaging injury (assuming it's true) - Karius is no better or worse than Dubravka IMO.

 

If it's disruptive though then it's either Bruno, Isak or one of the last two senior centre backs we have on two legs.

 

That said, it's most likely bollocks (I fucking hope)

Bit shan that like - What's Dubravka ever done to you?

[aimaad22 4156]

Dubravka used to be decent at shot stopping at least but he's been terrible at everything since coming into the team this time. Barring the Blackburn game. I'd happily see Karius start, could hardly be worse.  

[Alex 35059]

@strawb will no doubt put me right if I’m talking shite (wouldn’t be the first time for either) but I didn’t think Dubravka did particularly well for any of the goals v West Ham. Not saying it’s all on him by any means as we’re still way too open

Football is a confidence game, if you are confident you play better. Goalkeeper more so than any position, it seems to me that Dubravka has lost his confidence a bit. Either through not playing or the injuries he had prior to Pope coming in.

 

He could have done better on both goals but I don’t think either were a howler.

[Holden McGroin 6581]

I’d imagine Dubs is playing with an illness or injury. I can’t remember him being at this level. Although age could have caught up with him.

Willock on the bench, Trips and Tino not even in the squad. 

 

[PaddockLad 17239]

If we’re 2 goals up after an hour (it’s not a bad XI tbf)  will that be enough with that bench?  

[Kid Dynamite 7025]

Not sure who the mystery injury is? Tino worse than feared, or Trippier had a set back it seems?

He's retweeted his original post and said that it's Tino and that the injury "doesn't look good at all". 

 

Who knows though, he was completely wrong about Pope on the same day as he's giving the ITK big one about another player.

Tino and Miggy out for a month according to the Straight Dope.

We will cope if Trippier is back next week and Barnes stays fit
