Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 Kasper Justin Fof Evans Castagne Wilf Kevin youri Mads Barnes Nacho Obviously unlikely Nacho will start but I prefer him as a lone striker over perez, and I think it's hard to drop Albrighton, Under and Ricardo are both viable options, that'd be my preferred 11 to start and see how we are at half time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUHILL Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 I didn't realise they had won 4 of their last 5 in the league. I think this will be a really tough game for us, with Ancellotti trying to stifle our attacks and frustrate us. Something we don't often react well to. The professional performances over Spurs and Chelsea fill me with confidence though, and I do think we are the better team right now. We just need to keep our shape and patience and keep knocking on the door to break them down. If we score first, I expect another Spurs/Chelsea type performance. If they do, I think a hard fought draw is on the cards. Just hope we perform without Vardy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnfox Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 There are some games which you look at on paper and think we should win, some where you'd be happy with a point and others that are really tricky and could go either way. This is a tricky game for sure - and one of considerable consequence. This is the moment when we either break away and hang on to Utd and Man City with a Champions League cushion, or we get sucked back into the pack fighting for 3rd-7th. Huge game and a real test.

( Sorry Nacho is just not doing it for me as I always thought that Slimani were better option) By the way which surgery (even a minor one) allows you to recover in 10 days???? That's what I call real speculation😂😂😂😂😂 laproscopic, more commonly known as keyhole surgery. Tbh, I'm not hugely optimistic either, if we get in front in the 1st minute I'll be calling for a back 3.

Spudulike Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 Biggest test for Lil Wes so far. No free headers from corners or set pieces and we'll have a chance. It's going to be very tough without Vardy, obviously, but we have the best full backs in the league so take our chances and we might just get a result. Not confident.

adejo92 Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 We're guaranteed to concede from a set piece so I'm going for a 2-1 win. I'm a massive critic of Nacho but I'm more than open to my opinion being changed. Intact, I'd love him to change my opinion of him by bagging a few in Vardys absence . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesta2014 Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 Always feel like Everton will beat us. Bit of a bogey team in my head (stats probably don’t back that up). They are on good form and will fancy their chances from set pieces with Mina, Keane, richarlison, Calvert-lewin in the middle and James or sigurdson putting in quality delivery. Hold them out from set pieces and I think we nick it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that worries me is without Vardy out it kind of gives the opponents some confidence.... Irrespective of whether he has scored - he's still a huge threat, stretches a defence, opens up space by peeling away and running decoys, providing assists, game intelligence and generally being an antagonistic pain in the arse for any opposing side. So your "worry" is justified. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
