Spend Ramadan in Saudi and you'll be amazed by the party atmosphere after sundown. It's like a food fight every night. There are all out of their minds on sugar highs. Really it's like a kindergarten for ADHD kids dosed up on E numbers.Think he is just miserable mate as Ramadan is already over, at least it is over here, it’s Idul Fitri now, the time to celebrate without alcohol which is something I will never fathom out
Actually quite fun.

Toffees I've spoke to today are thinking it's a 'must win' game they're destined to lose.
Red noses I've spoke to today all think Origi will score the winner.

So basically which team can overcome the shiteness that's baked in their DNA?
Forest? I'll let you have this one.

Our team should already be picked in Nuno's mind - some say he will wait for the Luton v Brentford result before deciding, but surely the week on the training ground will have been about the game we should play, ignoring the results of other relegation rivals.
Personally I'd like to see:
Sells
Williams Omobanidele Murillo Aina
Dominguez Danilo
Elanga MGW Hudson-Odoi
Wood
If elanga isn't fit i think Reyna did enough last weekend to get another start, but will Everton's smash, grab, waste time aerial bombardment and tough tackling suit him?
Who would win in a cutlass v rapier sword fight?
Hopefully, Boly and Awoniyi will be fit enough for the bench...

No sign of Elanga in the most recent training video, or Awoniyi for that matter.
If they aren't fit I might do what's possibly the stupidest thing ever and switch our shape to wingbacks, bringing in Tavares (good in the air, good going forward), Niakhate (see half of the above) and get Hudson Odoi and MGW playing inside the wingbacks in support of Wood.
As said though, probably daft changing a shape that works for us (sometimes), so it's more a case of what to do about that right wing spot - not sure about Reyna there, don't want to see Origi there or switch Morgan out of where he does most damage.
Could Dominguez play it? Aina perhaps with Tavares still coming in on the left? Switching Hudson Odoi right could also work but takes away his threat cutting inside (and since we didn't do that to accommodate Reyna, who's stats are much better from the left that right I doubt we will).

Branthwaite and DCL back for this one, Coleman probably out from Dyche's press conference

Don't know if my read of this is a bit one eyed but it seems like Dyche is saying that we are still as rubbish as when we lost to hem before and that they are going to kick the living hell out of us.
Hopefully that was his approach to his last game as well.

Let's hope he's judging us on that gone performance, which was one of the worst performances I've seen in recent times.

<puts tin hat on in anticipation> I would rather Dominguez play than Yates at the moment. Yates is a walking yellow card, and at least Dominguez knows what to do in front of the opposition’s goal.

We'll need Yates' height for this one I think.

By that thinking we'd best drop MGW too then seeing as since mid Feb he has had 5 yellows to Yates' 1

Given the context I'd try to force the game with MGW and Reyna and two wingers, so probably a 4-1-4-1. Take your pick on who you want to handle the defensive midfield role, but Dominguez for the press or Yates for the aggression or Sangare for the unknown. No rational reason, just wanted to play.

Absolutely no way on God's Earth are we winning this now with all the bad vibes floating around from the price hike announcement.

I keep hearing that but we need to outplay them. Not try to match them physically or height wise. That's exactly what they'll want- and they'll win. We have better players & pace to scare the shit out of them.
1) Yates has been in shocking form.
2) He's a walking yellow card/ free kick. Exactly what we don't need.
3) His height & physically didn't exactly work the last time we played them did it.
Simply HAS to be Danilo & Dominguez and lets outplay the bastards

I don't see it that way - we'll need to do both: compete _and_ outplay them...I keep hearing that but we need to outplay them. Not try to match them physically or height wise. That's exactly what they'll want- and they'll win. We have better players & pace to scare the shit out of them.

It's Danilo and Yates for me:
1) He hasn't looked as good in a side more in charge of possession I accept, but this is an away game.
2) Against Spurs maybe, but otherwise he's been fine.
3) Singling Yates out for that dire performance is unfair - if you aren't starting Yates based on that stinker there's another ten that can't feature.
I really hope Elanga is fit - his pace on the counter would be invaluable. Sounds like he might be to play some kind of part, but maybe it'll be from the bench. Fwiw I think his presence and how up for it CHO is might be more important than the midfield combination.
Bob Fossil

Elanga will be vital. They're shit scared of pace. Fingers crossed.
For the same reason, if Tavares is fit, it might be worth putting him behind Callum and lets GO

Good call re Sangare... if Everton sit back, it maight give him time and space to work whatever magic he has that persuaded our Board to pay £35m for him.
Alternatively, if they kick shit out of us, sangare might go missing in action.

I think it's a big relief in a lot of ways that this is an away game. The cynic in me thinks that they were always going to announce this sort of bad news on an away game week.
I agree with that. If I'm Sean Dyche I'm wanting Yates to start as he's good for at least 2/3 free kicks a game.I keep hearing that but we need to outplay them. Not try to match them physically or height wise. That's exactly what they'll want- and they'll win. We have better players & pace to scare the shit out of them.

To be honest I don't think Yates should be near the side regardless of the opposition. Seems a great lad and gives 100% which is great but he's just not good enough.
