I think we may leave out Martinelli and play Trossard. Of course Lego man will pick Havertz.

Why does saka always get a free pass?

He has been shit for a while and if the stories are true playing through an injury so he should be the one that's rested.

Martinelli has been playing well.

Ohhh! Fucking great, just what we need is for these Dirty ScouseCun.ts to be given a "Lift", if the manager bounce last season wasn't enough to commence our derailment in the chase for the title....


Premier League Everton are set to have new owners after Farhad Moshiri agreed to sell his 94% stake in the club to American investment fund 777 Partners.

The takeover would bring to an end the tumultuous tenure of British-Iranian Moshiri, who first invested in 2016.

The sale is expected to be completed by the end of 2023, subject to Premier League, Football Association and Financial Conduct Authority approval.

The takeover would mean half of the 20 top-flight clubs are American-owned.

Moshiri said in a statement: "The nature of ownership and financing of top football clubs has changed immeasurably since I first invested in Everton over seven years ago.

"The days of an owner/benefactor are seemingly out of reach for most, and the biggest clubs are now typically owned by well-resourced private equity firms, specialist sports investors or state-backed companies and funds."

777 founder Josh Wander said: "We are truly humbled by the opportunity to become part of the Everton family as custodians of the club, and consider it a privilege to be able to build on its proud heritage and values.

"Our primary objective is to work with fans and stakeholders to develop the sporting and commercial infrastructure for the men's and women's teams that will deliver results for future generations of Everton supporters."

777 looking forward to 'world-class' new stadium

Everton lie 18th in the Premier League after picking up just one point from their opening four games this season.

They are in disarray both on and off the pitch, narrowly escaping relegation in the past two seasons, including staying up with victory on the final day last term.

Next month the club will go before an independent commission for an alleged breach of the Premier League's Financial Fair Play rules, but Everton have denied wrongdoing and said they were "prepared to robustly defend" their position.

In March, the club posted financial losses for the fifth successive year, taking their cumulative losses over that period to more than £430m.

They are also in the process of building a new stadium on Bramley-Moore Dock and costs could reach £760m, a £260m increase on figures quoted by the club last year.

"I have been open about the need to bring in new investment and complete the financing for our iconic new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, on the banks of the Mersey, which I have predominantly financed to date," said Moshiri.

"I have spoken to a number of parties and considered some strong potential opportunities. However, it is through my lengthy discussions with 777 that I believe they are the best partners to take our great club forward, with all the benefits of their multi-club investment model."

Wander added: "We are committed to partnering with the local community over the long term, working on important projects such as the development of Bramley-Moore Dock as a world-class stadium venue, allowing thousands more Evertonians to attend our home matches and contribute to the economic and cultural regeneration of Merseyside."

The more worrying thing is that half the league is American owned.

Whether or not they get a bounce (and I'd be surprised if they did, in fact I think it will be the polar opposite as the manager and most of the players will know they will be replaced as soon as they get new owners) , it is still the same team, we have Rice now and he ain't getting bullied, 4-1 win to The Arsenal.

I would definitely rest Saka, he's totally off form, martinelli is a tough lad and is in form.

I would also put Jorginho in with Rice, he's a no nonsense player and can rough it up with the best of them.

Trossard needs to start imo too.

Anyhow we will put this game to bed early doors.

It’s all made up though. Let’s see what happens later.

I don't know if it's the curry lastnight or the copious amount of beer I had to cool my mouth down :rubchin: But I've got a dodgy feeling about this today :cry: I think we'll find out what minerals we have today,but I've a feeling we won't have the required amount at their place yet again.1-0 or 2-1 to them as per recent form in this fixture.

If we don't come out blazing from kick off it's going to be one of those horrific games as they'll be well up for it!

All about leadership and attitude today. Lets face it - they are absolutely shite and we are a far superior team, but we could have said that in just about any season in the last 35 years. We had a fantastic record there when we had proper leaders in the team, and we've had a shocking record ever since we sent pansies up there who get knocked about. Rice is the key man today - they've normally got a midfielder or two who like to kick everything that moves, and in past knobheads like Clive and Partey have allowed themselves to get rattled. I fully expect Rice to lead from the front and rise to the occasion.

The defenders worry me though in games like this. It sounds like Calvert Lewin will play which will mean a very direct, aerial bombardment for much of the game. The centre halves will need to be strong today, and I hope and pray that Tomiyasu is nowhere near the field. This is exactly the sort of game where Zinchenko and Odegaard have faded under physical pressure too, so will be keeping a close eye on those two. Absolutely no worries about the likes of Martinelli and Jesus who get kicked all day long and still come back for more. The same could usually be said about Saka too, but as others have said on here already, he really isn't in form at all.

Hopeful that our new man Rice is the catalyst for change against these c.unts but he can't do it all alone!

Whether it’s the red or blue half we’re playing, the two away fixtures up at that shit hole are the two games each season I just expect will bring heaps of misery and they rarely disappoint.

I just have that awful feeling that there’s more trouble brewing for us again today, whether it’s Calvert Lewin or that other donkey they signed it’s going to be a bomb fest of hoof ball for the 90. Dinosaur arms launching goal kicks and the rest looking for corners, free kicks and throw in. Gabriel is far more comfortable up against a ball playing striker, where he’s game gets a bit ragged is against a big physical shit kicker and he’ll have plenty of that today.

The crowd will be baying for blood from minute 1, we need to quieten those fucking animals early or it could be a long afternoon.

I despise these c.unts and have gone out of my way to watch a few of their games this season because I enjoy watching them getting stuffed. Thing is they’ve actually been the far better team in most of the games I’ve seen them play - Fulham, Wolves and Sheffield United yet they only ended up with 1 point from 9.

As much as I’d love to see them go down there nowhere near as bad as the table suggests and it would be just fucking typical for us to be the ones to kick start their season.

I’m shitting myself :cry:
