Naff the transfer window I want some football to watch.

Mini rivalry between the managers. Koeman is a putz IMO. Decent manager but still a putz.

Line ups are anyone's guess now.
 
I think we'll lose it, our confidence is shot and we know our players are weak mentally. I like what Everton are doing and they'll be playing with confidence and their fans will create a good atmosphere.

It's not an ideal fixture for us right now cause if we were to lose fans and pundits will jumping all over it.
 
I see it as a game difficult to call. I don't see the Toffees hitting many past us but we could do that to them. I don't fear it. Everton are tipped for top 6 this season so are direct rivals to us. I think we should have too much for them if Eriksen , Alli and Kane turn up.

When is this game ?

9 days away.



These International breaks, why don't the big clubs just band together and kill them off ?

Players come back injured, or from halfway round the world 24 hours before a club game, so miss out on the club game, the whole thing needs scrapping.
 
Looks like Koscielny got injured playing for France. Arsenal are gonna meltdown, brings me so much joy watching them bitch and moan
 
Well Australia didn't turn up for our WCQ against Japan, so the internationals were not good over this side of the planet, and we had no Aaron Mooy, so bring on the Blue Scouse.

Absolutely must win......no draw or loss. Everyone must stop sulking, get their heads in the game, show some pride in that shirt and play to their ability. If we do this we might just win.
 
Forward Feeling Positive Ahead Of Spurs

The challenging start to the season doesn't get any easier for Everton as meetings with Manchester City, Chelsea and several Europa League ties continues against Tottenham on Saturday.

When the Blues return from the international break a response to the defeat at Chelsea is something Ronald Koeman will be looking for when Spurs visit Goodison Park.

Sandro Ramirez is certainly up for the game and has been working hard at Finch Farm during the break in a bid to get his season up and running after being injured on his debut against Stoke, rushing his return for the Premier League champions.

He told the Official Website: 'I wanted to use these two weeks to prepare and keep improving ahead of the Tottenham game. I have worked hard to prepare for the Spurs game which for us, in front of our fans, will be massive. I feel very positive about the team going into this match. The week before the Chelsea game I was not really resting, because I was training and preparing myself.'

Adding: 'I had two weeks of problems with my heel but I was looking forward to playing again when we went to Chelsea. Now I feel one hundred per cent and I want to be ready for the Spurs game.'

The Spaniard played a part in helping Wayne Rooney mark his second debut for Everton with a goal against Stoke and he's now eager to open his own account.

He's pleased with the Blues' start to the Premier League season but he knows there's more to come from the team as a collective unit and himself on a personal level - Sandro went on to say he's convinced his game is well suited to England.

Sandro said: 'I think playing in England suits me - it gives me the chance to make runs in behind and attack the spaces. One of the reasons I came to the Premier League was I knew I was coming to one of England's biggest clubs. So far it has been very good. Of course, there are so many things we need to improve and we are working every day on the training ground to get better.

I want Sanchez and Aurier chucked in right at the deep end. We need speed and power added to the team right away.
 
I tend to agree RD , the sooner they get into it the better.

Poch can be bold with selections if he thinks they are ready. Trippier was off colour last time out and may not be fit. Which poses the question.....who do you play ? Dier for safety, KWP or Aurier.

Wanyama was poor too so do you risk Sanchez or stay with Dier . With no newcomers , KWP RB and Dier in the middle for me.

This is a big game so I suspect Poch will go safe at the back.
