    He already has

    Coleman, Rodriguez, Richarleson and digne all out... Nearly half their 1st 11 and 4 of their best players.....

    I think we've got a chance today, but Everton still have the likes of lewin, doucoure and Alan who are 3 very good players.. Im not to worried about the rest and Pickford will get too excited

    Their central midfielders are in a totally different league to ours

    I hope Everton thrash us just for Bruce's excuse.

    Indeed I've been saying we need two cms for years... I think we might see the Longstaffs in there today

    I'm keen to see the lineup, but I think with 4 of their best players put we should be looking to go after them. I don't care who you're 4 of your best players out will see a drastic drop in performance and they're coming off a loss. Its also a miserable day not great for good football, so we might be get something...

    Already?? And we haven't even kicked off yet. I'd like to see Bruce's excuse for that.

    It’s obvious.

    “Everton were quicker out of the blocks than we were and you have to respect that. We need to learn how to match them in that but we are where we are.”

    Didn't adhere to his tactics of staying 1-0 down till the final 3 minutes

    Utter **** that last night. For once he just accepted we were ****. We could not pass water. Footballing lesson and uncomfortable to watch. We watched a modern mobile style tear us to pieces again, and this time the players had a bad day at the office. Could have been 6 or 7.
