We’ve got Elliott and Endo, too, who can play in central midfield. They’re very different players, and each would be more of a specialist than an all-rounder, but Arne doesn’t seem to fancy them at all.

I think it’s precisely the case that because Endō is a specialist that it’s quite difficult for him to get game time, not so much that Arne doesn’t fancy him.
In Elliott’s case, I think it’s hard to say because he’s been injured for most of the season thus far. He was only available for 3 games pre-injury, during which time we barely rotated.

I had no idea this lot were playing last night. They’ll be fucked after playing three games in a week. Just need to pass them off the park and keep the ball.

How about Morton? Perhaps he could be an option in this physical game.

Forgot about him. Just woken up.

I just think he’s the kind of player who does a lot of good work under the radar. The type you don’t notice until he’s not there.

I’m not underestimating him nor his value. I’m just pointing out that we have managed to do fine thus far without him.
His suspension is a loss for us because it means that we’re less likely to have a midfield option to substitute in to keep up the tempo.
Lads, it’s Everton!

I think Elliott hasn’t played too much mainly due to the injury.
Sort of the right lad who will fight his heart in these games if you put him on with 20 mins left.

Arne’s Press Conference at 14:15 GMT this afternoon. Shit, he must have a hangover!

Endo is a specialist in what exactly?
Didn’t put his alarm on and was like “fuck”

Just hope Oliver remembers to bring his red card onto the pitch for issuing to Tarkowski, when his first knee high challenge on Diaz has come straight from his 1970’s playbook.
Nah, probably just be a wag of the finger, no cards issued to a blue shirt in the game

Exactly. A club who’s entire existence is based on causing us as much harm as possible. They have literally no other aim.

Nah. He decided to do breakfast at Spoons first today.
I’ll be looking for the baked bean stains on his top today - dead giveaway.

Tomorrow’s forecast for Liverpool:
Doesn’t look too promising… Any danger of the match being called off, I wonder?

There is also an Orange Met office warning. Games have been cancelled before with a red warning. I wouldn’t fancy being in the top of Goodison in that.
