Discussion 2024/25 EPL Dream Team Discussion: GW23 starts SUN 26th JAN @ 1:00am AEST [5 GAMES]

Sean Dyche sacked at Everton just 3 hours before their FA Cup game. Cannot deny new owners enthusiasm for change.

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

Got through first round easily and now have a team with 8 Liverpool players. Fair to say unless something crazy happens in that Liverpool game, I should be winning.

Don't worry about Pool this week. Will be all low scoring...

Rumour I have seen is Steve Cooper to take the role. Wouldn't it be hilarious if it was and Everton stay up and Leicester are relegated

Draws with ARS, CHE and City. Kept 7 CS. Don't need a manager. Need a striker that can finish.

Moyes is what I have seen. Back to the future.

And a midfield that can get the ball to the strikers

Maybe I am only hearing Cooper due to my allegiances with Forest.

Ruthless business. ten Hag won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup in consecutive years and still got sacked.

 

[Manikato1]

Cooper has had two goes at it in the EPL and it hasn't ended well on either occasion. Taking on a team under pressure for positive results would not be an easy task I think.

But they mean nothing when you're close to relegation at Utd

 

[Hazardous Mata]

Even Everton fans don't deserve that.

Hope that is the case for the EPL Games

Most likely matches where one or both team is playing in the FA Cup.

Edit: Some may be weather related too.

You want the EPL games to be postponed??

In any case, this is lower league football, doesn't have the facilities of the EPL, so it unlikely to be replicated.

Further to my post of Dec 3 the score at full time was 0-0 and the crowd was apparently 3700. Spurs did win 3-0 eventually but the first goal was an own goal. They needed to bring on Son and Kulusevski and Solanke in the end to get the job done. The Tamworth team included a bricklayer, zipper salesman and a barber. Only a baker and a candlestick maker were missing. But it was entertaining wasn't it Ange!

Obviously, the butcher put in the own goal!

Non-league teams are a bit like that. Treat them too lightly, and they can be competitive and even win, as for them, it's a rarity to play teams of that level and they step it up.

I support a team in the same league as Tamworth and they've beaten three U21 sides from Premier League / Championship clubs this year in the National League Cup. Not exactly the same standard as the FA Cup, sure, but for most clubs at that level, the whole team are part time footballers who have other jobs. You do get a few sides in the league that are more professional with much larger budgets, but the majority are part time.

Was watching that game, and Tamworth had a real chance towards the end to actually pinch the game. I think Ange might have been in trouble then.

Jesus to Isak and Raya to Onana to fund it.
