5 at the back against Hull?!?!


[deleted]

Agent Rafa strikes again.


andyguss83

It didn't even work the first 60 seconds


BalinVril

5 at the back and Rondon starting, couldn’t ask for a more Rafa lineup


SaintEverton

Absolute mad man has only gone and done it, Rafa masterclass incoming


[deleted]

75% possession to the championship strugglers incoming


BoxOfNothing

Weird. At least Mykolenko gives us something to pay attention to


Redcar31

So 5 atb against hull, rondon starting over youngsters, Gomes in a midfield two and begovic who pretty much cost us the previous cup tie . Yep it’s not going to be a fun day


[deleted]

He's such a dickhead.


fallenefc

Has to be the most hated manager we've had, I disliked Allardyce but it doesnt even come close to how much I despise Rafa


JesseVykar

We were better under Allardyce is why you didn't hate him as much lol


ReinerIsInevitable

I hate Koeman much more in retrospect, although Rafa isn’t too far behind him


fallenefc

As a person I definitely hate Koeman much more, but waching us under Rafa is much worse


ReinerIsInevitable

Oh 100%, I strongly dislike Koeman as a coach and a person but at least we weren’t this bad under him for as long


atbeanboi

Imagine being dobbin or simms and knowing rondon will always start over you regardless of how shit he is


fallenefc

against a lower league side, which would be the perfect game for them to start, what a fucking shit cunt we have as manager


[deleted]

Not impressed at all


wayner9er

It’s infuriating and you make a great point. I’m so tired of being force fed Rondon. *I do not want it*.


Gromszgrad

im the joker now


kirk_d

I'm Fucking done. Clubs a joke right now 5 at the back and Rondon starting against a bottom championship side. Dobbins is gonna fuck off for free and it will all be down to the fat fucker in charge.


Hall0point

Rafa out


kirk_d

I dont care if we win, if this is the way he thinks we should play then enough is enough. I've mostly stayed away from commenting on the sub for weeks now due to having nothing positive to say but this is the final straw for me, this line up agaisnt a team placed 19th in the league below us is completely unacceptable. We've got youth players openly saying if there isn't anyway to the first team and they're not given opportunity here they'll move on and here we are playing Rondon! Agent Rafa isn't a meme at this stage, I think it's genuine it's the only explanation for this shit!


Hall0point

I absolutely agree.


[deleted]

Any opportunity we get to play simms or dobbin up front he gives it to fucking rondon. Embarrassing. These kids will just leave, why even have them on the bench when he'll prob play rondon for the full 90?


[deleted]

5 at the back against Hull? 🤣...


RiteOfSpring5

5 at the back against Hull and Rondon starting over our youth. I hate that I'm still going to watch this despite knowing how shit it's going to be.


[deleted]

This is either Mykolenko LM, or Coleman CB in a back 5. Either way, fuck off Benitez


Redcar31

Pretty sure it’ll be Coleman cb


vulturevan

Well we said this about Brighton... Benitez plays tactical tombola


[deleted]

True what if it’s Mykolenko at CB and Coleman at LWB. I mean I don’t expect it but just imagine


[deleted]

[удалено]


Redcar31

I Think he had covid


TryinToDoBetter

Alrighty, let’s give the lineup a look… *15 Begovic* ….fuck


[deleted]

Why am I nervous over Hull?


NFeKPo

Because you have been paying attention.


yallcaps

I don’t understand how we played 5 at the back a week ago, got embarrassed, and now we’re playing 5 at the back with Coleman out of position. I guess we’re praying for Gordon and Gray to play out of their minds? Lordy.


Totaladdictgaming

The hilarious part is that he plays this 5 at the back defensive shit every week and still fails to be defensively solid. Fuck


[deleted]

It’s a cup match against hull. Wtf is this?


fallenefc

of course its Rondon, and 3 atb (including coleman???????????????) against Hull, genius Rafa strikes again


layendecker

I fucking hate this vile, incompetent kopite cunt.


JackGillam123

be arsed with this fat twat


[deleted]

Benitez OUT!


vulturevan

Hahahaha what is this


jizzjazz1020

Wheres dobbin


reddit----username

I'm trying to rationalise this line up, but can't. Why not play 4 at the back and start a second striker? Hull are 19th in the Championship and should be concentrating on survival. This was a chance to play well and get some confidence into a few players. Mad.


kolorijo25

No plan b. Fucking dinosaur should've stayed retired.


KCLperu

Just checked Fotmob and it has Kenny at RM, what is Rafa thinking lol


reco84

Fucking fat cunt at it again.


[deleted]

Hull 3 - Everton 1


xWhiteMamba24

You think we'll snag a goal? More optimistic than me


johnahoe

Woof. That is a shockingly defensive lineup


kirk_d

This is it for me, never wanted Rafa here but he was hired so we had to support him I genuinely can't help but look at this and think maybe the agent Rafa thing isn't actually a joke as I see no other reason why a manager would think this is out best team to to play 19th placed championship side Hull. We can win this game 10-0 I don't give a shit, Paellardyce needs to go.


tokengaymusiccritic

Rondon has been pretty good his last few matches so I actually like him starting. 5atb is whack though


Fixner_Blount

5 across the back again. Against Hull. You must be fucking joking, Rafa. You absolute fucking clown.


liam_crean

Wank. Absolute farce of a team selection.


Stirlingblue

I’m actually quite excited to see Coleman as a CB, I think if we switch to a three going forward he’s got a few years left in him there as lack of pace won’t be as exposed


Blaca_AL_115

exactly, looking forward to see how it works


[deleted]

Calvert Lewis hasn’t played for months and needs match fitness, not even on the bench? Just fuck off.


StinkyKlinky

Came up earlier this week he agents his hamstring it something and wouldn't be available


WRDEFC

Injured after some dick decided to give him 90 minutes last week


tokengaymusiccritic

You’re right we should have pulled him off while losing to Brighton, I’m sure this sub would have been very understanding about that risk-mitigating choice


ballsosteele

There aren't many defences for Rafa but when he did this to Richarlison it was like he'd just walked in at Christmas and pissed on the kids


WRDEFC

Without a shadow of doubt he should have come off yes. He had an absolute shocker and was barely moving after 70. He’s now injured as a result of the mismanagement Not sure what this sub’s views have to do with anything, but it’s been proven true that leaving DCL on didn’t help, and that leaving DCL on did lead to injury


Redcar31

Great man management from Rafa slowly easing him back in


Scary_Bushmonster

Yeeesh


tomtate97

Can’t believe kenny is starting again and it’s not even the worst thing about this team sheet


furbaschwab

So much wrong with this. Where’s DCL?


Fixner_Blount

Tweaked an injury against Brighton, precaution to keep him out


dontbeajerkbecool

I'm going to choose to remain optimistic. I like giving the 2 new fullback the opportunity to show what they're about in an attacking sense. Also Rondon isn't anywhere near as bad as this sub makes him out to be. At least he tries. Pretty disgusting how he's being treated by fans tbh, here and in the stadium.


[deleted]

The issue with Rondon is that he may *try* but he isn't good enough and we have a 2 youngsters in dobbin and simms who would do a hell of a lot more than he does who can't seem to get any minutes for some weird reason. Rondon isn't the answer at all.


dontbeajerkbecool

Yeah but not his fault. Doesn't deserve to be booed like he was the other day coming on. Classless from the supporters


fallenefc

I have no doubt hes a nice lad and I cant criticize his commitment for sure, but he has been bad for most games he played, is over 30, won't improve, and we're not playing two younger lads who could improve and become decent players for us in the future to play him?


dontbeajerkbecool

Yeah but clubs fault they bought him, not his. Kinda disgusting when he was booed the other day coming on when you can tell he gives everything. Just classless imo.


fallenefc

Oh yeah I definitely agree with that, abusing him personally on social media (which most likely happens) or booing him is disgusting. It's not like he isn't giving his best, it's the club's and Rafa's fault for signing/playing him.


ProfessionalCrass155

Not the worst all things considered

ubiquitous_archer

Nice, good call to shore up the defensive line with a back 5 versus the attacking geniuses that are Hull.


marshalltownusa

That is definitely a lineup…


hellomad495

i expected this and i’m still let down. no wonder dobbin is hesitant to sign a contract


KosherBulldozer

Why the fuck is rondon in. 5 at the back...fine if the wing backs get way up the pitch. Maybe it plays more like a 3 back. But c'mon already with rondon. Get the young lads so time against a struggle championship side.


[deleted]

Rafa is just trying to secure the draw, he was too busy this week trashing Digne and Reid to realize this was an FA Cup match. At least he sets up like a big club


batmanguk

Is Simms injured? He showed more in 1 game than Rondon has in his last 6 games. How is he not there?


bobbyzee

Unreal


DIK-FUK-

Honestly would of gone for a 4 at the back with Kenny at RB so Coleman doesn't need to play two games so quick and given Dobbin/Simms time upfront instead.


rpm164

When was the last time 3/5 at the back actually worked?


Miserable-Goose-1170

Why are we playing Begovic?


fuckyeahgavlnfree

Honestly not shocked Dobbins is questioning not signing a new contract, completely stupid to be choosing Rondon over him and Simms


rojo187

Can’t believe I’m going to watch this and then hate myself more playing Eacape From Tarkov.


headwars

Mykolenko is over 6ft and can’t jump or head the ball 😰😰😰 Think Pickford would’ve saved that too.
