I agree. No way we can drop Simms or Wright after last season and EMC has to be in given how much we spent on him. Unless we play four up front Sakamoto is benched in my view.

It would be insanity to drop Sakamoto, breaking his pairing with MVE and losing his contribution to the team.
Sakamoto and probably EMC may be especially important in away games because they can hold up the ball and make themselves available with tenacity. Something Wright lacks.
All a bit academic anyway because Wright can't be a match fit starter at this point.
So EMC should get his chance and he's earned it.

The only main thing that sets them apart in my eyes is probably the difference in how they hold themselves I think Haji is a lot more laid back and chilled whereas EMC has a bit of tenacity and power, they’re both similar in many ways but different in others its football no player is the same but to have 2 quality players in that position is a very good problem for selection to have

There's a lot of sentiment based opinions being posted on here .
Robins will rotate fully across the front 3 all season depending on form and fitness

Yes and Robins will still have his best team that he will fall back on. The big benefit of having a big team is being able to rotate player in game.

Last season, the issue was more the amount of minutes rather than the number of games we played yesterday. Sakamoto played nearly every minute in every game leading up to his injury.

Eccles and Sheaf were ran into the ground and Simms and Wright too.
Fans will undoubtedly question team selection a lot this season when certain players are rested but we have to utilise the squad if we are to push on

It amuses me how many people are getting their panties in a twist about who's going to be starting and who's going to be benched but the way I see it is it doesn't matter who starts or who is benched, this is the first time in a very long time where we have a really strong first XI and a strong benched which I'm sure over the years we'd all would of loved and hopefully it will encourage more subs this season so we don't fall flat in games anymore.

Felt more confident in dovin even though he didn't have much to do, always thought Collins persona was always off and never filled me with confidence so it's nice to hopefully feel abit more confident with a hopefully good keeper.

Definitely think this season will be thomas and binks as our main two centre backs rather than kitch, hopefully now binks is our player Robins will hopefully use him more as I personally think he's more tidy than kitch.

Love simms and all but the only critical thing about him is his first touch, always looks so rigid and clumsy at times but hopefully gets up and firing starting at stoke.

Top scorer and assister last with double Sakamoto’s tallies. A lot of fans aren’t ready to accept he’s not going to be one of our best players season.

Thing is with Tatsu you are guaranteed 100% work rate and a brilliant attitude, no ego and no stropping about. That’s gold for a team and for a squad and Robins loves that kind of character.

He’s going to be key for us this season, in a season where you are playing 50 odd games if doesn’t matter if he’s starting all of them, I’d bank on him having a massive impact for us and for his partnerships with MVE and Rudoni to be one of our most potent attacking weapons - there is no team in the championship that is going to relish dealing with the kind of interplay those three looked to be putting together last night.

Looking forward to werder bremen to show this wasn't a misleading performance

Hope we advance in Carling cup for once too. Fancy us to beat alot of the rotated prem sides for sure and possibly make quarters. And from there you never know.

Hasn’t been the Carling Cup for 12 years…understandable mistake as that’s when we last won a game in it

What a great game. It didn't "feel" like a pre-season friendly, did it? Probably one of the best pre-season games I've ever been to. I went to Stevenage last week and that was dull like most pre-seasons are, but last night...great stuff. Good atmosphere, good performance and nice to see the new fellas on our own turf. Rudoni and EMC are going to be some players for us.

I'm hoping we go on a good Milk Cup run this year. Shame we're not still in the Simod Cup. This team would walk it.

Unfairly lumped in with those journeymen managers of a decade ago (Pulis, Pardew, Allardyce, Bruce etc). Keeping Everton up the last 2 seasons with all the cr*p he's had to deal with is a great achievement.
If Robins was ever to leave, I would have him here.

I don't think I have ever heard Dyche put in that category

It's widely accepted the job he did at Burnley was near miraculous

Mourinho is a huge fan of him and the detail he puts into management

My mate was an Everton season ticket holder until this season. Dycheball's that bad he can't stomach it anymore and I'd dread having him here. We've been praised for the progress we've made and the way we've made it; it doesn't have to be a choice.

Yep. Your Hull's and Cardiff's midweek in bleak January are the real tests. Always have 0-0 or a sneaky 1-0 loss in them
