Match Thread Everton 1-1 Arsenal. Sat April 5th. 12.30pm

[YoboCopter]

Harrison is 1000/1 to complete a pass to a blue shirt.

More chance of a crocodile winning the national today

…and hopefully that will be the case now Moyes is running transfers but until then Doucoure plays because he makes us more difficult to beat. Maybe Moyes isn’t convinced enough to trigger the Alcaraz deal. Just hope Ndiaye doesn’t have that scaffolding on his knee.

Quite happy with a bit of team selection fume ahead of a game.

Good points. That said, when I do moan about Doucoure, he ends up slotting the first goal so here’s hoping.

We do need to transition to a team that is built around quality as we keep getting skilful players like Illy and Alcaraz plus other players who struggle alongside clobbers like Harrison and Keane and we shift them on. The whole squad needs a lift up in quality so it’s through the line and has a proper football philosophy which we are years off.

We can’t live off backs to the wall “hard to beat” tactics forever and there’s no excuse going forwards with all the hype about new stadium and new owners

3-5-2? Or Patto at left back??

Patterson left back, he's played there before at Rangers

 

[ste d' indica]

Train from New Street was absolutely ridiculous, great planning all involved.

 

[blue to the bone]

I'm going to guess Patterson rb and Jake left back.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Mate it’ll just be Patterson at left back.

Urgh, I have bad memories of a young Seamus Coleman being deployed at left back against Sporting (I think) and us getting a right bumming. Not all Seamus's fault, but he got caught a lot.

 

[Marcus Kendall]

I'm going to guess Patterson rb and Jake left back.

Wrong way round

….pretty much agree with that.

Can’t Wait to Watch doucure run without any End product… whata beautiful day to be Everton fan

 

[ForeverEverton]

No wonder we can`t have any sort of ball retention at the top end of the pitch with Doucoure, Harrison and Beto starting every week. Even going forward they are very very poor.

With what is available now I would be going with Broja, Alcaraz and NDaitye in behind Chermiti.... I don`t think we will go down so what would be the harm?

….Benfica’s Angel de Maria, I was at that one. Mind you, I think Hibbert was CB.

There we go

 

[dublinbluenose]

That's 3 at the back I think. Patterson and Harrison as WB.

I'm going to guess Patterson rb and Jake left back.

…could be 3 CBs, I think Saka tends to play on the right, might be down to best match-up.
