We don't just need forwards we need a playmaker as has been mentioned. Unless Onana is going to be pushing on.
They dont neccesarily have to be world class just the right players to suit the system.
Liverpool have done it with Henderson , Milner , Keita & Fabinho nowhere near world class. Then take ours ,Gomes ,Davies ,Doucoure & Allan we are a million miles away.
Change to Onana ,Gana , maybe adding Gilmour , Gibbs White even Harry Winks and we could think about that sysyem.
So its a back 3 or 5 until those players are in place.
But again, they have 2 actual CM's and don't get bullied. We can also play with attackers who drop back to occupy the opposition defensive mid or tuck inside, McNeil came inside a lot at the weekend.
We got bullied because neither Doucoure or Iwobi are strong in the middle.

Tbf, I think if you look closer, Frank hasn't flip flopped quite as much as your suggesting, he had been totally destroyed with injuries so had to try and find systems which made us harder to beat with absolute drivel on the pitch.
I will however agree if we continue to play 5 at the back with a new snappier squad....Frank should get a clean sheet this season ...starting in 2 weeks time.

I think some of that is because their front 3 press properly and with intelligence, so lots of the passes into the midfield area are rushed and telegraphed.
We are poor at pressing (plenty effort but we don’t spot when and where to funnel the ball/opposition). How many times did Richy pressure a defender into a slightly dodgy blind pass, then realise no one had anticipated it, cue him throwing his arms up.
We are also very poor at beating the press. If we don’t have a focal point striker as an out ball by Brentford, we will not get past the edge of our box in the first half.
It’s a bit whack a mole at the moment. Problems in many areas of the pitch are actually due to problems elsewhere, so replacing one player with a better player makes precious little difference. Hence why after 3 games all managers end up being “pragmatic”
I'll always take one if it's on offer, mate.
Another day, another post saying "another week and no striker"
Think we all could do with a hug, a collective Blue Hug that fills us with Everton Related Joy...........
not you @davek ...........................
Only joking Dave, I would gladly hug any fella Blue in need of a Hug! ? ?
Today is today and tomorrow is tomorrow and the day after is Saturday which means that's in 2 days.
Next week is next week, that'll come and go and then we'll be into the following week and I'll be another week older and had far too many cups of teas and spent far too long looking at YT links of players we ain't going to sign.
Give me Chris Wood for 6m and be done with it Everton you shower of hourly depressing gang of horrible bellends except for Gordon as his highlights in his hair mesmerise me and make me spend a large part of my day thinking was that haircut done as a joke or is it genuinely the style/colour he wanted

Maybe our recruitment team don't think we actually need a striker?
Which is terrifying

Take the pee i don't care it's still a relevant point when we are set to go in with the same attack only minus Alli this weekend. Feel free to mock me as we throw away points. It's complete madness. If we go down then this will be why.

I think you are doing us down about West Ham and Newcastles overall squad against ours.
You are putting Palace good season down to just Gallagher? Who may I add wont fit at Everton in a 2 man midfield, he is more of an 8 in a 3 or a 10 which we don`t play with.
Wolves have played 5 at the back since the season before they were promoted to the Premier League, Lage is now binning it off because he can see how limited it is.
Chelsea did win 1 PL with 5 at the back, the only time in the history of the top division in England this has been done. That was back in 2017, who was the poster that wouldn`t accept looking back at the season before last and you are looking back 5 years.
You missed my point, we were a top half team before last season so why not again? We can be but play a system which is more suitable....

It will all happen with forwards on deadline day and it's way too late. It reeks of Bill Kenwright
