When's Strickly starting?

After he signs I’m presuming!

Lucbesson said “ A draw would be Utopia “ and I wanted to reply “ At last some optimism” but no alphabet board was coming up to use it. iIt isn’t coming up on any of the other comments either when I’m trying to reply to them!

Well they put my reply on eventually and it seems to be working now.

Tim will school Onana.

It's Everton remember

 

[Dykovski200]

Dyche will park the bus, keep telling the players to lob it long at every opportunity and then hope for his usual nick one from a set piece tactics. Think we will nick one, 1-1.

With Doucs starting at 10, its like watching a dog with a football in the park.

How can N'Diaye lose his place after Motm performance and a standing ovation when he went off in our last game? if Dyche plans to park the bus (what a Dychism) we would be better off playing N'daye up front on his own frankly.

 

[knowing your history]

The usual write off at Villa Park, 3-1 defeat. O'Brien has to start and would expect Mangala in.

The Leicester away I think defines Dyche's future and how toxic it becomes at Goodison so I'm hoping for a decent performance and narrow defeat to take into that game at least.

 

[knowing your history]

I reckon he might go 3-5-2 for this, that's a way to get O'Brien in the team. Was a disaster when it was last trialled in Wolverhampton last xmas so would feel like a tombola selection but needs must. You could have N'diaye and DCL both upfront and also drop Keane and move Myko inside with McNeill as LWB.

I'd rather see something like that attempted to get in the new faces than the same old names dragging this club down and losing meekly.

Sadly, either solution would involve dyche making a tactical change decision which he seems totally incapable of either before or during a game. His motto is like doctors 'First, do no harm' exceptthats pretty much the end of it for him, nothing beyond that statement. Expect it will be another predictable line up and formation with the predictable result.

Oh can we have another international break
