Match Thread Barnsley vs. Everton - Wednesday 26th August - Capital One Cup Second Round - 19:45 KO

[Professor Toffee]

Besic needs to start and be tried out at CB since he played there for most of his career .

If he's not injured we need to find where he fits in our team, seems like an opportunity in a 1st team game

He's tiny and a guaranteed yellow or two per game.

Something like that tonight?

Can't risk players with our squad, especially Jags with Stones likely to go.

Risk them for what? trying to finish 7th?

Besic is 5'10. Mascherano is 5'8 and Cannavaro was 5'9

Cheers for the suggestion Magic BFC - Unfortunately I have already spoken to the Barnsley ticket office and they are unable to help me.

Reading that Everton fans can pre order tickets and pick them up at the ground, or am I reading it wrong

I imagine we will see wholesale changes tonight. I am intrigued to see if John Stones will be included in the squad, that's if he hasn't travelled to London to have talks etc with Chelsea. Backing a Tom Cleverley goal against Barnsley and one from Deulofeu. Could be a tricky night though,

 

[DualityNSNO]

Besic is 5'10. Mascherano is 5'8 and Cannavaro was 5'9

Both are stronger than him though. And neither played in England tbh.

Also Mascherano is obviously more suited to the defensive mid, as he only started being used as a CB frequently in Barca, in a time of need.

I'm not saying I don't want to try him there, but it will take about 1 game until a grock striker jumps over him and people slag him off and want his head.

 

[Barnsley Blue]

start him there tonight, think Sam Winnall who will probably be barnsleys lone striker is only slightly taller so see how he does.

COYB.

Decent draw for us, who were you hoping for then?

Sky reckon Stones ain't starting tonight but not sure if he'll be in the squad or not. If he's not on the bench it's fair to say he's deffo off.
