He believes that "putting a team out that can win" is saying im putting a weakened team out, when the reality is he is probably putting a stronger team out than the first 2 games but his tried and failed favourites wont be playing.

[Goat]

Bergo
Dixo - Obey - Holgate - Young

Indy - Lindy
Keane - Maupay - Beto

….i never understand ‘playing his favourites’ tag. If his favourites are the ones who always start, then it’s Pickford, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Doucoure, Gueye, DCL, McNeil and Harrison. I suppose Young starts mostly over Coleman but Dyche can point to one of the best defensive units in the league last season.

Keane can’t be a ‘favourite’ if he’s hardly been selected for 12 months, even Godfrey was picked ahead of him. I’m sure he selects players he thinks can best get a result, probably important they earn his trust before they earn a place. We’d all make different choices.

Is anyone on here having trouble accessing the digital tickets for tonight's game?

Only the lucky ones being saved from having to go and watch.

 

[Tree13]

You can't say that and then put Holgate in the line up

I genuinely rate Holgate ahead of Keane. Albeit in the same way that I would, if forced to choose, elect to drink urine rather than eat excrement.

No way Mopey Maupay should be anywhere near this team!

but otherwise ok!

"Amazing to see people still willing to select Keane"

selects Holgate

If you've been watching Everton for the last five years and you think Keane is better than Holgate, then I don't think there's any way I can help you.

Holgate is bad. Absolutely. But is he worse than Keane? No - no he is not. Let's face it, they are the 4th and 5th choice senior CBs - at least they should be.

 

[Tree13]

Tarkowski doesn't look fully fit to me mate. No one wants to play Keane but he's still a better option than Holgate.

Fundamentally disagree re Keane being better than Holgate.

Fundamentally disagree re Keane being better than Holgate.

Either way it’s a very low bar
