Match Thread Everton 3-2 Spurs 2pm Sunday 19th

[ToffeeTim]

That bench shows exactly why signings are urgently needed. No reason to delay recruitment any longer.

Struggling to place Lindstrom and NDiaye if it is a back 3. Lindstrom as a wing back?

Pickford

O'Brien - Tarkowski - Branthwaite
Lindstrom ---------------------------Mykolenko
Mangala - Gana
Doucoure - NDiaye
Calvert-Lewin
​

Mangala douc a d gana across the middle. Ndiaye behind dcl

Let's hope that someone gave Dom a good pep talk to help his "confidence" issues like everyone says is the problem.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

I

If it is that, then I’d have put Patterson RWB and moved Lindstrom next to Ndiaye.

Have to get Doucs in though. He runs around don't you know?

 

[Wat Tyler]

Feels like this is another manager who doesn't fancy Patterson...

Patterson is this season’s player that the longer they don’t play, the better they become in fans eyes. He really isn’t good enough, and defensively is absolutely terrible.

And also how badly we are missing the likes of Tim, Garner and McNeil. Not that I'm saying they're world beaters but in our state we need them back ASAP. Hopefully not far away for a couple of them. (Of course not far away in Everton terms means still 2 months to go)

 

[Street end man]

I can see his thinking here but i'd have liked to have seen Doucoure benched with Harrison on the left in his preferred position. Baffles me how he's played right wing for us for so long being a left footer.

 

[T Bone]

Harrsion and young.

These have got 10 players out injured apparently.

Wouldn't think so with that forward line.

they reluctantly have to start Richarlison. Our best player.

If not a back 3 …Has O Brian ever played right back ?

 

[Ufotone]

Get stuck in lads!

Bench! You mean starting line.
No reason not to play Armstrong and Sherif

 

[Furey1878]

Not opposed to a back 3, but why mess Lindstrom around by playing him as a wing back?

 

[Mr PEN86]

Hope the forum isn't a therapy session again. They have a lot of injuries. Change of shape today so hopefully more attacking intent. Come on boys

Yeah I've never gotten why we persist with Harrison on the right. He's a left winger, he's played there for years at Leeds and, yet, we punt him on the right constantly. Push Ndiye into the middle, bench Doucoure, Harrison on left.

Ben White was always a CB before he went to Arsenal, same as Gvardiol at City....

Joleon Lescott was a CB and Moyes played him LB

Just Saying....
