Match Thread Everton v Bournemouth. 23 Sep at 1500

[Bungle]

Actually, I run a Last Man Standing competition through whatsapp with mates and we have had two competitions so far this season with 33 names each putting 10eu in each. A decent pot. After two weekends of both of them 23 went out and only 10 left.

We do it on Prem and La Liga together. Most seem to be going with City this weekend, but I am really tempted to go against my Koeman dislike and pick the mighty toffees....

Deadline at 4 today, but wish I could confirm whether Williams was playing before choosing.......

Don't do it

 

[Jamo Martinez]

I stopped reading at the word 'win'.

I would rather Everton won this match rather than draw or lose it.

I just hope he takes some notice of midweek and not just pick his favourites again.

Does he ever predict us to win?

No but he always predicts an RS win. They could put their youth team out against Real Madrid and he'd 'fancy them to win'.

 

[Ihaters]

I would play a back 5 with Keane, Jags and Williams at the back and at least 2 DM's.
The thinking being, all our players will be behind the ball and in our penalty area anyway... Well, except DCL, so they may as well belong there.

 

[Niapper]

Koeman will go

Martina Keane Williams Baines
Klaassen Schneiderlin Gana
Rooney DCL Sigurdsson

 

[mkrudden]

I'm fairly certain Kenny won't play.
Shame.

Make sure you instruct Schneiderlin to pick the ball up deep and have 3 centre-backs surround him who he can play directionless 3 yard passes to - there is no more pleasing sight that having 5 players behind the ball at all times.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

I have a feeling this is going to be more straightforward than many of us expect mainly due to Bournemouth not being good enough to exploit the weaknesses in our team.

2-0 DCL and Rooney.

...I don't know what to expect. Normally I would say we have a better team but I'm really not so sure. I'm sure we've got better players but not necessarily a better team.

I'm not sure what team shape, personnel and tactics RK will go with. I just don't have a scooby do.

 

[Bob Elstone]

Stick Lennon in for a bit of pace for once.

2-0 the Blues Sandro with a brace.
