Match Thread Everton v Bournemouth - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[MichaelEFC96]

Wing backs not such bad idea with Gueye's ability to cover ground. Might have to play Onana though as I think he has more in the legs than Garner.

So many problems. Who plays striker and what the hell we do at full backs.

Two clear options.

Either stick to usual system with Holgate and Mykolenko (if fit) full backs.
Or
A third centre back comes in with Iwobi and Mcneill as wing backs.

I worry about both tbh but feel we need to get McNeil further up the pitch…so with a heavy heart I think Holgate at right back is the way to go…and even during the process of writing this sentence I have already changed my mind and think Holgate will be our undoing.

Up front I think he will go with grey…but I have a bad feeling maupay plays. Either way it weakens us massively with no dcl, I hope we can replicate the type of performance we put in without DCL against Brentford.

If Mykolenko is out then we have no option but to play a back 3.

I would still play a back 3 even if Mykolenko is fit, but it's a tougher decision if he's available.

You know it'll be Keane rb.

no surprises there in the press conference

Bournemouth have pace up front.

Sadly Holgate is the only real option for RB.

I think we will win.

A similar performance and intensity we saw in Dyche’s first game v Arsenal would see us through.

…..they have quality in wide attacking positions so wing backs could really play to their strengths, especially if Keane is one of 3 CBs as he has to have a conventional RB alongside him.

Billing is a player I’ve always liked. He carries threat & it’s disappointing he’ll be back for this game.

Get nervous thinking about it. Just have to get on with it now.

Just seen Dyche saying Onana:

No shocks regarding injuries maybe Godfrey.

Pickford
Holgate - Mina - Tarkowski - Mykolenko
Iwobi - Onana - Gueye - Doucoure - McNeil
Gray

Id have Garner over Onana, Or Garner RB over holgate possibly

Currently sweating on the fitness of Mykolenko.

What have I become?

…but Holgate is slow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him recover when the opposition go past him. Weird how some think he has pace. He’s also a huge liability giving away free kicks in dangerous positions.

Does that mean Billing is out or back for this?

He’s an ego footballer. He’s got nothing to prove he’s good enough footballer at this level.

I know, but he’s not as slow as Keane
