Cmon you Toffees, cmon you hammers and cmon you spurs, but mostly cmon you Toffees!

Few team leaks saying we're playing a back three today. Tarky Mina and Coady presumably. Hoping Myko can start so we can play him at LWB and we can push McNeil further forward

If true, I would imagine Mykolenko isn’t playing then.

 

[Joey66]

Hope so. But wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Maupay. Dyche hasn’t shown much faith in Gray

He made the equaliser v Wolves & do you know who floated a fantastic ball out to him to start the move....Holgate who was playing in midfield as sub .......

 

[Runub]

I’m reasonably calm at the moment. 15:30 when the team sheet is released is when the game starts for me. If Maupay is in the starting eleven my stress level will increase sharply

Kind of tough to read, but it Seamus notes from today's match program. We have missed this man since his injury. When he says relegation is not an option for this club I believe him. I just hope he has passed that belief onto the team. If he was out there and I don't see us losing today.

Setting off now and bricking it, see you all on the other side COYB, UTFT

Seeing this and Looking at Onana’a Instagram post which suggests he’s playing I reckon it’s going to be
Pickford
Iwobi
Tarkowski
Coady
Mina
McNeil
Gana
Garner
Onana
Doucoure
Gray/simms/mau… no I can’t bring myself to write it
Just don’t see him playing mykolenko if it’s a back 3/5

Please please please no Maupay we need to give ourselves a chance and not driven for 5hrs to see his name on team sheet

 

[jayden28]

Pretty calm at the moment bout the game maybe cus my mindset since last week is we going down and not expecting things go our way today.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Won’t lie. Planking it here in advance of this. Roll on 1830.

Fair shout. Really think Onana creates an inbalance in that midfield especially alongside Gana but we'll know in 45.

This is what it should be. Of the options up front, I think it should be Gray, but I know it should not be Maupay.

Back three is the only way to avoid players out of position so I think it’s the way to go. If Myko is fit I’d consider playing him LWB and freeing up McNeil to play off the striker in the 352, he looks like our best goalscoring option at the moment.
