Match Thread Everton v Brentford. Preview, Match Report and MotM poll

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

I am more muted a draw would be immense for me. A win would be even better. We just can't get stretched and leak anything at the back.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Hahahahahahahahaha no

Delph cant play 3 games in 7 days, VDB is oot, Iwobi needs a rest, Davies just back from months out with a torn hammie.

Slomes it is if you want 3 in midfield.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Glad you said wink I plan another word starting with w ?? it'll be twice if we win

I’ll be having a two handed wink

Pickford
Coleman Holgate Keane Myko
Iwobi Allan Delph Richarlison
Gordon
DCL

 

[Dykovski200]

Need 3 in midfield for this game, I don’t want to see that 5 at the back slow-fest. We need to be on the front foot in this game and attack from the start, hopefully it being at home the fans will suck that ball into the net.

I've only just twigged that kick off has been changed from 2pm

 

[street end]

DCL upfront with Gordon/Richi on the wings? I like Gray, a good sub to bring on after a hour?

 

[PhilRegan]

I think they will really go for this and we will face a 90 min onslaught. Hopefully pickford remains on form.

 

[mccole]

After Watford, I think Gray and Gordon both looked leggy and out on their feet.

DCL needs to come back in and I'd bench Gray over Gordon for his sheer energy and favourism at Goodison.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Allan in with Delph and Doucoure or a slight change of formation due to Iwobi's superb form of late.

Van de Beek and Godfrey on the bench are good options to have.

Brentford have some dangerous counters and the quality of Eriksson is not to be ignored so an extra man in midfield might be used

In the cup game, we dominated with a 3 man midfield so I'd like to see more of the same:

Pickford
Coleman - Holgate - Keane - Mykolenko
Iwobi - Delph - Doucoure
Gordon - DCL - Richarlison

I do pray he sticks with Delph, sticking Alan in instead or even with Delph and we're just asking for trouble.
I mean With Alan out there just think how many times we're gonna have to sit there in absolute torture while Eriksson slowly places the ball and gets ready for his run up...

I'm already dreading it now !!!!!
