Match Thread Everton v Burnley KO 14:15 Sunday 1 October

[Tony1985]

Everton will play F@@@@@G 442

 

[COYBL25]

Williams and Martina wouldn't make the Burnley team, staggers me they're in ours.

Well in for continuing to be an absolute knobhead Ronald.

One has the positional sense of an eight year old and the other can't move quickly or pass the ball.

Imagine what Pickford thought when he saw the team sheet lol

 

[Axlswhk]

Should have been
Niasse n DCL up front

Lookman n vlasic on both wings

Siggy attacking midfield

Gana defensive midfield

Baines n Martina as conservative wing backs as we have natural winger to provide width.

Best players playing in their best position.

..tbh, I'm not overly bothered who plays as I'm more interested in where they play. If Niasse starts he has to play off DCL so he can exploit the space behind. My concern continues to be playing Sigurdsson on the left and Vlasic on the right when I think they are both more effective centrally.

Let's see how it plays out, good luck Blues.

Agree with DCL being the central striker if formation goes that way. Much better target man and can bring Niasse into the game

Worried that he is actually gonna play Niasse on the wing myself

Talk about the RS and the Barcodes before their game, half hour to go till we kick off and it's all about the Sh*te, gets right on my tits.

 

[Kenshin]

There is the idea koeman is playing a loose formation and the front players will all change throughout the game rather than sticking a striker on the wing all game.

 

[Mickey]

I'd also have Klassen or Davies in ahead of Schniderpig. No need for 2DM's.

 

[Timak]

Gone from Lukaku/Barkley/Deulofeu to Niasse/DCL after spending £220m.

Same here mate.

 

[when i score we riot]

This lineup is exciting. Of course Koeman hasn't found his team yet, the initial first XI hasn't deserved their spots! Niasse to bag one here, lads

 

[Zatara]

TBH I'm not sure either Kenny or Holgate would have been an ideal pick for today, they are quite a strong aerial threat and I'd rather Williams challenging in the air than Holgate, Martina just had a bit more experience, also both did play Thursday. So right decision for me there. But Davies instead of Schneiderlin would have been a much better choice. But all in all the line up does look like it could produce goals, let's hope so.

Kenny is decent in the air...dropped for Martina who cant head a ball or tackle

Barkley is injured and Deulofeu had a buyout clause lol and was crap anyway.

 

[Bungle]

WHat minute do we make a defensive mistake? I say 20 minutes.

2 minutes, ball gets played around from kick off, finds its way to Martina at right back who looks confused about what the spherical item approaching is, waves a leg at it sending it to Williams, he two foot tackles a patch of grass 6ft from the ball and Burnley are in GOL GOL GOL to Stephen Ward.

*cries

 

[Zatara]

Should have been this

Pickford
Kenny Holgate Keane Baines
Davies Gana
Sigurdsson
Vlasic DCL Lookman
