When was the last time we had an Important game in late Jan

Seasons usually over by now

 

[the_toffees_bosnia]

We need to give freedom to James to do what ever he wants to do with ball

 

[Barnfred 55]

Reckon it's:

Pickford
Holgate Mina Keane Godfrey
Rodriguez Gomes Davies Digne
Richy DCL

Richy on the right and James as a number 10. 4411

 

[Milk]

Is that the first game with Digne as captain? If not, what’s his record?

 

[Hickson9]

A mix of Keane, Mina, Holgate, Godfrey, Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin in the box with James and Digne on the set pieces.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Biggest game of the season this...make NO bones about it.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

it is amazing that we can list who is playing but we are all left guessing as to the shape. Its a testament to the flexibility of the players.

And one where it's not the end of the world of it goes wrong too. Good times.

 

[Marius57]

That's the team I would have picked. Glad he has kept the defence right and not forced coleman back in.

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

I’m thinking Godfrey left back Digne left mid Richarlison right mid.

Had’t really thought of that as an option but assume you’d be playing James central behind DCL. That might actually be decent with the players on the pitch. Would prefer that than a 3 at the back or Ritchie up from with DCL, it’s a bit more solid.

 

[DOMNOLAN]

I'm absolutely purring at Sigurdsson not being in that lineup

 

[Efcjake]

Rob it with a James corner to anybody 1-0.

Sit back and think about Crosby pasta and a nice bottle of Echo Falls until the final whistle.

 

[Zatara]

it is amazing that we can list who is playing but we are all left guessing as to the shape. Its a testament to the flexibility of the players.

Also of course he can adjust mid game.

Something he mentioned that he wants from the players...multiple positions.

 

[Zezti]

Big game but its equally important to get through without any injuries. We'll soon be full strength again and that'll be huge.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

I sincerely hope that’s James as a 10 rather than a winger in a 4-4-2. I trust Carlo after his Wolves antics, though.

COYB!
