Bloody nora. It hasnt kicked off yet

 

[COYBL25]

Just heard the team news and nearly pulled over in the car and done a u turn back home"! Awful selection, rushing back Seamus, starting with Niasse who should only ever come off the bench and as for Tom Davies who has been poor for months .... really disappointed!!!!

Do yourself a favour mate, go home

 

[Mozza1987]

Watch Coleman get injured tonight. Way to early to be back in the side

Leicester City manager Claude Puel on Everton: "They have spent £200m in the last 12 months on fantastic players with quality, and we know this team is dangerous with a lot of quality.

Sounds like something foxy"peace" would say.

Do these blues.

Wait, wasn't the Bisto Kid saying just the other week that Rooney and Sigurdsson can't play in the same team? So why is he shoe-horning Gylfi into left mid again? Tosun's confidence destroyed after just two starts, Keane going to get pummeled by Vardy, Seamus back too soon when JJK has been doing ok, certainly better than the oaf on t'other side of the pitch who does need replacing, no Lookman or Vlasic yet again. I despair, I really do.

4-5-1 again. Imagine my shock.

Do you need to sit down for a minute mate? Fainting can be dangerous.

 

[Swartzy]

Nice to see allardyce going out his way to help tosun settle and build his confidence, how many times we changed our cb pairing now this season, must b new record by now. As much as I want to sound positive before a game kicks off, anybody looking for attempts on target tonight will prob b better off counting back passes.

So iv tried to defend sam but tonight has just done me.

You pstart coleman after one under 23 game

I'm guessing Holgate is injured? Holgate and Williams started so well together, and been replaced by two centre half's that i strangely really rate but have been awful this season.

Matina is still at left back

Rooney and Sigurdsson don't work together, why talk about we need more pace in the side then play these two.

And the final nail in the coffin, the guy you spend 20million plus on has been replaced by Niasse, possibly one of the worse forwards i'v ever seen

A complete lack of a settled side again. How many centre back combinations have we fielded this season?

 

[Boss_Rarkley]

If we lose tonight he has to go.

 

[COYBL25]

YES just what i wanted to see again the good old "Everton" formation, nothing quite like playing the same way over and over again

lolI`m using that as my avatar - thanks x

Have faith in Fat Sam. He knows what he is doing. We just dont. Method in his madness. 3 points tonight

There’s 4 No’s there.

 

[evertonarntwe]

What an absolute melt this feller is.

Colemans first game back against arguably the leagues fastest striker! Better hope yes stretched before hand

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

I actually don't mind the line-up. My only question marks is around Martina at LB, but there isn't really any other viable option currently with Baines injured, and Siggy playing on the left when he is better behind the striker. Apart from that - not a bad side. And there is no two defensive midfielders (that's a good thing!!).

 

[Eggs]

Surely Coleman can't last 90 minutes against Gray and Albrighton on his first game back?

So at some point Kenny will need to come on so we're effectively starting the game with 2 available substitutions.

..it is strange but he brought Bolasie back in a hurry. It might be a reflection of what he thinks of other players in the squad.
