Match Thread Everton v Luton Town - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[The Binman]

Really really have to win this one. In reality, Luton are one of the clubs going down. It’s a likely 3 points for our other relegation rivals when they get Luton at home. Can’t be wasting this chance.

Ah, have you met everton.... this is what we do

It’s the hope that kills us isn’t it?

Once Everton touches you, show me on the doll where Everton touched you….

Missed the cup game, and would love some of that two-person midfield action everyone is raving about. A trial run for two up front as there is no better opposition than Luton to test it out. 4-4-2 might cost us some rocky moments would rather see 3-4-1-2 and a teaser for what Danjuma is like given free reign.
UTT

What the f is this?
This wouldn't ge the same formation as yesterday because you have replaced a winger with a cm.

5 defenders, 3cms 1 wide player and 1 striker against a terrible side at home? Absolutely not

Rude. Especially considering that Doucourse hasn't played as a CM all year and is our top scorer. I meant that McNeil and Doucs can play behind the striker.

2-0


Pickford

Tarkowski Branthwaite
Patterson Mykolenko

Gueye

Onana Doucoure

McNeil Danjuma

Garner


Beto

Good plan, but will anyone notice the 12 players?

I imagine it’ll be the same side as Brentford other than DCL in for Beto. Can’t see Dyche dropping any of those midfield 4 and garner will be shifted wide again.

I’d like to see gana on the bench for this one though with Harrison or danjuma on the right.

Don't think he'll start Harrison yet but you never know. I hope he does. Not been that impressed with danjuma but great to have decent options

I think Harri is nailed on to start. Looked great against Villa and just played an hour. Certainly ok to play another hour here. Get your best players starting games.

Yeah I think danjuma is a player who will need to be managed carefully - haven’t got loads of options out wide but feel he could easily rock the boat if he’s not starting games.

 

[Kirkles]

4-5-1 Pickford / Patterson / Tarkowski / Branthwaite / Mykolenko / Gana / Onana / Garner / Harrison / Mcneil / DCL

Danjuma is over anxious at the moment to score rather than look for a pass.

but that's not how we played the other day? so just trying a random formation whilst we have a bit of momentum

 

[oglop44]

I know it's practically sacrilege but I'd opt to attack the Gwladys Street in the first half (assuming we win the toss ofc). First goal is so important in the Premier League now. We need to stop thinking about last minute equalisers and start thinking about blowing teams like Luton away early doors.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Heavy rain forecast for kick off. This makes it a little more of a lottery now.
