Match Thread Everton v Notts Forest. Sun Dec 29th. 3pm

[Neiler]

Need to be very clever today, these are a counter attacking team and are going to give us the ball.

We need to be very wise to the break down, if they don't score on the counter, they will lump it into Wood and play the %.

DCL on his way out I presume?

100% this and I have stated it many times. If he was allowed to focus on his offensive game rather than doubling up at the back all game we may see better figures from him. Same as Doucs, McNeil and now Ndiaye to an extent

I agree. Also looking at the bench there is not much I would argue about in the starting XI. The tactics is another matter but even then you can’t make a silk purse from a sows ear

 

[Mr PEN86]

N'Diaye - DCL - Broja was the play

 

[Joey66]

Filling in when required, we still need LB cover in - in Jan.

Another player Bradthwaite has to cover for - he is poor never overlaps can't cross a ball when he does - so not one overlapping full back in our team again !

cant be having the 'just throw the random right back at right wing' shouts proper dad in the pub talk that

We just have an option now. Will see him on 75 mins I guess

What they are doing isn't sustainable statistically, their XG to conversion indicates they are either the best finishers in the league or have had a lot of luck in games.

They are very, very good defensively mind, which gives you a chance of 1-0, so that adds to it.

Would expect our CBs to handle wood and Mykolenko to sort Elanga.

A lot depends on Ndiaye and Broja.

@COYBL25 please

Taking a wild guess at “ Pea Brained “ but who knows !

 

[Joey66]

N'Diaye - DCL - Broja was the playwe have Doucs who does very little seldom substituted ...

we have Doucs who breathing out of his arso after 30 minutes....

 

[Librarian]

I’m ok with that team. We will work hard and Harrison fits that mould. I think we will win today with that team

Young will need help

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Young will need help

He will but to be fair to Young he hasn’t been terrible this season … but let’s hope it is his last

 

[TyphooToffee]

BROJA

HARRISON

He's not on the bench

Edit... Nope there he is. Missed him

 

[Azza]

About time he dropped DCL.
