Match Thread Everton v Spurs. 3rd Jan at 1600.

Robles is not used to it. Asking him now to do so would disrupt his tempo and preparation.

I prefer Robles fresh in goal for this SF.

Yeah a goalie asked to play in goal i bet he would be startled

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Do you really need me to quantify? Ok, Kone offers nothing in support of our LEFT BACK (regardless of whom that may be). And if he plays up front, then we have no left winger. Fantastic tactics.

Mirallas and Deulofue offer no protection to our fullbacks, at least Kone offers some if he plays out there. His link up play in the final 3rd is also better than Mirallas with an overlapping fullback.

Lennon on the left couldn't help? Cleverly who linked up with Baines pretty well at the beginning of the year?

Yep, messed that up, but cleverly played well on the left

 

[Boss_Blue]

An threadban this lad here pls @GrandOldTeam, playing the ref. And me too, I have just played the ref.

LOL like I will be back in this thread again once the match has started anyway x

Has Lennon ever played on the left?

Disrupt his tempo and preparation is that meant to be a joke, so say he starts Wednesday does he get rested for next Saturday.

If I'm being honest I hate the line up.

But that usually means we do ok.

 

[daz4matty]

OK M8.

Glad you're in full fume well before kickoff.

You may be happy we are going backwards with the spineless clown in charge.
I care about my team though and by his team selection yet again he is showing what a clown he is

Aye, that's my thinking. Every time I flip out at a teamsheet we win. Just not airing my grievances here,

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Nais? T Clevs?

No Geads either.

 

[riddick]

Has Lennon ever played on the left?

Yes, often for spurs

 

[Boss_Blue]

And on that note inabit lids and come on you sexy blue barstewards...

 

[LinekersLegs]

Feels dangerous to me playing Clev. Almost like he hasn't learned from McCarthy getting reinjured.

Aye, worries me as well given that Barry isn't very fresh either so Cleverley will be forced to run hard to cover for him given the Spurs energy.

If they both had to play would have preferred it in midfield three with either Besic or Gibson included.

 

[mkrudden]

Just had to nip on here before the game to see the fumes.

My favourite so far is "I've lost all faith now", can't remember who by.

Hope we smash them and you all look ridiculous for judging the manager on team selection BEFORE the game has started.

I would argue that Mirallas covers his fullback better than what Kone does.

But Kone's hold up (given Spurs's pressing game), link up with Lukaku and one eye on Wednesday are likely why he's be chosen today.

Stay dry mate, or at least hope the football and results keeps you warm x
