Match Thread Everton v Tottenham Hotspur - Team Prediction, Match Report and MotM Poll

[maccavennie]

That's good shout, but with 5 defenders, I'm wary of it working with Young at rw...

I think it was quite similar to against Fulham where Young was like a rw in the main and Godfrey right back and at times tucking in as a 3rd centre half.

No youth team reserves for midfield - Dyche is becoming a predictable dinosaur ..... It will be a close game today we have to score - COYB - HOOF

 

[navidson]

Might as well just start considering Patterson as a backup RW

He was always going to be most effective as an attaching FB - if we are never going to play in that way we need to start viewing him as an attacking player rather than a defensive one

 

[Old Blue 2]

A point would be amazing.

I still believe an average of a point a game from now to the end of the season would be sufficient for us to stay up, even with the 10 point deduction. Yeah, we'll lose some games, but I believe we can achieve it. 16 games to go. 4 wins, 4 draws - anything better is a bonus...

There's no creativity in the midfield. This will be a tough watch.

Hasn't been any creativity in midfield since Rodriguez left - we're used to it by now

Nice early kickoff to get the misery out the way

I suspect he'll come on for Ashley Young for the last 20 minutes.

 

[navidson]

Struggling to understand how we have more right-backs at the club than centre midfielders

….Romero evs to commit a foul with BFSB.
