Match Thread Everton v Wolves - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[BlueToff]

Who would the fans rather see on the pitch?

Bernard, Iwobi, Gomes, Delph, Holgate, King? All of whom more likely to perform worse than the players starting?

Oh ffs. Stop with all this ‘what can he do though?’

it doesn’t wash

don’t play a system and midfield that got ripped to shreds by Sheff Utd? Don’t keep persisting with 3 at the back which includes Mina and Keane if we’re wanting to press high? Why not play Davies and see what it does in terms of pushing Allan and Doucoure further upfield?

I know the options are limited, but it’s just same old same old and it suggests nothing’s been learned.

And the thing is, even if they win, buoyed on by the fans, we know this system and way of playing isn’t going to be a way forward, because we’ve seen it not work time and time again, so again, it’s no forward planning, no sign of anything to come

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

I think this looks like a 0-0, no shortage of effort but neither team has the creativity. Sadly I'll miss the first hour as I have a zoom meeting with my boss!

 

[Vic Vinegar]

I just wanted to see a 4-3-3 like we had at the start of the season with Davies, Allan and Doucoure. I won’t be watching this.

I think hes done it for a reaction and, if results go our way europe is still on.

Having said that, what kind of reaction 'The Oaf' at the back will have is anyones guess now theres fans and some pressure...

 

[Terrarian]

Literal nothing game and people are fuming more than ever.

To be fair I think people haver every right to fume given whats gone on last game

 

[ToffeeTim]

I wanted wholesale changes, but the only player on the bench who I'd be happy to see start is Davies.

The squad is such a mess right now

 

[Verbal Kint]

Not watching tonight as I'm stuck at work and you know what not a bit bothered. The lineup looks tired, 5 at the back again at home, not for me.

Might turn the best performance of the season now with nothing on the line.

Tell your boss you are a bit tired.

 

[tsubaki]

hopefully at least two of that side are there so they can have a farewell from a crowd at GP

Coleman deserves one for what he's done

 

[Lloydystark]

James? no tom again? richy starting again? FFS

 

[Lloydystark]

why are sky showing spurs on both channels currently

 

[steven]

Never been less bothered about a game. James not playing..again...meh...

Ancelotti rips into the side and then more or less plays the same eleven...with the same back five...

I’d say Davies deserved to be in there...King should have a start...Bernard over Sigurdsson...

 

[chippy1722]

Carlo's scathing assessment of the squad after the game only to be followed by emplying generally the same squad and formation feels very Coleman-esque

He got it from his Big Sam tactics book, along with putting multiple defenders on when losing the game.

^ that.

If he doesn't get the reaction then the message is clear to him and Brands.

No James? That aside, I can see this being a win for the mighty Wolves. COYB, all the same though.
