So what's everyone's team for next week then? My concern, and I have quite a few.
1. Terrible form of late, the defence is as shaky as ever, - we need to think about Branthwaite and putting Holgate back into the side as I am not really comfortable with Mina/Keane - Coleman is getting injured it seems on a Yerry Mina basis and looks to be on his last legs and we should be looking to get players to replace him on the long term
2. The midfield. For me this is the killer - its just not good enough we do not have enough attacking impetus between say the midfield and the penalty box - what I am seeing is too much sideways, backward passes particularly when Gomez, Delph and Sigs is in the side. Having James itself is not good enough which is my next point. Bernard, Gomez, Delph, Iwobi and Sigs are just not good enough period. They dont really care about wearing that blue Jersey do they.. Coleman has been fantastic and totally gets what it means to play every week for the side - you wont catch him twittering nonsense playing fortnite and wearing Beats headphones, he just gets on with it. I was at FF and the facilities are top notch, It pi$$es me off to see these players putting in half arsed attempts when they should be doing so much better, they have no excuses.
3. James - he is pretty woeful since the injury Vs RS, Period. Non descript for Columbia the other night and he has another game Tuesday I believe so he will be well and truly shattered, I think he needs a few weeks rest IMO. Great player but he needs a break.
4. Attacking, for me this is not too much of a problem, Everton have bigger worries with the Pickford, Midfield, Erratic defence tbh. Richarlison will be the first name on the sheet Sunday and hopefully he will hit the ground running. DCL has improved 100% since a few years ago so huge credit to him.
Everton should win against Fulham but I am supporting them to long to know its never plane sailing with Everton -- is it
