Match Thread Ipswich Town 0-2 Everton - Saturday 19th October - 15:00

Love the way the players who dont play become really good players on here by not playing. Just today Tim Obrien Dixon Lindstrom. Laughable.

Bored of this tired cliched argument for continually picking totally garbage players.

I’m not having they are any worse than some of the absolute dross we get to witness every week with the like of young, Keane, Harrison etc.

For who mate? The Two just back from injury or the inexperienced kid who nobody knows is any good?

Coleman is the obvious one, we know he hates Patterson for some bizarre reason.

Tim was one of our best players over the first 4 games so it’s hardly surprising people think he should be playing. (Yes he is currently injured but he wasn’t over the last few games)

Both are back off injuries. Young isnt. Quite logical really.

 

[PeregrineT]

Oh good, Keane and Doucoure so it's now a guarantee we won't win. In one of our easiest fixtures of the season.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Let’s hope Young doesn’t let us down today due to fatigue resulting in a penalty, goal conceding free kick or being sent off. All of which have been a regular feature of his Everton career and being absent of late are thus due.

Have missed something has Lindstrom become Messi overnight

 

[MJA]

Tim was one of our best players over the first 4 games so it’s hardly surprising people think he should be playing.

Before he came here everyone thought he was a PSR fiddle and wouldnt kick a ball. Fast forward to a couple of good games and hes suddenly spoken about like hes Pirlo. Its ridiculous.

 

[Victus]

Can understand Jarrad not playing though, rather not risk him and let him come back when he can stay fit for the rest of the season.

 

[Rodebaard]

Doucoure and Gana in the middle. My eyes. Clinging on to a 0-0 before we even start

 

[MJA]

Let’s hope Young doesn’t let us down today due to fatigue resulting in a penalty, goal conceding free kick or being sent off. All of which have been a regular feature of his Everton career and being absent of late are thus due.

To be honest there are probably plenty who are waiting for exactly that to happen so they can rant and rave and be right.

Anyone figure out the average age of the team today?

 

[knowing your history]

I’m Ipswich born and bred so know quote a bit about these players. Davis is worshipped by the Ipswich fans but I can honestly tell you he’s utter turd. There’s more to the game in his position than getting forward, and putting in a good delivery. You actually have to be able to defend and he simply can’t. He has zero positional awareness, gets stuck high up the pitch when they lose the ball and shows no urgency to get back and defend, and when he does occasionally get in to a defensive position, he’s powderpuff. Can’t tackle to save his life.

Having said that, he’ll be up against Harrison so will probably have one of his easier afternoons! This is the perfect game for Lindstrom IMO. He’d cause Davis all sorts of problems down that side. We need to target him at every opportunity, move everything down our right hand side and we’ll get some joy 100%.

Lindstrom not even on the bench which is very weak if losing.

Mangala being actually dropped for Gana is bizarre as I'd have played the two together. Looks like we're back to Doucs being shoehorned back to start in any position.
