The Defence

Would rather have Besic back there than Holgate or Williams.

It's where he has played all his career prior to that marking job on Messi

 

[TyphooToffee]

What about Vermaelen?

anything that keeps Williams out is good.

this should be the primary objective, the fat kopite should be last choice in any list

Mr. Sharkey 1001, don't really care much for Besic. But your photo of Alex Youngs 1963 header against Bill Brown still gives me
'shivers down the backbone'. Please post more often. Sometimes, mainly in the close season I'll drive or walk right round
Goodison slowly, just to take in that wonderful air, I can guarantee that I'll have a tear in my eye with some of the marvellous
memories. Wrong thread again, sorry.

Still makes me laugh.

He's absolutely ripped to be fair to the clown. He's probably under 5% body fat.

Holgate Keane Jags Baines
​

I'd prefer to see that for now, if I'm being totally honest. Jags is going to need phasing out, obviously, but he's a damn sight better than Ashley Williams who I think is finished personally. Kenny should rightly get chances and be playing ahead of Martina in general, but for now it should only be fairly sporadically with Holgate taking up the mantle of first choice RB until Coleman returns.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I'm getting to the point now where if we don't try Holgate with Keane I'm warming to the idea of Schneiderlin or McCarthy playing centre half over Williams.

Or, dare I say, Besic?

 

[gonetomorrow]

Holgate's not a CB. He's a right back if anything.

Holgate's not a CB. He's a right back if anything.

Literally the opposite way round.

He's a centre half and not a natural full back.

 

[Nymzee]

Or, dare I say, Besic?

Rather the other two since they're taller and more disciplined.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Yes, all day long. It'll never happen, though.

Fat Head likes to have the oldest possible starting Xl out there.

 

[.....!]

How many people want to see this defence every game now (at least until Coleman is fit or the Jan window);

Kenny Holgate Keane Baines
​

If not, then how should we line up?

Jags instead of Holgate for the time being and Williams fired out of a cannon into a wall. For ever.

Still needs to do more leaning and less bulking, he moves like an aircraft carrier

When I'm 33 if I'm in that shape I'd be absolutely thrilled.

I'd never wear a t - shirt. I'd walk round topless all day.
