Match Thread Everton 2-0 Mansfield Town. Wed, 27 Aug 19:45

[SLAVEN BILIC]

Cannot wait to be back at the Dick tonight. I’ll have to wait until I’m back from the match though!!

Still haven’t had my tickets. I have gone through seat unique for village street. Still no tickets.

 

[Sona]

Picking tonight’s team depends on what we think Saturday’s team will be.

So going with that first, away to Wolves:

GK: Pickford
RB: O’Brien
LB: Garner
CB: Tarkowski
CB: Keane
CM: Gueye
CM: Dewsbury-Hall
AM: Ndiaye
RW: Dibling
LW: Grealish
ST: Barry

Meaning that there’ll be an element of rotation coupled with some out-of-necessity strength:

GK: Travers
RB: Coleman / Onyango
LB: Aznou
CB: Tarkowski
CB: Keane
DM: Iroegbunam
AM: Armstrong
AM: Alcaraz
RW: McNeil
LW: Chermiti
ST: Beto

At no point do I personally think that Chermiti is a left winger or that he could even do a job there, but it’s where he was brought into the team in pre-season and he’ll play almost as an inside forward with Aznou getting up to provide width outside him.

I reckon Moyes will give Chermiti 60 mins there, then move him to centre forward (Beto off, Dibling on to RW, McNeil to LW).

[welshtoffee]

Er... no we aren't. We're a highly cultured lot. Based on your 80s comment, I fully expect to see no perms or tasches on display in the home ends

CALM DOWN , CALM DOWN

[bullybeef]

Ah okay. As I say though, the Everton game is deffo on Sky Sports+ like most league cup games are.

Seen the pre-match interviews with Clough and a couple of their players...they're not expecting much; don't give them much. We could do with something new for BM, akin to the Icelandic national teams Viking clap or similar. I want these guys reaching for the bog roll in the tunnel. It's not going to emerge in one day but get on it.

SMASH!

 

[Tramps_mate]

I don't really want to say it, but unfortunately for Mansfield, we need to absolutely demolish them tonight. We don't want to scrape a 1-0 win or anything. We need a good 5-0 drubbing.
