Match Thread Everton 0-1 Manchester United - Monday 23rd February 20:00

There are 5 central midfielders, 3 centre halves, one winger, and one striker in that starting 11.

It reminds me of some of Koemans unbalanced line ups with about 5 players wanting to play behind the striker

He reminds me of Walter Smiths team selections, but the difference is Smith didn't have much choice, Moyes has, sick to death of his unbalanced teams and this hard on he has for playing players out of position.

11 clubs since we last made it. That works out to a bit above one a season.

11 clubs in 30 years?

Edit: Since 2009?

So a lot less than one per season?

What a terrible lineup. 2 right backs and a midfielder at right back

 

[Clarky cat]

3 full backs on the bench, 1 left out of the squad altogether and none on the pitch…
3 wide players on the bench, a 19 year old centre midfielder playing wide…
One of your 2 best midfielders at full back…
Best centre back at full back…
One of your 2 best midfielders nearest the striker…

From a squad with just one starting wide player unavailable and one attacking midfielder who would have been lucky to get 5 mins at the end dropped/injured…

Is this the best use of a squad? Time will tell but it doesn’t half look confused and points towards a manager who needs less squad options, not more.

If we were any good at set pieces I wouldn’t mind that team, I just don’t see how we’re scoring from open play..

Golden Graham.
Cinammon Graham.
Not even benched Graham.

Since 2016 mate. We lost the semi to United in 2016.

He isn't thinking about that he is thinking how can we stop Utd

 

[UTFT78]

The rest of the team is so mad I forgot to even be annoyed by this

 

[Neiler]

Mykos days look numbered.

 

[OlDirtyBluenose]

Armstrong getting another start is a positive.

Everything else to do with that line up, not so much.

 

[Darth Beard Face]

“And it’s Square Pegs, Round Holessss, Square Pegs, Round Holes FC … we’re by far the most unbalanced team, the world has ever seen” … I want to be positive but we dont make it easy … 3CBs and a CM across the back while we have 3 FBs on the bench.

 

[RomanReigns]

If you know me then you will know that I am a big fan of playing garner at right back

 

[Bilko]

Baffled.....but you never know, coyb's

The way he's throwing it. Does he think it's a cup game?
