Nope.

Well it reverted to a back four in order to accommodate Coleman and Holgate was the casualty...that's what I meant. Apologies to @Connor . Not you, @Connor.

I was there Dave, I seen it. A Holgate - Jagielka - Mori back three.

McCarthy wing back too wasn't it? And he got dragged off after about half an hour at West Brom?

 

[davek]

Yeah, we Everton fans love nothing better than a player who strolls round the pitch doing f all for 90minutes.

Im surprised we idolised players like Cahill so much, so much wasted energy.

You idolised him. I idolise pure ability.

Actually we switched to a back 4 prior to Coleman coming back.

Ronny is tactically astute you see David, every game is different.

As I said the other day, 8 differing formations already this season.

Since when?

 

[Goat]

Ronny is that tactically astute that hes even played Coleman and Holgate this season.

The mans an utter God.

I like you Dave but I'm just here for the facts.

Correct. A short-lived experiment that.

Thats right David, have a pop at Timmy Cahill, see how you get on.

 

[davek]

Since when?

All my life. No room for yard dogs. Some are necessary on occasion, but you certainly dont build a team in their image. Everton play a different way. Always have and always will revert back to it in the end....even though we stray from that tradition under certain managers.

But you take the point about Holgate being shown the door once Coleman was passed fit? That was the main point.

Do you think thats cos Coleman is 1 of the best Wing backs in the league?

Or?

Well he's defo not the best FB in the league...him nor that other feller on the other flank. They are probably two of the worst defenders we've had for years.

I said Wing Backs, not full backs, defensively Coleman and Baines have always had a question mark, but offensively, you wont find a better pairing in the league.

I'm old fashioned. I expect defenders to be able to defend. First and foremost. If they cant then replace them.
