Match Thread Everton v Sevilla

[Toffeemeister]

I do think Seville taking off Banega has weakened them.

Kenny is boss
Cuco would be much more useful as a Left midfield winger than Defensive winger/fullback

Maybe Cuco + Baines on the left could get us a similar partnership as Pienaar and Baines ?

I'd start with this against Stoke. NEA what you lot or Koeman thinks lol

Pickford

Baines
Keane
Jagielka
Kenny

Schniderlin
Geuye
Davies

Mirallas
Sandro
Lookman

I like that, but you know Rooney will be in there for the home league opener. Probably in place of Mirallas and playing just behind a front two of Sandro and Lookman.

 

[aazak]

If Mirallas could learn to pass, he'd be one of the best forwards in the league.

But he wouldn't be Kev.

 

[banno]

How is the pre-season win at all costs friendly going? Is it koeman out yet?

 

[Huyton Layne]

JJK loses us possession from a throw as he wont go back to Besic right away. Hope the lad's not dense.

 

[Tubey]

Kenny starts right back for me against Stoke. No reason whatsoever why not.

Pickford is like a cat!

Pickford

Baines
Keane
Jagielka
Kenny

Schniderlin
Geuye

Mirallas
Sandro
Lookman

Koeman will definitely be starting with rooney and klaassen

 

[Blue Juice]

Imagine a centre half pairing of funes and besic lol

 

[Norwegian Cow]

first touch of the ball from tom davies this half?

 

[Huyton Layne]

Imagine a centre half pairing of funes and besic lol

For the derby, absolutely.

 

[joebocop]

This has probably been said by a fair few people, but I'm not sure I get the calls for a targetman in the Giroud mold.

The midfield is a jack-of-all-trades, all rather samey, with no one player who'll commit to getting forward in the final third.
Thereby what is the point in a targetman holding the ball up when the support doesn't come from our midfield - Glyfi isn't that player either. We have an abundance centre mids and adding another just doesn't bring anything to the team.


For all Barkley's flaws -I'm not his biggest fan- he would atleast carry the team forward. Oddly this formation would suit him a lot more as a position is clearly identifiable for him. I'm not saying keep Barkley either, I've said many a time away from this forum he should be sold for his own good, but there has got to be a player of his ilk but better - and I don't think Gylfi is that.

Then again I'm 'wetting the bed' 'it's only preseason' and 'koeman knows best' and you know what all that might be true which renders this and any other forum a waste of time. Nobody should have an opinion because your not Koeman.
