It simply must be either this:

Pickford
Coleman Holgate Mori Baines
Gueye
Rooney Davies
Walcott Sigurdsson
Tosun​

Pickford
Coleman / Keane / Jagielka / Baines
Walcott / Gueye / Davies / Sigurdsson
Tosun / Calvert-Lewin

Robles / Holgate / Funes Mori / Klaassen / Rooney / Bolasie / Niasse

Y tho?????

Niasse should join Cenk Tosun instead of DCL. I have a good feeling about this pairing.

Because I can't pick Stones and Kompany I have to pick from Everton.

There's simply no excuses to not play both Mori and Baines. Mori played two 60 minute u23 games plus one 90 minute game and has been in full training for two months.

Baines has been out since November and seemingly it's been decided that it's not necessary for him to gain match fitness in the u23s, otherwise he'd have been in their squad instead of ours last week. Surely ready to start now.

Coleman starting is a given. I hope - since I expect Holgate won't start - that those three are good enough to counter the liability next to them that is either going to be Keane or Jagielka.

But they're our worst defenders

Its a no excuse win for me. Brighton at home. Ffs. If everton turn up to work off the ball as hard as brighton do then its 3 points.

Opps

Add to that the following is essential for 3 points.
Cuco to bench baines to start
mori to start (we need an agressive center and the others are *$%#)possibly with holgate
Tosun up front.
Dlc nowhere near wing.
Goodison crowd behind team. Place has lost its buzz last number of years. Prob has worst atmosphere in premier. Faster we move to a new stadium the better.

Glenn Murray will run our back four ragged just like Ashley Barnes did !!

Harsh on Keane even if he was especially dire in the last game.

I'd prefer Holgate and Keane but it isn't going to happen.

He's been gash all season
