Match Thread Everton v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Toffe3m4n]

Hard to predict what he'll line up with here given Wednesday night's game. For me Iwobi has to start, but I don't think Bernard deserves to drop to the bench.. nor do I believe Sigurdsson & Richarlison will be dropped either. Coleman back in for Sidibe is fairly cut and dry.. but what about the midfield? Gomes for Schneiderlin with Delph retaining his place? Think Kean is still 50/50 whether he'll start ahead of DCL as well.

At least there's a few choices there anyway I suppose.

 

[blue to the bone]

My personal 11 would be

Pickford
Coleman - Mina - Keane - Digne
Richarlison - Gomes - Delph - Bernard
Kean - DCL

Bench of
Lossl, Sidibe, Holgate, Schneiderlin, Iwobi, Walcott, Tosun
​

Go full on 4-4-2 I think. We always isolate the striker too much, to our overall detriment. Get two up there so they can support one another

As for the game itself, I think we have to be wary of the attacking threat Wolves possess, so our defending needs to be on point and we need to take our chances when they are given to us

Hoping for an edgy 1-0 or 2-1 win for the Toffeemen!!

​

Siggy not even in your squad?

I fancy us to win this 2-1 with us finally conceeding a goal at home

That's a good point

Stick him on the bench in place of Walcott I guess, although if you're going 442 there's not really s place for him unless you want to revert to a 451 at some stage during the game?

DCL must start getting familiar with the bench.

I'd be starting him every week myself anyway.

 

[Mat70s]

While defensive solidity has been a positive feature since the spring, the side have started the season looking lightweight in front of goal. Surely this is a game to get offensive players up top - Iwolbi, Kean, Bernard. You can't win games if you don't score goals.

Bob Latchford scoring Everton's opening goal in their 2-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on the 23rd September 1978. One of the best to wear the Everton number 9.

Kean is going too run into the same brick wall eventually

We simply can't keep isolating the striker the way we do

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

Pickford
Coleman Keane Mina Digne
Delph Gomes Sigurdsson
Richarlison Kean Bernard​

Lossl, Holgate, Schneiderlin, Davies, Iwobi, Calvert-Lewin, Tosun

If we were going two up with Dom and Kean, Dom is the player you'd want deeper I think

So deep he's sitting on the bench ?

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I'd be starting him every week myself anyway.

I want us to play two strikers and sadly he doesn't work in that system

He'd be a round peg for a square hole

We just can't keep isolating the striker anymore. It demonstrably doesn't work

baby hart
Coleman slabhead, big daddy clean sheets, digne
Delph Gomes
Richy iwobi Bernard
Kean



Fight me

Could be something to that but I've seen DCL get chances on a plate giving to him and smash it off the keeper or off target every time. And I've seen Kean in limited game time work his own opportunities and smash the post 2/3 times. He's looked miles more promising.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

So deep he's sitting on the bench ?

We have four strikers

If you're playing two up then it's pretty obvious that you select DCL and Kean

Tosun may have more technical skill but DCL has the physical attributes and they matter more in this league, for better or worse
