Besic for Stones???

...

So two wing backs, three centre-halves... instead of doing the obvious and going with two wingers...

He's allergic to playing with two wingers isn't he?

No way two wingers is a good idea when they're being torn apart through the middle

2-0 down so Stones warming up lads!
A defender looking to come on when 2-0 down the RM way?

He's crazy. Should stick to pole-dancing routines

Why is the kitman giving stones some last minute instructions and not the manager?

It's the culture mate. When we played Fiorentina in the UEFA Cup, the press officer was kicking balls at Howard as we were preparing for the penalty shoot out. Classic Everton.

Well in Clev

 

[DRM]

We can still win this because it's Arsenal.
They'll keep on playing and not park the bus like other top teams would.

Let's see how this Stones tactical move comes off. Don't understand it myself when we need to score. Why not Deulofeu or our new striker and go 2 up top?

 

[zirc]

Looks like a 3-4-3 then

 

[paulus]

Besic deservedly off

Yap but he really look like hes unfit or something

 

[irishtony1878]

Was it part of the Moshiri package that we had to roll over against Arsenal to keep them in the title race? This game looks more bent than the Wimbledon one.

 

[Ring master]

if we do score it needs to be quick,and not last min to make it 2-1,or after arsenal have scored again

 

[zirc]

I know cleverly gives his all but he's just not good enough. Honestly feel sorry for Baines down that left hand side

He really isn't. Capable at everything, excellent at nothing. Villa really was his level.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Can't see this sub working. We are effectively going to have a back 5 with one less man in midfield. As useless as besic was we have just surrendered even more possession to arsenal.

 

[longers]

Look how easy that is from a free kick, three passes and they are a couple metres from goal

 

[Ashtonian]

That's a good point.

We have a weakness with crosses, so now we have weakened the area where the ball can be crossed into......

 

[coollino]

May have been ok if Everton were 1-0 down.
