jsut clocked aznou isnt on bench

don’t wanna go all tin foil but wonderng if moyes has left him our so he doesnt have to play him or face questions as to why

or hes out because hes being put out on loan, which would be mad if mykolenko is injured

Aznou is getting loaned out ......

 

[brittcop1]

frustrating to take branthwaite out of the centre too where he can act as a playmaker for us

ffs

new stadium new owners new era

same old everton

Same old Moyes....sorry he is a relic. No imagination. Hes killing the new stadiim vibe and stubbornly refuses to let the likes of Aznou get a look in.

Pickford
Tarks Keane Branthwaite
JOB Garner
Armstrong Gana KDH
Illy
Barry

Jake O’Brien as a wing back is something I certainly don’t want to look at ever.

Anyone think it's going to be 3 CBs with some absolutely mad wing back system or is that wishful thinking?

Either way, one of the wing backs will have to be a centre back.

 

[Drico]

Surely you can't ask Branthwaite to play up and down there left hand side when he's just back from injury, asking for trouble

Looking at it, that’s marginally better than 4 centre backs. Playing Keane instead of putting O’Brien at CB and Patterson at RB is absolutely braindead though

 

[TheNinja]

Maybe it's to protect against long throws into the box and set pieces?

 

[heatmeiser]

Either way, one of the wing backs will have to be a centre back.

Oh yeah it's horrific. Just marginally preferable to playing 4 CBs at the back.

I think...

 

[RomanReigns]

Surely we score from a corner

Surely….

 

[raiseyoureyebrow4thewin!]

Branthwaite back after a long term hamstring injury you say? Let’s play him fullback so he runs up and down

Ridiculous and risky management if you ask me.

our fullbacks don't get up and down the pitch much though

wonder who is on the wing opposite side of Ndiaye.... garner or Armstrong?

 

[OlDirtyBluenose]

Wtf is that line up!?

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

Don’t you just know it…..

Oh look how shocked we all are at that back line in the official team news. It’s so predictable it’s unreal!!

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

Looking forward to drawing Brighton in and Branthwaite launching some beautiful balls down the left flank

exactly

could have kept the back three from leeds, patterson at rwb and either dwight garner or dibling at lwb

as much as i don’t like mcneil much preferable to whatever this is
