Mitoma is licking his lips !!

Ancelotti used to do the same with 4 centre backs for a while and was hailed as a genius.

Four centre backs?

true story

Peak Moyes

 

[Sadken]

Not away at Villa - the best trio I have watched play for Everton for years ....

Exactly,so why chage it....mental.

 

[StateSideToffee]

The more I look at it, the more I'm leaning towards 3 at the back. So it's either O'Brien or Branthwaite at wingback with Garner playing the other side. Certainly not ideal if that's the case. I'm far from anti Moyes but just play one of Aznou or Patterson ffs. If it's 4 at the back I have no words.

Will probably go out and win to shut us up.

Moyes needs to put Branthwaite and O’Brien at CB, and Garner as a lone 6. Carve that into stone on the team sheet.

Everything else is flexible. Those three should never change barring injury.

 

[Daytripper]

He would probably be a moody arse if any of the press questions him about his decisions after the game.

If we win tho no doubt a sly remark or two about anyone not impressed by him.

Ancelotti used to do the same with 4 centre backs for a while and was hailed as a genius.

Not with Peak Michael Keane as one of them

 

[when i score we riot]

I am not worried. At lest everyone looking for wing backs overlapping will shut up now?

The Grealish thing probably affects us a lot these days. Maybe Moyes actually had us set up to play differently? Maybe narrower and through the middle or Ndiaye? Gonna be interesting this!

Aznou is getting loaned out ......

...because the manager doesnt want him....he was the only brightspark in the Sunderland game and Moyes didnt have a good thing to say about him afterwards...playing 3 centerbacks, you couldnt figure out how to give a promising young wingback any minutes? If he is injured its frikking splinters ...

wtaf. The spine picks itself now, whats he playing at?

Not sure he was hailed a genius, the form was poor when he did that for the majority of the games, unfortunately we lost Coleman and digne to injury

We'll surely win every single defensive header and score at least two goals from corners with FIVE outfield players standing at 6'3 or taller.

Except that even Spurs murdered us from corners.

1 keeper on the bench. Yay
