Playing for Ireland... [Poor language removed] off! Taking our wage and risking himself (again) with this pointlessness.

He'll get a run out tonight for probably an hour and will likely feature against Georgia on Sunday too. Sounds ideal for someone feeling their way back.

It's Coleman, McCarthy and McGeady I'd be more worried about as they'll do the full 90 mins in Tblisi

They're playing Oman, so I wouldn't worry for Gibbo. It's not a competitive game, that will be a good fitness test for him.

Read that as Osman haha.

Looks like we are effectively playing Gibson ahead of Naismith and therfore losing a significant goal threat to me.

Yup, but also gaining in Eto'o and mirallas. Hard one really because Naismith has been awesome!!

But it's a squad game, keeping on chopping and changing will keep teams guessing.

That formation limits our fullbacks getting forward as if Barry if out left he can't slot in between the CBs when we have the ball. Maybe that would maintain a better shape at the back but it would rob us of one of our best assets going forward.

Don't think so really mate. It's the same pretty much as we played against arsenal both the last to home games. Coleman scored!

Think it works a little different than looks on paper as I have it there. But the principle I'm getting at is a 4-3-3 could be a great option to use more.

Do you mean no nonsense?

yes was late in the evening zooming out type posting that

Christiffa. I think your team lacks balance. We have three midfielders who are too similar unless McCarthy is asked to play a more adventurous role. Eto'o is a striker that would play with Lukaku rather than play wide,it would either leave Coleman too exposed and very little threat from that wing.

With 3 at the back being the talk of the town would it really be a stretch for Everton to play this system if everybody was fit.
...........howard...........
.....Jag.....Stones.....Barry
Coleman....Mccarthy......Oviedo
..............Barkley...........
Eto'o/nais......................Miralles
..............Lukaku...................

Barry does drop into a 3 a lot of the time anyway. We have more than likely seen the best of Baines so get Oviedo in there and the front 4 is pretty damn obvious. Imagine Barkley making surging runs from that position.

You've dropped Naismith??!!

 

[mawders]

I don't see why we can't play Lukaku, Eto'o, Naismith and Miralles in the same team

How funny is this,,,,trying to think of ways to keep Naismith in the side!
