defensive formation

[toffeestillidie]

with the new addition of neill, what's the best way to arrange our back 4? baines on the left, yobo in the centre, but would you want neill or heitinga to play right back?

personally i'd like to see neill there, he's really good going forward so he really should play wide back i believe. once we have jagielka back we're going to have one ******* intimidating defense.

 

[ToxtethBlue]

Neill/Heitinga----------Yobo----------Distin----------Baines

Yobo, Distin and Baines pick themselves at the moment. It's hard to pick a right back at the moment because Heitinga and Neill are still unproven and haven't played enough for the Blues.

Heitinga had a solid debut but it was against an average side and we where on the front foot for most of the game. Like every new player he's still got alot to prove.

Tonight it would have to be Hibbo, got 50 vcash on him to score and us to win .

But seriously the perfect opportunity for Heitinga to get more experience of the position, the teammates and the english game, with pompey and BATE coming up. No need for Moyes to be conservative in his approach at all in my opinion. Barring injuries, the back four and keeper should remain untouched allowing the two centre halves to continue to strengthen their partnership as well.

damn i haven't been thinking right lately, completely forgot about distin somehow. thats excellent now we have a pretty tough selection decision on our hands, exactly the position i want to be in. either a dutch international or the australian captain are going to be benched, our squad really has improved since the departure of lescott in my opinion.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

I'd play

Heitinga - Yobo - Distin -Baines
Hibbert
Neill
Jagielka*
Hutton**




No left winger in the world would want to play against us



* when he comes back
** in January

As this is Everton we're talking about, Yobo will need to provide cover sometimes

Neill right back. Heitinga defensive mid. Hibbo on the bench.

 

[goodisonblues]

................yobo jagz distin
(heinga/neil)..............................baines
....arteta (fellanin/billy/rodwell) peinaar
................cahill
.................(saha/yak)

another formation if need be wing-backs

 

[Jamo Martinez]

................yobo jagz distin
(heinga/neil)..............................baines
....arteta (fellanin/billy/rodwell) peinaar
................cahill
.................(saha/yak)

That could be interesting but personally I'd prefer Peinaar on the right, Billy on the left, Rodwell and Arteta in the middle and Cahill as sub.

Not opn a continuous basis like

 

[Evertongk]

our midfield is more of a selection issue than our back four with everyone fit

Howard
Hietinga yobo jags baines subs distin neill hibbo
piennar rodwell arteta billy subs cahill felli osman baxter
yak saha subs jo, vic, agard

 

[Hibbo]

Hibbert - Distin - Yobo - Baines

Yes, Hibbert next to Distin, he will play better.

 

[Bundy]

................yobo jagz distin
(heinga/neil)..............................baines
....arteta (fellanin/billy/rodwell) peinaar
................cahill
.................(saha/yak)

Is Neill considered a wing back?

 

[Evertongk]

i would not think so
