Match Thread Everton 1-1 Leeds. Mon Jan 26th. 8pm

[Caolam]

Absolutely bum the arses off these. Fast start, two up within 18 minutes. Bring on Dibling and Beto for McNeil and Barry respectively after 60 minutes, Aznou and Gueye for Mykolenko and Armstrong at 68 (Gueye playing deeper to add further resolve to the midfield), then Branthwaite for Patterson (O'Brien to right back) after 82 minutes to a roaring reception. 2-0.

Starting XI:
Pickford
Patterson-Tarkowski-O'Brien-Mykolenko
Garner-Roehl
Ndiaye-Armstrong-McNeil
Barry

Ending XI:
Pickford
O'Brien-Tarkowski-Branthwaite-Aznou
Gueye-Garner-Roehl
Dibling-Beto-Ndiaye​

I like your thinking!

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Farke them all…3-3

Farke rying out loud- anything less than 3 points is borderline criminal

 

[Sadken]

Well we have just had a great away win so what can go wrong?

hate that this is a monday night, feels like a proper 3pm game this

worried ndiaye won’t be ready, and gana

mcneil and dibling just too one paced

going the game without grealish is a stinker

these are the kind of hyperspecific thoughts i have about football and I’m glad to see I’m not alone

 

[HKContractDave]

Branthwaite, Alcaraz and KDH all back in training

 

[Parker]

If fit, Ndiaye goes straight back in but id be tempted to leave Gueye on the bench. That midfield 3 deserve another start after that Villa game.

Patterson also, should start.

 

[liamefc91]

Moyes didnt seem too happy about ndiaye and gana only getting back today.

Suppose he is the one who granted it otherwise a club fine.

If it was a sunday or sat game then i think they’d have been back yesterday

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Illy and Gana shoud be fit after a game 8 days before this one but lets face it they likely got bladdered after the game and then flew to Senegal for the bus reception which they seemed to enjoy. On the flip side Gana is a good Muslim and likely doecn't drink. Hard to say if they are fit to start .Moyes might be foolish to change a winning team but I got the impression the midfield 3 last week was a tactical job for Villa. He'll pick the team most likely to win, from whats available and then in Moyes way he won't be making a ton of subs unless the game is gone after 70 mins.

Pickford
Patterson - Tarkowski - O'Brien - Mykolenko
Garner - Rohl
N'Diaye - Armstrong - McNeil
Barry

Likely Armstrong's last game for us this season?

Yes apart from one.
Because Myko doesn't attack that much goo with Dibling or Aznou for balance.

Any but McNeil like anyone at all.

 

[Kendal]

If Armstrong plays to his usual standard he will be staying surely.

 

[Marc bolan]

If Armstrong plays to his usual standard he will be staying surely.

Going by what moyes said ( I would like him to go back to Preston i live there and would like to see them do well )
I'm not sure

Rather they give Branthwaite more time.

 

[Ring master]

Not sure how much more time he needs etc. Been training for over 6 weeks.I think he will be sub if not Monday, then soon. Then back into the 1st team.He may have played a BCD game, if not that will probably be soon.
