Match Thread Everton 3-2 Spurs 2pm Sunday 19th

Dom and Doucs up front again

Took one game to bin Harrison and Young and I guarantee when the first of McNeil, Garner or Tim are back that’s Doucoure punted as well

Moyes has previous of playing central defenders as full backs. It will also allow the team to go 3 at the back with the ball so he’s at least trying something that Dyche was incapable of. He’s dropped Harrison and Young, so it’s taken him under 90 minutes to see the right side of the team needed binning as Young is too old to be a modern fullback and Harrison is too dog dirt to be starting at all.

Time for the players to be brave for a change

 

[blue61]

Doucs between Gana and Mangala, with Ndiaye behind DCL hopefully. Meaning the wing backs get forward as much as possible.

 

[knowing your history]

... and they'll play like peak Makelele and Pirlo.

Bergvall's looked o.k for them. Nice goal against RS the other week although he should've been sent off before that.

Talk on the Spurs forum it's a false 9 formation they've put out so have to see when it kicks off who of their front 3 is actually central.

Glad to see O`Brien getting a start and what might be a different set up in defense. Wish we could see a change up top, DCL and Doucoure could do with being left out. Don`t understand the 2 keepers on the bench again, surely there`s a young lad that could be sat on the bench if nothing other than to give them a feel for being in the first team squad, and if the unthinkable happens, and we are 2 or 3 up in a game, give them 5 or 10 minutes at the end.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

These have got 10 players out injured apparently.

Wouldn't think so with that forward line.

This is what I think will happen

 

[Librarian]

Struggling to place Lindstrom and NDiaye if it is a back 3. Lindstrom as a wing back?

Pickford

O'Brien - Tarkowski - Branthwaite
Lindstrom ---------------------------Mykolenko
Mangala - Gana
Doucoure - NDiaye
Calvert-Lewin
​

I think he will get Doucoure to drop back into midfield and N’Diaye has a free role behind DCL. He might have Gana play slightly behind Doucoure and Mangala

Big relegation 6 pointer.

The days when EFC and THFC were a part of the 'Big 5' seem a very long time ago.

Gut feeling is a draw but it all comes down to who is the least useless on the day.

Very nice of you to say but despite you being a bit crap you are not in the same league as us.

2-0 to the toffees (!)

 

[Wat Tyler]

Not been these at home for centuries, it’s embarrassing.

 

[torontotom]

Spurs being spurs i haven't paid attention to their progress until this weekend.

They sit just above....us in the table?!?

Everton have a chance to kick Ange mate out of a job if they win today surely?

Anyways doubt everton will but I'm really up for being surprised.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Dom and Doucs up front again

I'd love to be surprised.

 

[lieneverton]

Tried something a bit different. That's progress.

Lucky boy to not get sent off a few games ago though, he’s not street smart yet so you’d hope we will be targeting that and winding him up
