Everton playing 3 at the back

[neonleon]

Can we put this to a democratic vote?

3 at the back. How much more of this will we have to endure?

 

[Azzurri]

Don't think 3 at the back was the problem there really, we were just dreadful in every single area of the pitch.

 

[neonleon]

Seriously? We went to 4-4-2 about 81 minutes in and we started to play.

Can anyone else confirm that? I've had a few beers like.

Don't work when 2 of the 3 are absolutely dross and slow af.

Another reason not to. Aside from the obvious results. I know he's dealing with Coleman's injury but he's tried this 3 at the back against Liverpool, Chelsea last season, Spurs. It never feckin works.

Holgate and Baines hurt us against sides like this. Neither are adventurous enough to relieve pressure.

Say no to 3 at the back

More Baines than Holgate imho.
Old dogs, new tricks and stuff.

It may help if he had Coleman fit to play as right wingback and played Holgate at centre half or actually signed a centre half with some pace. His current fit options mean it is a system we shouldn't play but given how short we were in midfield today we probably had to anyway.

Holgate should be in that 3, with Kenny or Martina at RB.

If I was prime minister first thing I'd do would be to ban 3 at the back

 

[Saaby]

Needs to be abolished

 

[Joey66]

2nd half we went six at the back! Basic played so deep!
We were 2-0 down?

Three never works. The three musketeers were shyte without d'artagnan. The fantastic four wouldn't be any good without that one that looks like a turd. If Ant and Dec was a threesome you'd probably top yourself etc.
