Everton playing 3 at the back

Could work if you had Coleman and Baines of five years ago.

You don't so scrap it.

Exactly. But somewhere in koemans coaching manual it says go for it with 2 holding midfielders as well. We will be lucky to get 1 shot on target for the season.

Wish it was 3 at the back but in reality it's 5 unfortunately we don't have the wing backs to play the system effectively

5 defenders 2 DM's 2 CM's and Rooney dropping deep to pick up the ball pointlessly. Looking forward to it!

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

Hopefully one at the most & he'll be sacked this week.

Oh dear..... 3 at the back with Williams and Cuco too.



Sack him now please Moshiri.

...I call it a back 5. We don't play with wing backs, we play with an extra CB.

Whatever it's called, we don't have the players to play it.


I just want Koeman gone immediately now.

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

11 players behind the penalty spot.

A new low.

That's what I said somewhere else, I agree. Coleman and Baines were our primary attackers for a while a few years ago. Now we need to use some kind of approach that makes use of them the way they are, which is still great. Sad

It's so annoying and difficult if we sack him too - all of 'his players' and a new manager will want to rip it up and start again.

The first year of Martinez showed that Moyes/Martinez blend worked well. Maybe last year showed that as well Martinez / Koeman blend.

In short, Martinez with defensive skills and flexible tactics, with some steel, is what we were looking for

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