[ELMSWOOD48]

Wayne Clarke scoring Everton’s winning goal in their 0-1 win against Arsenal in this First Division One match which was played at Highbury Stadium on the 28th March 1987.

I'm sure Delph will continue his long standing and various muscle strain injury concerns into this game.

Imagine it'll be Schneiderlin and Davies in midfield, hopefully allowing Holgate to drop back into centre half, relegating Michael Keane to cleaning boots and tidying the changing room

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Must win - 7 points behind the top 7 we cant afford to slip up in many more games if we want to achieve europe this season and make something of the remainder of the season.

Their CB's dont like a battle and we have to give them one.

Assuming Gylfi and Sidibe are back:

Pickford

Sidibe Holgate Mina Baines

Richarlison Gylfi Davies Iwobi

Kean DCL

Iwobi has to be on the left for me does nothing on the right.

 

[Gaffa]

Fergies last game

4-4-2
Pickford
Sidibe Holgate Mina Baines (or Digne)
Gordon Gylfi Davies Rich
DCL Kean

3-2 Start Kean, don't start Kean then take him off and put him back on again

'Ooohhh the Kean a cokey'

 

[GwladysBlue]

A must win game but I’m not feeling all that confident about it.

A must win game but I’m not feeling all that confident about it.

Goodison has to be rocking for it - they are soft bellied as we were under Silva but with 2 top strikers.

If we can grab an early goal and bully their CB's we will win.

Just concerned about our energy levels after playing two tough games already in a number of days.

This is where the sick notes Gylfi and Delph have to force themselves back to give us some fresh legs in the middle of the park - Sidibe hopefully also back for Coleman.

Iwobi has to be in the centre.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Iwobi has to be in the centre.

Aye but cant see Dunc doing that - its basically flat 4-4-2 until Carlo arrives.

 

[Gaffa]

This game could be anything. I'm going to stick my neck out and go 4-4

 

[Dougie]

Iwobi has to be in the centre.

Fully agree he just hasn’t got a clue on the wing but in the middle he is dangerous. Last night was a tough watch for him he probably knew he was having a shocker.

 

[degsy]

If Ancelotti is sealed, he'll be picking the team, formation and tactics.

It's conceivable that the 442 has been played by DF on Ancelotti's instructions for about the past two weeks.

Not sure he'd even got the sack 2 weeks ago

 

[degsy]

3-1 us

This.

Played a lot better in the second half when he was more central...

 

[nsno-chris]

These are a shambles

expect 3 points and nothing else
