New manager bounce 2-1 us

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

To all blues going to the game, make some noise. Give Carlo a Goodison debut to remember.

3-1 to us. Up the toffees.

I like this a lot. Hope Carlo has seen that Sigurdson is to be sold in January. Just no benefit to keep him here.

won't be expecting major changes after 3 days. I think it might be a bit more of Duncs style for this one.

I’m going with the 4411 which is a bit like 442 but with Siggy in the number 10 role. I think he’s going to slowly bring Kean in as he’s still young. Siggy could swap with Richarlison or even play in a 5 man midfield.

I’m surprised at the lack of central midfield options. Where did they all go?

agreed. Little tweaks here and there to make us more of a threat going forward I’d imagine.

Carlo could put 11 mince pies out and we should still beat Burnley at home

Agreed ... but no Morgan’s or keane’s

By tweeks I hope that means no tuson

Rip it up and start again.

After years of looking for bargains in the whoops aisle, we have gone straight to Waitrose and picked up their finest steak, little bit of Nero d’Avola to wash it down with, magnifico, MAKE A SUB CARLO FFS.

First up for "Carlo's all-conquering blue machine"(copyrighted) is the boys from Burnley and Sean "gravy" Dyche, doing alright there in 10th and won the "Next Everton managers Derby" today against Bournemouth. You know what your getting with Burnley, balls in the box and a flat back 9, very tough to play against, especially for a team thats currently lacking creativity.

Sadly cant imagine Carlo will have much time to work on things, but we should have enough to see us through, you would think, RIGHT? WHATS OUR NAME!!!

I wish to take this chance to wish you all a very Happy Christmas, full of joy and happiness and a very blue New Year.

Goats 11 to start :

Pickford
Sidney - Mina - Holgate - Digne
Bernie - Delph - Davies - Rico
DCL - Kean

​

What kind of crazy formation is that? It will never work, he needs to go with a more reliable 4-2-3-1 formation!!! happy Christmas goat.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

As long as we turn up this year.

Leicester last year, players seemed half cut from the night before.

 

[Mosh Pit]

Any spares for the game tomorrow?

Haven't felt the Goodison roar in quite some time.

 

[Bluerover]

A very Happy Christmas to my Blue brothers and sisters.

Am sure he will make the best use out of what is available to him, not going to expect miracles but am eager to see his in game management at work.

He has watched our last 3 games and of course on Saturday was able to witness first hand what the team needs. Can’t expect drastic changes due to the injury list. But let’s hope he realises Siguardsson isn’t to be played on the wing and Tosun shouldn’t be anywhere near the squad.
