Match Thread Everton v Hajduk Split

[cromofo]

Play the strongest team. Way easier to break Hajduk and get a decent lead at home than it will be away.

Some of the best Hajduk players are missing or doubtful so there should be no problems breaking them down. Unleash Lookman and Mirallas at around 60-70 minute mark and they'll finish the job.

3,4 - 0 is doable.

Need to take a 2-3 goal advantage into the second leg. Keep a clean sheet aswell. 3-0 I'm going for.

 

[Roztitute]

Need to smash them up in this leg so it's beyond doubt and we can give some rests to the likes of Gueye, Rooney etc.

Just seen this has already been mentioned, apols

We've played three games, no-one should need rotating.

4 days between the fixtures as well

 

[LydiateLee]

We need to go all out to put this tie to bed. Get a couple of early goals and get Goodison rocking.

I'd sacrifice one DM for this.

Pickford
Holgate
Jagielka
Keane
Baines
Gueye
Davies
Klaassen
Lookman/Mirallas
Rooney
DCL

Right seriously, wtf is up with this 'Everton' nonsense, get right in the bin with that saying.

Clean sheet and couple of goals would do nicely.

Never had the pleasure of watching a game on YouTube before, is it straightforward or do you need to be logged/signed in ?

COYB

Up Everton!

 

[Wat Tyler]

Gonna be tight, tough competition this Zenit lost to Utrecht last night.

 

[Eggs]

..I'm expecting a very tight game. Unless there's a significant change in our performance levels I think this is very much in the balance.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Would take a 1-0 again. Arguably a clean sheet at home is just as important as a goal so I reckon we'll set up quite defensively minded.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Holgate at right-back...

Better than Martina or DCL, and he's never starting Kenny.

 

[Albro]

martina should start if we go with 3 at the back. martina or davies at RWB. dont even mind Martina starting on the left.

 

[zandvoort blue]

I'm pretty sure Koeman will go true to form with the comfort blanket of 2 DMs, maybe just for the first half - Gana and Schneids - then bring Davies on later in the game. Either for Klaassen or as a swap of one of the DMs. Wont want to concede an away goal.

Having said that, I'd want to see mostly what others have already suggested

Pickford
Kenny
Jagielka
Keane
Baines
Gueye
Davies
Klaassen
Lookman
Rooney
DCL

We're at home ffs.
Lets try and take a 3 goal cushion just for once into a tricky away tie.

I'd actually have no problem with Martina was a wing back, the one skill he has shown is that he can consisently get a cross past the first man which is something anyone in an Everton shirt has struggled with in a wide position.

Would also mean there are four defenders behind to cover should he get caught out.
