[JLW]

The production quality of Toffee TV is what you’d expect - given Ped and Baz’s pedigree.

Utter helmet him.

Expecting this from the team:

Holgate sat on bench
Carthorses Jagielka and Keane to start and get absolutely terrorised by City's strikers
Mori not in squad
Schneiderlin to start and get run all over the place by de Bruyne
Bolasie to start and again make a show of himself
Rooney to start and pass the ball to all the City players
Davies to start and waltz around doing nothing much at all
Walcott and Tosun to start but get no service and thus be more or less ineffective
Pickford to make loads of saves but have to pick the ball out of his net three or more times
Baines and Coleman unable to attack with any effect but defend more or less well enough

Pickford - Coleman - Jagielka - Keane - Baines - Schneiderlin - Rooney - Davies - Walcott - Bolasie - Tosun

Want to see DCL with Tosun up front and see him replicate his away performance

 

[JLW]

Rooney just behind Tosun or don't play him at all, he will get embarrassed in that midfield role, chasing shadows all game.

Expecting to see him 'fizz' plenty of passes directly to Fernando and De Bruyne, then struggle to chase back to tackle them.

 

[ADT]

Schneiderfraud is starting so this is the last chance he'll get to impress (or at least try) at this club. He must realise this is the only chance he's gonna get so he might just try.

DCL is up front with Tosun...looks like 4-4-2

 

[JLW]

Because he probably wont see much of the ball he will be trying them glory passes all game.

Rooney?

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Dictating play from centre midfield hahahaaaaa

 

[ADT]

Sam will say we were trying to copy Burnley who got a draw

Jagielka, Keane, Schneiderlin, Rooney, Bolasie, Calvert-Lewin
