Match Thread Everton v Manchester United - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

Evertonians crying about the team news again.

Imagine my shock.

Can't we change the tune and give Ancelotti the benefit of doubt?

I mean, he is Carlo Ancelotti.

I know he's Carlo Ancelotti but I also think it's a rather strange team selection. Would you say you are comfortable with it?

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Only explanation I have is that he's accepted the season is dead and is just trying different things. He hasn't seen how god-awful Sigurdsson is wide left so perhaps he just wants to see it first hand.

If so, I hope he at least enjoys the show.

It’s like he’s trying to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that he doesn’t fit into any position in our team. He was absolutely woeful against Arsenal, Gary Neville made a point of it.

It's an opinion mate on the team selection it's ok to have one it doesn't meaning we are crying.

 

[Lelouch]

have to assume he's picked Sigg to try and get on Fernades all game.

Hope holgates on martial because if it’s clubfoot tasked with looking after him it’ll be a bloodbath

More I look at it the more I'm convinced it's 4-3-3. Richarlison left, Walcott right, DCL centre.

If so it's not a bad line-up in theory. It means that we don't have to rely on the faded Baines/Coleman to get beyond the midfield and can hold our shape a bit more.

 

[collymcd]

Er, at least Gylfi's corners are decent. Is Bernard carrying a slight knock or something?

Slugs of war clogging up the pitch again with Gylfi, Keane, Coleman and Baines. Can't wait until we finally have a competitive squad.

Still think we'll do these.

Some players just have an uncanny ability in making themselves look good to every manager they play under.

He's going to be a thorn in our side until his contraxt expires sadly.

 

[MikeH72]

Martial is an annoying one, not a player I rate particularly highly but he always seems to score against us a la Aubameyang and Wilson

He’s a fantastic player but blows hot and cold, either a match winner or completely anonymous. 95% the former against us.

 

[stretford blue]

4-2-3 - you forgot to subtract the invisible Icelandic Glacier from the team.

no i am expecting him to score today honestly

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Don’t think he rates Mina. Have to agree with him on that one.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

Rather have mina instead of keane, delph instead of baines. Bernard instead of sig.

Contrary to the gash I heard from some supporters last weekend Baines was solid, 7.5/10 easy, had Bellerin in his pocket all game, put in some good balls.

And that's why Carlo has gone with him again.

 

[Tubey]

....Davies/Gomes axis actually played very well together earlier in the season.

I'd deffo trust Gary Neville's judgment over Carlo's
