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

[COYB75]

I never get anywhere close to picking the team that plays on the day. For what it's worth I would go with -
Olsen, Kenny, Godfrey, Keane, Digne, Allan, Delph, Doucoure, Gordon, James, DCL.
Mina like Pickford is making too many key errors and drops to the bench. A few games ago I would have been confident of winning this but like so many seasons we play [Poor language removed] against the red [Poor language removed] and go in to a downward spiral. We got away with a draw against them and have been our usual scared selves since then. DCL aside who still looks full of confidence.

 

[Furey1878]

1-1 I reckon here

 

[Hendi]

Kinhell we’ve dropped quick

Need to beat these, they’re garbage, 3-0

They're coming out with a rallying cry. It's exactly what we need to be doing. It's going to be hard.

 

[Martin Alvito]

We're likely to field a very different team than we did against Newcastle.

Figuring out how to keep their faster players from finding space at the back is going to be crucial. The team we deploy is likely to score. The problem will probably be not getting outscored.

I reckon the only changes will be James and Digne coming in for Gomes and Nkounkou mate.

I really hope we don't play Delph, he's the king of back passes, very seldom goes forward and so slow.

 

[Martin Alvito]

Depends on:

- Coleman's status
- Whether Carlo wants to try someone other than Sigurdsson up top
- Whether Carlo wants to try Godfrey through the center
- If Carlo wants to try someone other than Delph in midfield

I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple more changes besides the obvious ones. I doubt he was best pleased with what happened Sunday.

good team that imo. So good shout.
But I suspect that Siggy and IwobI might be shoehorned in somewhere. And Mina will most likely start. Also Pickford. Not really the team I would like to see. Slow and ponderous. And riddled with mistakes.
No points gained in recent weeks. So surely something has to change.
Get some fresh legs and tactics In for this match. They have a match in midweek. But I bet it's us who end up looking tired.
But again.......that's not a bad line up that you have suggested.....

I think Delph is one of the silliest players in the Premier League. When he played for City did a lot of stupid things, that's why Pep doesn't want him.

 

[f.t.r.s]

How many pens are we going for?

 

[billybadger]

We are going to need at least 3 goals to win this one taking into account a Pickford error that leads to a goal and Utd’s weekly penalty award

 

[Blue Magic]

Not expecting the lineup to be anything like this, but:

Olsen
Kenny Keane Mina Digne
James Allan Doucoure Nkounkou
DCL Gordon

 

[The Binman]

If ever a team needs to win, we at Everton, are very generous in that respect.... i feel we may struggle to get a result, theyve been pretty bad the last couple of games, we've been really poor... I don't see a blue win, but i hope we can surprise me

 

[deipnosophist]

The all-time champion of back/sideways passes was that Ray Wilkins fella...he used to drive me bananas!

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

If Pickford and Sigurdson start we lose.
