Match Thread Everton v Rotherham United, Preview, Report and MotM Poll

[D410]

Do we really need 2 DM against Rotherham !

Drop Davies and put the game out of sight by half time then bring Davies on for 2nd half for a like for like switch.

 

[BigDuncFunk]

With the amount of injuries we are picking up we should be playing a 2nd string.

Pickford

Kenny Zouma Holgate Baines

Siggurdsson Davies

Dowell Lookman Calvert Lewin

Niasse

Bernard on for the last 30 mins to go some match fitness.

 

[TyphooToffee]

Pretty sure he is banned

Nope, just league games.

 

[Nymzee]

This is gonna be a right jarg game

 

[toffeejack]

Pickford
Kenny Holgate Zouma Digne
Schneiderlin Gueye
Lookman Bernard Richarlison
Niasse
​

Is what I would play, maybe Coleman instead of Kenny. No europe means we have to give a few squad players a chance, whilst also making sure we win.

No point in resting richarlison seeing as he only played half a game sat and won't be playing for another three weeks.

I fully expect it to be one of those games where we think we should smash them, but ends up going to extra time. Vault me.

What did Siggurdson do against Bournemouth? Even then though shock horror at 20 year old academy player not being at same level as 2 international players one of which cost 45 mill.

What he didnt do was miss 5 yard passes by 5 yards, when under no duress.

Funny how it quickly goes to "not even the worst midfielder on the field to" "well, he didnt cost as much as Siggy". Bit of a moving target there, awfully hard to hit but I guess you like those straw men.

 

[BlueToff]

Nope, just league games.

He is banned for the Rotherham game, just like Jagielka is.

A straight red card counts across all domestic competitions, as far as I'm aware.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Pickford

Kenny Zouma Holgate Digne

Gana Mr Testicles

Dowell Bernard Lookman

Tosun

Dear lord we need a striker don’t we?

DCL as our backup striker knocks me sick

 

[ricer10]

Must start GK / back line that will play on Sat .... Pickford Coleman Holgate Zouma Digne ..... rotate some of the others .... we need some defensive confidence

Nope, just league games.

No mate, all domestic comps.

..I agree. I would definitely go with that back four, although i’m not convinced Baines will be dropped on Saturday. For that to happen, Digne will have to look very impressive.
