Match Thread Everton v Stoke City . Saturday 12/08/2017. 15.00

[Rook]

Jags is so uncomfortable playing that role
Doesn't have it in him

at least today he could be awful as he wants to be. Stoke are awful and are only scoring on a corner or a Shaquri wondergoal.

 

[bluerobert]

klaassen looks awful

It's his first prem game against a team that typifies what makes the premier league so difficult. Have a little faith

 

[mawders]

This game SCREAMS Ross Barkley

No, it screams Tom Davies or Lookman

 

[riddick]

One of the crazy things is is playing 3 at the back. Ok, fair enough. If one of those CBs get injured, we have nobody to move in, do we?

 

[ricardobee]

He is quite bizarre tbh.

Spongebob shaquiri pants

True mate
Very uninspiring thus far

 

[LocalNative]

Wow Sandro is really crap

 

[BigBlueConk]

This lot look like they gel well in the next 3 years!

YES! Corner.

 

[itsnowak]

Lookman NEEDS to come in at half. And the way things stand right now, I'd bring on Davies for klaasen NEA. Klaasen has done absolutely nothing

 

[Igrok]

So, is Chelsea awful too or wut?

 

[PeregrineT]

Lookman and Davies for Klassen and Rooney.

That would be bad, as Klaassen has been our best midfielder going forward. It should be Davies on for Rooney and Lookman on for Gueye or DCL.

 

[kenada_blue]

Rooneys got better especially when he's picking up space

 

[LinekersLegs]

he's very right footed and being forced to play LB here

Tbh Barry would have been a better shout in the role if were going to go with this odd formation - he's even slower but at least is left sided and can pick an excellent pass.

 

[mceverton]

Awful so far, very poor

 

[Aar_the_Toffees]

Well they said patience. I guess this is a test.
