Match Thread Everton v Tottenham Hotspur - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Tim's tourettes]

Delph could be the modern day Gareth Barry if he had the right attitude, application and wasn`t so flakey with injuries.

And was a lot more talented

Just shows that the manager does not rate all of them gbamin davies and holgate. Thought go with 4 cm but happy gordon is in instead of iwobi

Only an idiot would rate Gbamin, Davies or even worse Holgate.

Delph could be the modern day Gareth Barry if he had the right attitude, application and wasn`t so flakey with injuries.

He could be the modern day Errol Brown if he could sing.

Yes, I did. That was at the end of the game when the team was crying out for our manager to bring on another midfielder after Ranieri had made the change. It was also in a game that Davies was tasked with doing what Doucoure does, because our manager didn't change the system.

Davies is not, and never will be, a box-to-box midfielder. I watched him last season, playing as a 6, and he is fine in that role. Not great, but he does the job. And that's what you need in a flat three when you're missing your best midfielder who happens to be the player that makes the system work.

If it's Townsend dropping into midfield today then he at least gives us legs and an ability to carry the ball.

I don't think he has the game intelligence to sit in front of a defence. Whereas he can at least pick a pass in attack. Hopefully in the next window or two, we won't be having a discussion on him because he will be another team's problem with a better replacement in.

....dreading this

Spurs front three will destroy Godfrey and Keane here

 

[lungo]

Happy with that team, other than the centre back pairing...

That's two centre halves who are super low on confidence, playing together.

When they both played a few weeks ago they were dreadful.

Would have put Holgate in there but, hopefully they turn a new leaf today.

COYB!

Yeah bring back the Laurel and Hardy duo. Slapstick at his best!

 

[ArtetaMagic]

Is this on Sky? All I can see is it advertising Arsenal v Watford

Nope. You'll have to find another way to watch it

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Micheal Keane la...modern day Carl Tyler.

Infact thats doing Tyler a disservice.

 

[Deleted member 48881]

With Godfrey still in charge we can concede loads..sbt.

 

[ashwuk76]

Why are a lot of people moaning about the line up and bench?!?

With the injuries we have who exactly would you put in the team who is fit?

Honestly don't think we have any better players fit and available!

Yes i am not happy our options aren't great but that isn't changing anytime soon.

 

[lungo]

Both teams have horrendously slow midfields

Yeah but they have Son the guy who will rip Coleman a new one like every season!

 

[Clarky cat]

Is this the first time Delph has played 2 consecutive games for us since he joined?

Don’t tempt fate…. There is always a chance of a nobbling in the warm up

 

[Tony1985]

Holding out the slightest hope that because we are a counter attacking team and Spurs will come to play and not sit two banks of four, we might be able to get a draw. Just don’t lose ffs.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Hopefully Delph is enough positional discipline but I'd really like 3 in midfield
