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

Would like to see Davies come back into the side if no Gana

Drop Bernard and have either Richarlison on the left and DCL up top or Richarlison up top and Lookman on the left.

I’m adjusting my 2-0 loss prediction to 3-0 in the basis of today’s results. Our lads will feel a little more pressure and so will crumble a little more.

Jesus it's become doom and gloom on here

 

[deipnosophist]

Haha thing is we don't hold it against him as we know how good he is, level headed keeper, seems a top bloke too

I’ve a hunch @davek might not agree with all this. lol

I am still not convinced with Pickford. He can make the impossible look easy and the easy look impossible. That means he is inconsistent which, in turn, means his defence can't 100% rely on him and that affects their confidence and decision making.

I am sure as he matures as a 'keeper he will improve his decision making but right now he needs to concentrate on not making any (more) silly mistakes and building a good understanding and confidence with his defence.

Bags of natural talent without a doubt, but it needs channeling properly.

I see a GK wh is erratic by nature. That's who he is. He's a bit like Gazza imo, in the sense that you just look at him and know he'll never 'kin learn.

IF we win tomorrow we will be 2 points off City in second which must mean the title race between the RS, City, Chelsea and Woolwich is really hotting up.

Pickford
Coleman Keane Zouma Digne
Davies Gomes
Walcott Sigurdsson Richarlison

I don't wish to be rude but this particular post is relevant to a Spurs forum, after todays results could you please leave us in our misery.

If Gana's not fit, I'd say that's fair enough.

Although not sure on changing the defence. Our defence looked solid until Zouma came back in v Newcastle. Since then it has been iffy. I'm not blaming Zouma, and I know you have this zero tolerance for mistakes, but Mina's a better player and I think him and Keane looked solid.

Then again, Spurs have the option of pace from Alli/Son/Lucas so maybe we need Zouma in there, and Mina can play v Burnley.

If Gana's fit he has to start this game. They will have more of the ball, they're a better side. We need to free Gomes up to do what he's good at, and not have him trying to fire-fight like Gana does. Davies could do his best, but I don't think he's good enough at it against a side of Spurs' quality.

Can't really argue with DCL up top if he does start, although I have a feeling we'll see Richarlison there.
