Match Thread Everton v WBA, KO 15:00 Sat 20/1/18

[toffee matt]

Big Sam will want to protect the point

 

[heatmeiser]

If Jagielka starts then we’ll probably lose. That’s all I know.

1 nil to Everton. Walcott with a hat trick.

 

[Remember-the-name]

1 defensive midfielder please tank arse. ONE

 

[Big Fat Sam]

He’s getting long in the tooth, but his natural leadership skills demand he leads us through these tempestuous times : first name on the team sheet HAS to be Capt Jags...

"This is how I start an attack"

 

[BlueToff]

What I'd like him to play:

Pickford

Kenny
Holgate
Williams
Martina (purely as there's no one else)

Gueye
Rooney

Walcott
Sigurdsson
Bolasie

Tosun


What I reckon Sam will play

Pickford

Kenny
Holgate
Williams
Martina

McCarthy
Gueye

Walcott
Rooney
Sigurdsson

Tosun

Aye, only one change in the two line-ups, but one that I think would make a lot of difference

 

[Abraders]

Booo

I'd switch Bolasie for Lookman in your preferred line up but otherwise spot on.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Well we know Garbutt wasn't in u23 squad midweek and is also now listed on the first team squad page on the official site. No point having him sat on the bench because, well, who subs full backs unless they're injured? And we won't ever change the line up from 4 at the back to 3 at the back during a game, so surely if he's available he must be starting.

Right? Right?

 

[Stanley Parker]

Do I have to go?

 

[Ring master]

Everton win 2-1 with tosun scoring winner

 

[Igrok]

We will shut diwn their potent offence...

 

[People75]

Ffs, if walnut is playing, we have like two potential strikers, on the pitch.

What the heck is going on.

 

[neil999]

i wonder if holgate might go to full back with the mistakes kenny has been making...

 

[MarkK1988]

ive got a strange overriding sense of optimism we'll win by a few goals, tosun and walcott will bag and everything will seem alright with the world

then well lose 2-0 to leicester at the end of the month

Gotta play Keane as a two tall central defenders are required. Holgate's speed not needed against a slow
WBA attack.
