Match Thread Everton v West Bromwich Albion - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

Beating Spurs away sent a message. Beating these at home would send a bigger message.

Interesting that it was a 4231 on the weekend with Gomes allowed further forward in the sort of 10 role but also coming back to do midfield duties.

I thought Gomes was very good on the weekend and would keep the same team overall.

I think it would be interesting to see Sigurdsson in that 10 role there, maybe 20 mins or so if we are up. Now that I prefer James on the right hand side, Sig would be really good with James feeding him. Sig had to do too much of the creative work previously, and now he can get in position and have someone feeding him. Great striker of the ball.

Is that how you saw it? I thought it was just a 4-3-3 on a slant myself.

Anyone reckon we can nick a draw today?

West Brom were atrocious last week, so we need to be looking to put a fair few past these. A strong performance with a comfortable victory would build confidence.

Looking forward to this match today. Not very often over the past while that I have said that. Interested to see how we will cope with a team sitting back looking for a 0 - 0. Given the talent and variety we now have I am expecting us to be getting in behind the fullbacks, I am expecting through balls and I am expecting players to carry the ball forward, basically total football. 3 - 0 is my prediction.

Yeh I just mean this is the kinda game standard Everton would somehow lose.

Aye, I totally agree as we've fluctuated for a few seasons now with no real sense of consistency bar small patches here and there - end of Silva' first season.

A win is the most important thing as it'd be great to build up consistency and momentum. For the fans however, a solid win would really boost quiet optimism.

When was the last time we were top of the league? We have fallen so far that I am excited to be top after two games!!

 

[GwladysBlue]

Please don’t mess this up, blues. At them straight from the off. A goal early on will lure them out.

Get the job done, 2-0 win, thank you.

I’m really excited. Woke up absolutely buzzing to watch the blues again.
My many years of Everton tells me this is going to end in tears!

Allan, Doucouré and Rodriguez haven’t been watching Everton for years. They have no fear and won’t have 39000 Evertonians pumping it into them from the first minute.

Thought Gomes started really well but then faded. Gordon for me on the left side after his midweek display. But think carlo will go for the same team to start with
