Match Thread Everton v West Ham. 5th March at 1500.

[Azza]

Trying Stones in Barry's position maybe?

Eric Dier v2.0

 

[BlueToff]

Just do not get why is experiment against WH . Is Barry sick or somthing

I think it may be down to Barry not being 100% and RM trying a different style at home (which is what everybody has asked for).

 

[Petit]

3-4-3? 3-6-1?

The former suggests more directness and but the latter more side-ways passing.

3 at the back effectively gives West Ham an extra man in midfield today.. Payet will have a field day. Hope I'm wrong, but strange decision.

 

[BlueToff]

Unless Barry isn't fit can't agree with the lineup. Stones doesn't deserve to be in the team ahead of him at the moment.

rumours he missed training yesterday with a chest infection (like Clev) so may not be 100%

3-4-3? 3-6-1?

The former suggests more directness and but the latter more side-ways passing.

neither of them suggest anything

@Mikey_Fitzgerald thinks this is 5-2-3 and thinks Bobby is a mad genius or just mad.

 

[Ring master]

who cares what the team is,just lets get the win thats all that matters,if it comes from playing well -thats brilliant,if we win playing crap,its the sign of a good team lol

Why change the back 4?
Complete lack of minerals from Bobby to tell stones to sit on the bench till he gets his chance due injury or bad performances.
Do one brown shoes.

Besic is back and so's McCarthy. No he won't.

This is the formation Martinez has wanted to play for a long-time. Tried it briefly toward the end of the Villa game and we didn't look comfortable with it. However I'm happy to see it given another chance. We need to start making other teams react to us rather than us reacting to them.

Saying we could get hammered and I'll be the first one giving Roberto stick.

I'm shallow - I know but I can't help myself.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

id rather it be stones in barrys place then 3 at the back.

 

[Ashtonian]

Formation is fine.

Defence we have 5 to hold strong. Attack we get two full back with chance to get further forward.

Hope it works today!

Besic is back and so's McCarthy. No he won't.

So why not play both?

Besic will struggle to stop him from the bench..
