If he was fit I'd have played DCL and have Sigurdsson left, with DCL up top with Tosun.

But it doesn't look like he will be fit, so it's a balancing act.

I'd be happy to go with Dowell, Lookman, Gylfi, but it doesn't leave us with many options to change the game if needed.

It also leaves our defence massively exposed.
...what else is new?
 
West Ham will definitely fancy their chances of actually winning this with our absolutely ridiculous and ever increasing injury list. Makes this an even more important game now. We just cannot be drawing or losing at home against a team that is bottom of the league with out a single point and have only scored 2 goals and had 10 scored against them. Win is the only acceptable result no matter how big our injury list is. Just hope that the players/team that is available and put out there are really up for it and put their best efforts in. If we do, then we should win comfortably but then this is Everton and nothing is ever simple.

COYB's !!!
 
Massive set back which then puts pressure on getting unexpected results elsewhere if we don’t win this.

People won’t look and give a hoot about our injury list, it will just look like we are still bang average.
 
...if Dowell doesn’t get a game on Sunday it’s hard to see him ever getting a game.

Dowell has a proven partnership with Kenny, so that seems an obvious way to go, leaving Sigurdsson in his best position. I imagine Davies will start.

I doubt Bernard is ready and not sure if Gueye is fit.

Yeh, understand your points here, but we need width and pace without Theo and Ricco, not too sure dowell is the answer,.Bernard has come on as a sub already a few weeks ago so surely must be fit by now?!


Gana, not sure, didn't play the international game a week and a half ago due to injury and was sent back to FF so I am quite optimistic.

Anway, will await the presser I suppose

Played 10 minutes - his first time on a pitch since March.

Then he picked up an injury in training. I doubt he'll be fit enough to start.
 
Remember how brutal this fixture can be off the field lads, stay safe.
