Gana gonna come off for Davies I think. Arsenal's diving has completely disrupted his game and he's only headed for another yellow at this rate.

 

[Gladystweet]

A point is not good enough. Not that we're going to hang on for a point like.

 

[toffee-L]

We're getting cut to pieces with 3 centre halves playing so there is absolutely no point in carrying on like this. Get Williams off as he's been booked and get Kev/Ade on to carry an actual threat on the left hand side, Gylfi doesn't have the pace on the break to play there.

 

[everton2004]

Niasse for DCL. The lad offers absolutely nothing.

Davies for Vlasic too.

Why? Vlasic has been one of the best on the pitch alongside Pickford.

 

[Jreverton1]

Keane has been gash

Really really poor

I actually didn't realise he was playing.

 

[paulbefc]

We haven't been bad. Played flashes of very good football. They're just a lot better than us and we're very fortunate to be level.

 

[lungo]

Trying to make Michael Keane play the Luiz role is up there with the stupider tactics I've seen

He is only able ro play deep with 4 at the back . Hes unable to presse high up the field. Surely the most immobile player in Everton history

 

[Ebrell22]

Realistically should be losing by a few

 

[sageyefc]

This.

I didn't mind the back three but it's being exposed.

Switch to a four (I'd take Williams off purely because of the booking, but I think Keane has been much worse) and get Davies in.

Vlasic on the right and Sig left, Rooney behind DCL.

Just presses us up the pitch a bit.

Would do miralles for sigurdson aswell, get some with to our play and an out ball. Don't rate siggy at all

 

[gonetomorrow]

What happened to a pressing game? It's route one up to a young lad at the moment.

But you just never know.

 

[jonnyboy316]

Win lose or draw playing like this every week is going to get us relegated

 

[BlueToff]

Goal aside and some aggression....we are awful.

Too many passengers, cowards, and bad footballers mixed in with some good individuals.

We're not.

We let them get the initiative but their goal came from a mistake by Baines who gave a crap pass when we were on the counter.

It's stupid mistakes that cost us. And we get scared.

Rooney's all-round play has been awful but he's got that moment of magic in him.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Williams hasn't marked anyone all game. Just drops deeper and deeper.

 

[faddy the blue]

We've given them far too much space to run at us from the midfield. Kenny and Williams have been horrible. Feel sorry for Kenny, to be put into a hot pan in such a tough game. That says it all as the boy is not ready for the RB slot in PL.

Williams and Gana are on a very thin edge. Maybe we can go back to a back 4, and put an extra man at CM. Maybe Davies can go along with Gana and try to close them down. I'd also bring Mirallas on so he can negate their attacks from the left or right wing.

 

[streeky]

If we are gonna play that long ball to dcl at least get some bodies around him
