Match Thread Everton vs Bournemouth 3pm Saturday 4th Feb

[bluestevon]

Love the amount fuming already at the team selection, we played 3 days ago, we now try to play a game at full pelt and pressing a Bournemouth team from the off for the full 90 is gonna be vital, so yeah happy with the team 100%, Imagine if we are up second half and can bring on Davies and Gana for Barry and McCarthy, will absolutely muller these today

not too sure on how we've lined up.. i'm worried Lukaku will get quite isolated here and i'm not sure the back four has worked for us this season.

That said we'll end up winning massively now i've said that.

I can see Baines and Coleman switching to WB during the attacks with Barry covering for Baines on the left and McCarthy for Coleman on the right, so it might become something like this:
Joel
Williams - Mori
McCarthy - Morgan - Barry
Coleman - Barkley - Baines
Lookman - Lukaku

That side will soon be changed as the game goes on imo no creativity in the midfield- Bournemouth are a funny side vulnerable , but capable two fast full backs let's see poor team selection imo!

 

[strummer]

Is Barry going to be the left sided centre back in a 3 here ? I've no complaints with the team but Davies can certainly consider himself unlucky not to be starting

I'm not sure about Mori in a 2-man partnership, but otherwise I'm happy with that team. Looking forward to seeing Lookman.

The exciting thing for me is having lookman start and Ross maybe being allowed a free role to influence the game more. Here's hoping.

 

[Duncan Disordely]

That central free offers a lot of freedom to Barkley and Lookman to play a very attacking game.

 

[USABlue]

I like it, davies and gana will probably come on in the 2nd half

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

Arsenal have dropped points, it could be a massive climb closer to them if we win.

barry schneiderlin mccarty. well i guess no one predicted that midfield

 

[RFUS]

Don't see the problem with the team. We played a few days ago so there was always going to be rotation. Plus he's started Lookman, which is bold.

Lookman for Miralles - good call.
Understand Holgate getting a rest, was out of sorts in mid week.

Barry and McCarthy is a strange one, didn't see it coming. Seems tactical, as if it was just for fresh legs, you'd think Gana would be in.

Interesting to see where Schneiderlin plays.

Totally but I don't think Davies is being pushed out, Koeman sees him as the future of the team.

I think McCarthy will be pushing on with Morgan next to Barry.

We shouldn't start him in every remaining match. He needs to be managed carefully and we have other great options.
