Match Thread Everton Vs Man Utd - FA Cup Semi Final - Wembley - Sat 23rd April - KO 17:15

[Ashtonian]

I'd imagine it's 442 style with lennon further up the pitch

 

[Jxg]

Why?

McCarthy at right back, we are going to get slaughtered. If anyone though Oviedo was bad...

 

[Lukaku'sLeftTesticle]

Besic CB?

With no natural right back Lennon will be doing the opposite mate, holding back and tracking back as much as possible.

 

[Tubey]

I'm very confused. Can anybody please explain the starting line-up to me? It would appear Jags and Stones are CB, with Baines LB. But Gibson RB?

Won't be Gibson, no pace and not mobile enough.

Only two options - McCarthy RB, or Stones with Besic centre half.

i would have played Pennington RB tbf

 

[Walken]

hopefully its mcarthy right back, would honestly rather play youngsters in their proper positions than shoehorning people in

 

[eurosrees]

I'm betting that 10 mins in, this will be the formation:

Joel
Stones, Jagielka, Baines
Gibson, Besic
Barkley. Cleverley
Lennon












Lukaku

Only other logical option is Stones with Besic CB, but why would you split up the first choice centre halves?

 

[savillesu11s]

surely it will be besic at rightback?

 

[dublinbluenose]

no alternative forward on the bench either, suppose Kev can go up top if need be. 3 defenders on the bench, clearly not expecting Jags to last

Same.

Think its the latter. Besic moved to cb on wednesday and has played it before

 

[Wat Tyler]

Might be three at the back lids

Probably banking on him making it to half time then taking him off
