Everton's Best Centre Half Pairing

[RichardP]

Mina plus one.

Hopefully Ake or Lacelles from January. Cahill is likely to be available too - Gary, not Tim. Though either could be a better option.

 

[RichardP]

Ratcliff and Mountfield.

Ratcliffe and Mountfield, in their prime, were superb. And Degsy would weigh in with 10 goals a season for us too. Hopefully Mina scores a few for us too.

 

[Kurt.]

Everyone saying Mina.... he’s not even played a game for us so far... he could be all Titus bramble

Mina plus one.

Hopefully Ake or Lacelles from January. Cahill is likely to be available too - Gary, not Tim. Though either could be a better option.

Cahill? Mate he's 33 and finished. Doesn't get luck in anywhere atm. Him and mina wouldn't exactly be the most mobile of defences. Ake or lascelles would do nicely to be fair

Think a striker is the main priority in the next window. That and a midfielder who can pass the ball ( that could be gomes tbf)

 

[Nymzee]

You want to say Mina and Zouma but we haven’t seen Mina and he could be worse than the lot.

Holgate is pants

Well it's either him, grandad Jags or 50p bonce Keane.

 

[mahermi1]

The way we play with our fullbacks pushed up high, would it not be worth a try to have Holgate, Mina and Zooma as a three ? Especially at against the likes of Arsenal.

 

[Cameron Manning]

I don't think we have seen the best pairing yet, hopefully they will emerge before Christmas.

 

[Caolam]

I would go for Mina and Zouma, not because I think they would be better than anything we have but because I think they can't be worse.

Who do you reckon?

If all fit, and you had to give 2 a run for the next 10 games...

I'd be inclined to go Mina and Keane. (Think we're desperate to build some continuity/understanding across the defence and with Zouma being on loan with no option to buy)

I get what you're saying but I think we'll need the athleticism that Zouma brings.

Zouma and Mina for me.

 

[Barnfred 55]

I wouldn't read too much into Zouma having no option to buy.

He does well here I think we'll sign him up for around 20mil.

Got to go zouma/Mina when he's ready.

Coleman, Zouma, Mina, Digne is a very good defence on paper.

Bring back the paper pitches I say.

 

[Barnfred 55]

I don't think we would have signed him if Mina was fit.

Just as well we did though otherwise we'd have had Browning in the side for the last 3 games.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

How much "the" pair?

 

[SteRobbo84]

Keane is fast, but he lacks agility and the ability to anticipate anything. Zouma and Mina are probably it, although Mina is still REALLY RAW. Holgate's lack of concentration and decision making with the ball was just so poor last week, he just seems to be a bit far away. He's a terrific guy on the bench, though, as he can also play RB.

Whaaaaaaaat?!

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Mina and Zouma is my instinctive pick with the hope that keane continues his early season form and builds on it.
