Match Thread Fleetwood Town v Everton, Wednesday 23rd September, 7.45pm

[Charles Hawtrey]

Playing both first choice CBs makes me a bit nervous but not sure we could risk starting Gibson. Can't see us starting DCL though. Give Kean one more crack and put Walcott RW.

Hopefully Nkounkou and Gordon are on fire again and give Kean something to feed on.

we risked playing Digne at CB for most of the game in the last round.......

 

[Glasshalffull]

Why do people want to play Delph?

Well I guess to avoid risking injury to a real player, and on the outside chance that if he proves that his legs work, someone will take him off our hands. Not saying that's valid, but think it's what is going on in people's heads.

 

[Lelouch]

Might have to play 1 or 2 seniors if Salford is anything to go by.

 

[Caolam]

We need to go with a team that will win. This is a competition we could go a long way in, it is a delicate balance need to give players a rest but we need to win.
I would go with

Virginia
Kenny
Mina
Gibson ( with Keane on the bench)
Nkounkou
Siggy
Iwobi
Doucoure
Gordon
Kean
Walcott

I would have a strong bench, but I would include Bolasie on the off chance he might catch someone’s eye in a cameo appearance.

 

[Terrarian]

Knowing our look Delph will pick up another injury that means we can't shift him regardless.

Pickford
Kenny Keane Gibson Nkounkou
Doucoure Davies Sigurdsson
Iwobi Kean Gordon​

Glad we're getting these rounds played quickly. You want them out of the way, especially given there'll be no fans.

 

[Tromos]

Id go for this, wanna see what Bolasie has left, rest of line up I think will be similar to salford.

Yes same here, would help the squad if he would show up knuckle down to job he was originally bought for(think he's still only around 30 yrs old?)surely must have something left in the tank ...Can't have too many wingers in Carlo's set up...

Regards

Feels weird looking forward to Everton games.

A good point, well made.

 

[MACCA75]

I’ll be amazed if Delph is actually in the squad. Just feel that Carlo isn’t having him at all.

 

[Toffee222]

I think I would play-

Virginia
Kenny Keane Gibson Nkounkou
Sigurdsson Doucoure Gordon
Iwobi Kean Bernard

Very strong bench again as he knows this is a great chance to advance to the later stages.

Feels weird looking forward to Everton games.

I'll check back on you in a month

 

[carolinablue232]

Pickford
Kenny Mina Keane Nkounkou
Sigurdsson Doucoure Davies
Bernard Kean Gordon

Let Nkounkou and Gordon pair up on the left again and put them on their heels. Hopefully Walcott and/or Bolasie are on their way out by game time.

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

really would prefer the CBs be nowhere near this, Mina especially is too injury prone.

Wouldn’t mind giving Richy a start to bag a goal and get him going, otherwise I’m fine with the second unit
