Formation

[raib]

We keep playing 4-2-3-1. Today we had to wait until the 93 minute for us to get the winner. 82nd against west ham, and 85 minute against villa.

Most of the teams after just defending all the time at Goodison and trying to catch us on the break.
We have to wait very late on to get the winners, but we keep playing the same formation.

Maybe try 4-1-3-2 or 3-5-2 (I know we tried it against Norwich and nearly messed the game up), but we need a plan B, so we are not having to wait so late for winners, because if your luck is out, then we will not win these games. I would like to see us play 2 strikers just to see how we get on.

Why we continue to play 2 holding midfielders at home against utter tosh is beyond me.

We need a new type of centre mid for this to work.

I must of missed the moment when Everton were suddenly not satisfied with just winning games. Late winners are not enough, now we must score them in the 70th minute or change our style.

Hmm could work depending on how much help he gets from the other midfielders. Noone to pick a pass either.

It's to allow our fullbacks more freedom. It isn't necessarily negative. I doubt we'd have the top scoring full backs in the league if we didn't have 2 holding midfielders.
