It's not two DM's though is it? It's just where they're positioned.

Shows how bad things were tactically, that when we played with 2 holding midfielders Gana was the one being asked to be the more offensive of the two when possible.

that might be a little too hopeful: it's a pity there's not a Formula Seven racing category...

I think the first thing to observe is that Williams is not a poor player , in fact before he arrived at Goodison he had been for much of his career a top player both domestically and on the international stage. So his failure to find form since his arrival here is either one of management or a problem of an ageing athlete, the truth is it's probably a blend of the two.
Could Guardiola restore his fortunes? Well if he is the great manager his supporters claim , he should be able to ,its a managers job to instruct and motivate players and as I've illustrated the really great managers can raise a players game.
However since Guardiola has only ever managed teams already laden with superlative players, it's hard to know whether this important aspect of management is one in which he also excels. Maybe one day he will challenge himself by managing a lower ranked club and then we can better judge if he is a great manager or merely a very good one.

I might be drawing something of a long bow here, but I suspect Blue Bill, being well aware of the unreliability of budget airlines keeping to their advertised flight schedules, has had Evertonians' best interests at heart in keeping us well out of these two-bit European competitions played in far flung places...
Indeed, people assume 4-2-3-1 is a defensive formation, mainly cos most managers play 2 holding midfielders in the 2, but if you play only 1 DM and put a number 8 as the 2nd player in the 2 it opens the formation up so much more.

No not having this. Williams is beyond redemption. Sell him or use him as hardcore for BMD foundations
Imagine if him or Mosh had laid on a couple of Everton liveried planes for the RS fans to get them to Kiev.

I think the Finch Farm cafeteria, in catering too much to Tubby Ashley's credo of breakfast being the most important meal of the day, has to shoulder some of the blame for his decline. Providing all-day full English breakfasts was, in hindsight, an ill-conceived idea.
And Fatty Koeman's not blameless in all this cafeteria mismanagement. Rumour had it that all our stout hearted lads had to wait in line behind the adipose- tissued Dutchman before scoffing their own scran. I suggest this adversely affected Tubby Ashley's sense of self-worth and consequently contributed to the decline in his playing fortunes.

You know Williams isn't fat, right?

In not one single post I've ever made about Tubby Ashley, is the word 'fat' mentioned.
