Match Thread Olympique Lyonnaise v Everton

[DanB90]

I agree, Williams has probably been the most consistent player in the team and he's the first that needs dropping lol

It’s like they think he’s miraculously going to become un-crap and drop a few stone.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

He wants to disrupt and counter, but that won't happen if Morgs isn't on today. He has to be decisive

 

[heartscry2286]

ARE YOOUUUU REEAAADY to be HUUUUMBLLLLLLED??!

:-(

 

[Wat Tyler]

We don't have a single left footed outfield player in the entire squad, surely that's another first

Pickford

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Watching Sky Sports, the pundits are as confused as the rest of us talking about Everton's team selection lol

 

[StreetEndBlue]

Not playing a recognised striker when he has a few at his disposal is a bad joke.

Surely one of Sandro,DCL or Rooney should be leading the line.

Garbage from Unsworth.

 

[MikeH72]

Pickford

Suppose he classes as our best outfield player yeah.

 

[PeregrineT]

Maybe this is a work of unknowable genius? Maybe Unsworth doesnt care. I personally think its kind of insane. We are playing 3 RBs, 3 DMs, and no strikers. Now its true, Siggurdson has to be at least capable of striking the ball which DCL isnt, but hed actually have to get in position first, which DCL is good at.

Maybe the whole idea is to play very defensive with 3 defensive mids, pick off plays, and then just counter with fast wingers, which hopefully throws off the CBs enough and gets them out of position where Siggurdson doesnt have to worry about being a normal striker, and instead just finds space for them to cross it in to.

 

[marnie]

Looks like he was told he aint got the gig just before he filled the team sheet out.
Revenge at its finest

He might not even have the U23s to go back to with that selection.

 

[magicjuan]

getting this in early...

 

[Professor Toffee]

4-6-0 formation. I wonder if Unsy also gave Cahill a call to get him back for this one as a false No.9

Like Barcelona

 

[longers]

Woohoo Lookman starts for once, now watch us get bummed and him vanish for another couple months.

Can you imagine Allardyce or Dyche playing him, lol

That's a whole lot of straws you're clutching there...

Lennon started all 3 Unsworth games so far. Mad ting.

 

[PeregrineT]

I will say, on the plus side we FINALLY get to see what a team, however unbalanced, without Wayne "Attack killer" Rooney and Dominic "Ill do everything but score" Calvert-Lewin. They may be the two leading our line, but one has been effective at scoring and bad at everything else, and the other has been effective at everything BUT scoring.

If results matter, they SHOULD be benched. Im not saying there are better options, but gotta change something right?
