Match Thread Reading vs. Everton - Tuesday 22nd Sept - Capital One Cup Third Round - 20:00 KO

[Bungle]

Lets get 12 pints of Stella into Gibson at half time and send him on to plough through their defence

 

[Jags..class]

The whole shape is wrong. Osman does my head in sometimes, Lukaku needs to work harder, is he sulking?. Del is trying, so is Lennon. Barkley needs more help

Ass, balls, gooch.

There.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Triple sub time..

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

We've not been awful, just think a formation change would help. Ross has all the time in the world on the ball in the middle third but doesn't have enough options when Reading squeeze further up the pitch.

 

[deipnosophist]

I wonder if The Lisbon is showing COC games?

 

[Professor Toffee]

Robels has made a few decent save in that half. Their keeper, on the other hand, has been reading a book

Reading a book or reading a book ?

 

[Sy-]

I swear there must be like 25 different versions of this broadcast going on based on reading here and listening to the stream.

I think the underlying multiplier is that there is about 3 different versions of formation going on on the pitch and nobody seems to know what area of the pitch they are supposed to be covering, nor have any basic instructions.

...I assume Lukaku literally standing around waiting for the ball while refusing to make any space for himself features in all 25 of your versions though.

Why is RM playing Delafoue and Lennon on the same flank? Switch Del to left side and replace Osman with Naismith.

Do you reckon he's pumped?

 

[Xenimus]

Get Leandro and Browning on for Osman and Kone, Browning RB lennon LW

I'd like to think this is how we would have lined up if not for an injury/fitness issue. If this was by choice I have to seriously question what roberto was thinking. At least as far as Browning at FB and Lennon at LW/RW.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Music at h-t is awful too

 

[Groucho]

Ass, balls, gooch.

There.

Always
Be
Good

And stay on topic please lads.

Triple sub time..

Given our knack of picking up injuries that could see us end up with 8 players on the pitch after 90 minutes.

 

[faddy the blue]

??? We played 4-4-2 for most of that half.

With Lennon trying to be Coleman. This was a 3-5-2 with Mori at LWB. Put Mori along Jags, Stones goes RB and Galloway at LB. Lennon and Del either wings with Barkley and Mccarthy at CM. Take Kone off and get Naismith off for heading and stuff. Proper 4-4-2.
