Match Thread Ruzomberok vs Everton, Thursday 3rd August, 7.45pm

[Walter Ego]

He played rb last season during a game and has done so for the under 23s i believe as well a fair few times

Yes I know. Thanks bud. Tell me something though, on Sundays do you do your homework before or after you've had a bath?

Well we can lob formations about, but seeing the players picked to start, I think its a fair shout to say the Boss aint taking this competition lightly.

That makes me happy.

I can't recall which game it was but he did very well.

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

I like this line up very much.

 

[Wat Tyler]

He's playing Rooney and Sandro up top as a two

Yes!

3 at the back eh?Nice surprised there's no Holgate in the three mind, but since their tactic is to hoof big balls into our box it makes sense.

 

[granter79]

3 at the back

Early goal please you blues !

 

[Coggy]

I like the team announced. Bit worried about pace at the centre of the defence. However think that we will get an away goal, and can't see them getting three.

Weird team it's either:

Pickford
Keane Jags Williams
Davies-----------------Baines
Schneiderlin---Gueye
Klassen
Rooney----Sandro
​

Or maybe:

Pickford
Keane Jags Williams Baines
Schneiderlin
Gueye-----Klassen
Rooney------------Davies
Sandro
​

Can't believe he's still doing the whole 4 CMs garbage though

..I want to see us get regularly in the top third and create chances. We didn't do that in lots of games last season, we didn't do it in the home leg. At times we're too pedestrian, I want to see us break quickly and get the ball to the creative players we have up top.

I'm happy when we create chances.

Quite like when we play the back 3

...surely Keane won't be RB.

Right side of a back three I think

Same here mate, just weird that Davies is a makeshift wingback though.

Kenny, Martina and Holgate all available.
