Right, sod you lot. I'm bringing the optimism.

C'mon Everton, we're gonna smash them!!

yeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrs

but it would be nonsense to play Lukaku out wide. The closer to the box he is, the better.

"OMG BOBBY PLAY TWO STRIKERS YOU FRAUD."

Plays two strikers.

"KOFF MARTINEZ WHERE ARE ALL THE WINGERS? GET OUT OUR CLAB."

 

[quasi modo]

4 defenders, 4 midfielders and 2 strikers.

Sounds, all central like.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

"I want us to play two strikers..." Plays two strikers

"WTF's going on playing two strikers"

 

[FTY]

Getting on the beers now to ease the pain after seeing that lineup... Taking the expect the worst, anything better is a bonus approach to this one

 

[ArtetaMoney]

Cleverly is boss out wide, why is everyone fumedawg?

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Did RM ever have a plan A Doug?

Death by a thousand cuts Joe!

My brother noticed when he came on last week he looked so slow to the last time he seen him before the leg break not fit again probably!

He has definitely looked rusty pre season, ease him back slowly I guess, the lad Has missed too much football.

Sounds, all central like.

There might be a keeper in there somewhere as well

 

[riddick]

Diamond formation?

 

[angrysoba]

I like that team. Kone and Lukaku to start. Naismith to come on later in the game, as well as Mirallas and Delefeu if we need. Alternatively we have defensive midfield options in Besic.

That said, I nearly always become excited at the team line-up.

 

[Deco]

Well.. we asked for a change and we got it lol
