Starting 11 for 1st Premiership game of season?

[BlueToff]

What's all this Deulofeu upfront nonsense, Mirallas up front would be a slightly better bet, which is where he played for Olympiacos, & scored many a goal for them !!

Since Del has been playing there all pre-season and is next to hopeless on the left...

 

[Bagpuss]

Think with what Koeman has said we will go 3-5-2.
Steck
Holgate - Jags - Mori
Lennon - Barkley - Gueye - Barry - Mirallas
Lukaku - Deulofeu

If Lukaku isnt fit Baines comes in as wing back and Mirallas plays further forward with Geri.

Steck has not done anything to impress me last week 2 Nd half a cross on the penalty spot came hesitated it hit their player on the shin fortunately it went straight into his arms aka Timmy mk 2 IMO!
Not been tested enough no difference to Robles IMO no improvement there watch this space!

looked good in the friendly against MK and against utd, we will see

This keeper was at the mighty Fulham aged 33 it's a desperate signing IMO it proved then our war chest had woodworm in it!

Let's wait and see his temperament in a Prem game, no better than Robles IMO in fact may be worse under pressure lmo !

No chance Baines isn't starting mate

Yep, your probably right. will likely be Baines for Mirallas or for Lukaku depending on fitness. Doesnt look a bad team on paper but the lack of depth and people to bring on to change a game for you is frightening when you look at it.

Only 70 percent ready he says.

No excuses we have had all summer to get players in and out

 

[everton2004]

Doesn't matter what we start with on Saturday - there'll be plenty ready to to boo the team when we're not 3 up after 10 minutes. Everton doesn't deserve nice things - too many melts amongst the supporters ready to cry and whine no matter what the club does.

Stek
Coleman Williams jags Baines
Barry McCarthy
Del. Barkley Kev
Lukaku

If Lukaku does miss out, which is looking likely, I'm looking forward to having Gerri up front. He'll keep their back four on their toes and Pochettino may not set them up to press right up against him because of the speed.

Holgate *should* replace Coleman if he misses out. Solid defensively and proved himself - to an extent - this pre-season. Of course, he doesn't offer a whole lot going forward but then you could allow Baines to bomb on and move Holgate over into a 3 at the back while attacking, doubling up on the Spurs counter-attack.

With that in mind:

Stekelenburg
Holgate Jagielka Funes Baines
Barry Gana
Barkley
Lennon Gerri Mirallas

If Coleman and Lukaku make it:

Stekelenburg
Coleman Jagielka Funes Baines
Barry Gana
Barkley
Gerri Lukaku Mirallas
