Starting 11 vs Stoke as it stands

[DRAGONZ_RULE]

Pickford
Jags, Keane, Williams
Martina Baines
Davies, Morgan, Gana,
Klaasen, Rooney
Sandro


Haven't a clue to be honest, would just rather to this than work.....

If you're able to get this 12 man line-up across the line with the FA, then I reckon you're onto a winner, haha.

The reality is that, unless Koeman decides to play a 4-1-2-1-2 midfield diamond, then 1 of Davies, Schneiderlin, Gana or Klaassen will miss out on the starting line-up. They will likely all spend time rotating through to ensure they are all fresh. I would expect Morgan and Gana to play the most minutes of those 4 this season given the defensive base is the most important part of any properly functioning midfield.

 

[Verbal Kint]

From what started tonight only 2 changes. Sandro for DCL and Pickford for Stek.

Wouldn't be what id go for but RK is the gaffer.

 

[Huyton Layne]

He's got to drop Williams is Jags or Besic can jog and jump.

Element of wishful thinking with Gylfi . Won't start even if we do buy him which seems in the balance

 

[KaiserEFC]

Not Williams.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Davies in for Gana?

I want us to move on from playing two defensive midfielders every single game.

Did you not watch last night? Him and Schneiderlin play completely different roles.

 

[MikeH72]

If we're being serious, Martina is not able to start any Premier League games.

 

[Pete Campbell]

Davies in for Gana?

Yeh its one of Gana and Morgan in my opinion.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Did you not watch last night? Him and Schneiderlin play completely different roles.

Wouldn't say completely different.

We don't need the two of them against lesser teams at Goodison.

Hahahaha!!!

I thought it looked good!!!
I'm a muppet

Went 4 at the back then switched to 5 - the old switch-a-roo!

Having watched Williams last night I wouldn't trust him in a 2. Looks a liability.

Morgan and Gana lacks a bit of creativity but if we get a few more deals done it could change things again so who knows.

If Williams stays fit, he will start most of the games next season.

Starts fit, he looked like he had been on a 72 hour pie eating binge by the look at him last night . We need a left sided central defender asap.

We certainly shouldn't need to do this against a depleted and slightly blunt Stoke side. And that probably goes for every other team who finished below us last season too.
