What's your starting eleven?

[MartyMcFly]

Now the transfer window is over (thank god for that). What is everyone's starting 11?

Mine is:

Lukaku
Mirallas Barkley Deulofeu
Barry Gana
Baines Williams Jags Coleman
Stek​

I hate to say it but I don't find a place for Bolasie but I think he will still be a good signing because in some games I would like to see us try.

Lukaku
Bolasie Deulofeu Mirallas
Barkley Gana
Baines Williams Jags Coleman
Stek​

 

[Brendan Janus]

No place for Gibson, shocking !!

Problem with Geri and Kev (more so) they can't seem to last a full 90m without looking knackered

Yep time to focus on the team and move on. Thats the one... Davies to get game time as first sub for a DFM, Bolasie interchangeable with Deulofeu and Holgate first choice defender to come on next. Would love to see RK brave enough to give Davies a start in a few games. Wish we still had Galloway.

I doubt Bolasie will be on bench much due to
record signing an all that not exactly young

Think Koeman expects a very high work rate out of our wingers, and probably will rotate them, even regularly subbing between them in games.
Holgate has really impressed. I'd say between Coleman's recent performances and Holgate's, I'd honestly take Holgate. He's been superb.

Would maybe replace Valencia on the bench for Kone, we know what Kone is all about, where as we have no idea how Valencia would play for us, of course we can guess, but you never know how, there might be a vast improvement.

I also doubt Davies will be used much unless injury due to his major involvement in the U23s.

Play the youth

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Stek
Holgate Jagielka Williams
Coleman Barry Gana Barkely Baines
Mirallas Lukaku

Subs: Robles, Mori, McCarthy, Cleverley, Bolasie, Deulofeu, Valencia.

Big fan of the back 3 with wing backs. I know this is rather defensive and there aren't many goals in the team but I think it's solid.

Alternative -
Stek
Coleman Jags Williams Baines
Barry Gana Barkley
Mirallas Lukaku Bolasie

How to get Goodison rocking:

Do a Leicester. 4-4-1-1

Bolasie and Delefeou on the wing, loads of crosses into Rom, with plenty of over the tops from Gaz Baz to mix it up. Ross in the support man role, nicking the bits and pieces. Williams and Jags doing the action man heroics at the back, and Gana calmly robbing any roaming David Silva's and the like.

Mirallas, Valencia and Lennon off the bench when we're losing, at which point we go mental with the hoofs and harrying. Wish we still had Fellaini actually but I reckon Funes can try and replicate his maniacal brand of aerial domination when need be.

All of a sudden a few injuries and those unused players send shudders down me
