Not kovacic and gundo. Not the worst line up.

 

[skillman]

Nice to see McAtee rewarded again. Oh wait.

Pep reverting back from a goal threat with incisive movement to a player who plays backwards.

Just when I thought we’d hit a turning point after last week and his comments yesterday!

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Bernardo in for Kovacic and Savinho in for McAtee. Seems reasonable enough, no?

 

[Gorbachev]

I am taking that team. decent for what we have at the moment.

 

[jimharri]

Has Khusanov rattled Pep's missus?

I would have rather Mcatee started at RW with Savinho LW than Silva

She’s free to do what she wants now, Jim!

Definitely been taken out the limelight. We saw his quality but the media didn't and that's why he has been taken out in my opinion.

If you're referring to Bernardo, I'm fairly certain he's come in for Kovacic. It'll be the same system as before, with Savinho off the right wing.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

How’s Bernardo getting back into the team

 

[jimharri]

She’s free to do what she wants now, Jim!

Yep; that was announced several weeks ago. I was being ever so slightly sarky!

 

[Blue Smarties]

Feel for McAtee.

 

[Chak19]

Kovacic played well with Gundo and Nico last week, Silva has shown nothing all season.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

If Grealish is leaving why is he still in the squad? Just taking up space and Bobb misses out

 

[give it to gordon]

Perfer McAtee to Bernie. It's puzzling the way Pep treats McAtee

 

[Father Paul]

Bernardo in for Kovacic and Savinho in for McAtee. Seems reasonable enough, no?

Hopefully Bernie can row in with a goal but on balance you have to think Kovacic and McAtee are more likely to score. They must be disappointed but not surprised to be on the bench. Hard to see us get more than a point out of this unless Everton have a bad day.

More the fact Foden is back but yes shame Bobb isn’t there for a 10 minute spell at the end

 

[Bluearmy]

Cant believe he started Savinho and Bernardo ffs

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Bernado has been one of my favourite players over recent seasons but I can’t for the life of me think what he has done this season to be preferred to any one of McAtee, Doku or Grealish. Other than that, good line up

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Really hope Bobb hasn’t had another setback
