Everton (a) pre-match thread

[lasereyes]

nice try , we have won 2 drew 1 and lost 1 *(we were robbed in the League Cup semi-final) of our last 4 visits to Goodison Park , and overall Everton have beaten us ONCE in the last NINE meetings , the fact you didnt witness all these results doesnt mean they didnt occur. We have a decent recent record against them , since the Gargoyle left and Everton to their credit have tried to play football instead of kicking us off the park and i expect the same under Koeman . Obviously Everton will score with our invisible man in goal , so would settle for a 3-2 win.

I think Aguero and KDB may take issue with that

With respect I think the Merseyside Derby probably pips them both.



True, but tricky opposition, and the ones we lost were a late goal by Liverpool and conceded 2 quick goals after leading Leicester, who as you know can be a handful. Our biggest problem is not falling apart, as we're not as strong mentally as we were under Moyes.

That's fair. My post was in reply to someone saying you'd won 4 in the last 5, which isn't the case.

...not even a little bit?

That's unlike you.

No :)

As Bane would say: “For you.”

Get Kompany in.

Play 352

Sterling up front with Kun.

Not a fan of the 3-5-2 and we only seemed to play well with that system against Chelsea.

I'd rather go 4-1-2-1-2 again with the diamond and keep Sterling and Aguero together up top. The defence seems more settled with 4 at the back too.

Our best performance of the season used 3 at the back and it was against Everton

Re-sign JOE.

Sell Willy.

Winner takes all between Joe & Claudio with runner up promised all cup games plus 10? PL games,which could be 25 games a season.
Take an 'Option to Purchase'on Pickford or the young Italian lad with the long name.

Claudio tutors all the keepers in the 11th outfield player role favoured by Pep,we have goalkeeping cover plus succession planning,and economically it works for everyone.

Is there a substantially better resolution. The rest of the PL would be sick !!

Fair enough. We were excellent in that game.

But we didn't win... ;-)
