Everton Thread - 2021/22

I think most evertonians wanted a young manager who is eager to make his mark and has an idea on what he expects on the field- so Lampard fits the bill on that one. Is he an improvement on our previous manager-undeniably so.
I don't even think he has to be a great manager at this moment in time- we need stability on and off the pitch and only time will tell on how he progresses. Most of all we need points from our next few games. The game on Saturday and away to Newcastle in a week will tell us whether we are up for a fight.

Alli, Iwobi, Richarlison, the arrested one, Gray, Townsend, DVDB.

An imbalanced squad!

Gray and Townsend are obviously wingers

Richarlison is a striker.

Iwobi is neither a midfielder nor a 10 nor a winger. He’s just nothing.

VDB and Alli are quite similar but If 1 works out the other can just support them, not like they’ve committed anything.

I expect it’ll be Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Godfrey, Mykolenko, Allan, Doucore, Alli or VdB, Gray, DCL, Richarlison

Not unbalanced at all.

Hmm.

Gray, Townsend and Richarlison are deep forwards that roam. I.e. number 10s.

Iwobi would say he was a number 10. We all know he’s crap everywhere though.

VDB and Alli are totally different players. Alli in the Fellaini mould and VDB more of a playmaker.

Apart from that, I don’t disagree with you,

Not having Townsend as a number 10 mate. He’s a winger.

If Iwobi was a horse he’d be put down.

Must be a mystery how often Townsend shoots from distance centrally then!

I would be surprised if Coleman starts as first choice.

Cuts inside from the wing.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Cuts inside from the wing.

Like a roaming number 10, you mean?

He has more shots than crosses.

He has more shots than crosses.

Like a winger who cut insides.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Like a winger who cut insides.

And doesn’t cross?

You say a winger that always cuts in, I say a roaming number 10. Same thing really.

A winger who doesn’t try to get to the byline, but cut back in and shoot every time.

Number 10. ;-)
