................Pickford............... ..Manquillo..Kone..Bodji..PvA.... .............Pienaar.....Kirchoff..... ...Watmore....Khazri.....Januzaj ..................Defoe............ Kirchoff if fit, if not Denayer if he can play there, if not move Bodji forward and Denayer back or both back and PVA forward. I`m getting in a reet tangle here. Moyes needs to have a word with Manquillo though. When he`s taking throw ins he`s throwing the ball to our own players. Needs to pack that in it keeps catching them by surprise.
I can't have Watmore in the team, at the moment. An impact sub at best. I'd go very similar, mind. I'd have Rodwell in the team, he's done alright so far this season, and could up his game again for Everton. When we attack and the full backs go forward, then Kirchhoff drops back to form a back 3. ---------------------- Pickford --------------------- Manquillo -- Kone -- Bodj -- Van Aanholt --------------------- Kirchoff ---------------------- --------------- Rodwell - Pienaar -------------- --- Januzaj --------------------------- Khazri --- ---------------------- Defoe ----------------------- Subs: Star Trek Denayer O'Shea Gooch Watmore Asoro Honeyman
I doubt Hoff will be fit enough to start, Khazri may also still be a bit fat, so I expect Moyes to go: ---------------------- Pickford --------------------- Manquillo -- Kone -- Bodj -- Van Aanholt -----------------------Rodwell ---------------------- --------------- Gooch--------Pienaar ------------ -- Watmore ------------------------ Januzaj -- ---------------------- Defoe -----------------------
Start Karhzi and have him run 'til he drops then bring on Duncan. It's a way to get him fitter and young Duncan is a natural impact dub.
I agree with you about Watmore. I`d much rather see him as an impact sub. The reason I put him there is because I don`t agree with you about Rodwell. He`s had 2 years to `up his game`. I think that`s long enough. I`d rather he went than Lens tbh. Gooch might be a better option to start & Watmore take over but we`re not exactly spoilt for choice. Might be forced into it anyway if Kirchoff isn`t fit. McNair might have to come in somewhere. That MF`s a bloody nightmare mate.
He's done well in spells I agree but he's lost the ball quite a bit and have noticed his tally of bookings already is largely due to this. If we don't want to be fighting relegation yet again at best we need him being on the bench, we are carrying too many passengers at the minute.
Khazri or go 442 with Asoro up front with Defoe. Everton have some big centre backs, get the ball in and around them on the floor and they'll struggle.
So then a 4-3-3 would be better? If we do go 4-4-2 and you drop Khazri. Who would replace him on the wing?
We need those three to be working on some set piece routines to win headers and block people off. None of our forward line will win may crosses so we should be trying to get Watmore, Januzaj, PVA etc behind defences. If we do that we'll need players coming onto anything cut back. Very simple tactics but we have to make the most of either situation.
