Finn balor Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 First game of the season and anything can happen. With Spurs having a good midfield I can see us playing 3-5-2 and packing the middle of the park but I'd rather play 4-3-3 with rom,Kev and Gerry causing havoc. I expect steck,Coleman,stones,Mori,holgate,Baines,gueye,Ross,Barry,Gerry,rom. Hope we get off yo a good start and the crowd get behind the lads. U can't help but get excited first game so gonna go for hard fought 2-1 late winner from Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rusty747 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 1-4 just like at the start of the 84-85 season. Hopefully followed by us finishing the season in the same place we finished the 84-85 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue 250 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) 1-4 just like at the start of the 84-85 season. Hopefully followed by us finishing the season in the same place we finished the 84-85 season. Well they do say it's not how you start it's how you finish, I remember winding up my red brother 3 games in and top of the league 1993-94 season......and we all know how that finished ! Patience is obviously needed and I'm willing to give our new manager at least untill half time against Spurs before we prove to be world beaters.

markjazzbassist Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 i think it will be a draw. first match of the season everyone is tentative and getting back into the business of football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 From what I have seen so far I don't see it ending well. Spurs still look pretty lively in pre-season and well... we don't! I think it will be important for Koeman to get off to a good start but I must admit I do fear a tonking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be important for Koeman to get off to a good start but I must admit I do fear a tonking. Remember how we beat Southampton 3-0 away early last season? Slow start appears to be Koeman's trademark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Remember how we beat Southampton 3-0 away early last season? Slow start appears to be Koeman's trademark. And they looked really really poor.. I wouldn't be surprised if we do Spurs. It's the Everton way really, we will do Spurs, get our hopes up and take 2 points for the bext 3 or something. For me though the team mentioned before has 4 match winners in it for me ( Rom, Ross, Kev and Gerry ) we keep it tight at the back and I have every bit of confidence that those 4 will make something happen.

Keith B Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Excited for this but I don't have a good feeling about the match. We are going to have multiple new faces to integrate in a matter of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 with the departure of stones and williams just getting back to fitness i'm thinking this might be it Stekelenberg Coleman Holgate/Jags Mori Baines Gana Barry Gerry Barkley Mirallas Lukaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I reckon it will be a 3-5-2 Steklenburg Jags. Williams. Mori Coleman. Gana. Barkley. Barry. Mirallas Gerry. Lukaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Koeman says Everton are 70% ready for the start of the season. Adds that when he was at Southampton the team was 100% ready. Fitness is obviously shite. I'd read he'd ordered 3 sessions a day for the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 coleman and lukaku out, so here are my 2 new lineups: 4231 Stekelenberg Holgate Jags Mori Baines Gana Barry Lennon Barkley Mirallas Gerry 352 Stekelenberg Holgate Jags Mori Lennon Gana Barkley Barry Baines Gerry Mirallas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Have to be this for me. Stek Holgate - Jags - Mori - Baines Gana - Barry - Barkley Mirallas - Gerry - Lennon Confuse Spurs with Gerry up top. It'll be 4231 with the same players though man. That amount of pace up front will put a lot of pressure on Spurs, hopefully. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Looking forward to getting back to Goodison and seeing the people I sit by. However, I'm not looking forward to the actual game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 So Jags is going to be ready to play? I'd think about starting Tarashaj up top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 So Jags is going to be ready to play? I'd think about starting Tarashaj up top. Now that is a good shout. In all the transfer excitement I had completely forgotten him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Only having the squad 70% ready isn't good enough IMO given how long he has been working with them this summer. Sounds like a ready made excuse. Edited August 11, 2016 by Bailey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
