markjazzbassist Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Not even sure what lineup we will see here. Cup match so i'm not sure if Sunderland is going to take it seriously or go for the promotion and slag off the cup. First teamers trying to grow the chemistry or second teamers to see who should get some starting time? That's the question for me. I'd play this lineup 433 Pickford Holgate Keane Jags Baines Davies Schneiderlin Gana Gylfi Sandro DCL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubecula Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I think Davies is likely to start again Not sure about the rest of the team though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Could be the chance to experiment. Pickford Holgate... Keane..... Jagielka.... Baines Vlasic .... Davies ... Besic... Mirallas D C Lewin .... Sandro We have to try and find players who want to go forward, and who want to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elston Gunnn Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Like MJB, I don't know what sort of lineup Koeman will go with. The Sunderland match is near the middle of 6 matches in 18 days, and it's the first of 4 matches in 12 days. Koeman has somewhere in the past few days referred to this busy scheduled and that he has to rotate the squad somewhat. That seems obvious and sensible to me; others may disagree. We're at a very delicate moment. We desperately need a win, yet for me this is the least important of our 4 straight Goodison matches. I don't totally discount the League Cup, but at this specific time and in these specific circumstances, EPL and EL matches take priority. Rooney needs a rest, Baines, too (good luck on selecting Baines's replacement). I hope we are capable of beating Sunderland - near the Championship relegation zone themselves - even with a lot of rotation. I'd like to see ......

Bill Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Lukaku got ahead of everyone after his antics for the past 3 seasons, don't see why Mirallas shouldn't,. Can't play any worse than what our players are at the mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 We need to see some consistency. I saw enough today to show that 5 can work, it's all about higher pressure and being the dominant team instead of sitting back. Pickford. Kenny Holgate Keane Jags Baines Besic Davies Gana Vlasic DCL Bench Stek / Martina / Williams / Klaasen / Lookman / Mirallas + another CM. Give Schneiderlin, Rooney and Siggy a complete rest.

Romey 1878 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 If Kenny doesn't even get on the bench for this he needs to get on the phone to his agent to find him a loan move in January. Matt and Bailey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Give the youngsters a well-deserved start, and find a way for Baines to get a rest.

aaron Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I was half tempted to swerve this game because of how shite we have been recently, but hey ho, i'll support us through thick and thin. Sunderland aren't doing great in the Championship at the moment but I still think this will be a tough game, 2-0. Would like to see Niasse at minimum make the bench, would start Sandro in hope he gets his first goal of the season. Be a few former lads for them who will likely be fired up for this game.

JTStanley1 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I think we have to rotate the team in this game as Sunderland aren't faring too well in the Championship so I doubt they'll want to have the extra cup games. I'd go for... Pickford Holgate Keane Besic Kenny Davies Klassen Baines Lookman Niasse Vlasic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesey05 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I think Koeman needs to be a lot more defensive minded when it comes to our starting 11. His philosophy of going out all attack this season just isn't working. At home in this one against an in form Championship team so i can see Koeman being very wary of their threat going forward. so taking the piss aside i would like to see. Pickford Kenny Jags Keane Baines Besic Lennon Davies Vlasic Mirallas Sandro/Niasse IMO we are crying out to start 2 wingers this season. pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the desire to rotate, but the thing we need most of all is consistency (for the long term), secondly a win (short term). So I'd be going full throttle at them where possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagoblue Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 If we play two DMs against these I'll lose it. Seems funny to say about a league cup match, but this is an absolute must win. If we've got any spirit in the squad we should give these an absolute pasting. This is now the start of the season. Would love to rotate out Baines but I don't think we have anyone else unless we get real creative ----------- -----------Pickford--------------------- -------- Holgate - Keane - Jags -------- Kenny ------------------------------------Gilfyi (???)--- ---------------------Schneiderlein- -------------- Davies----------------Klassen ------Vlasic ------------------- ---DCL---------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
