Let’s not take anything for granted. I remember loads on here moaning about the team selection that led to us going out of the league cup. Let’s play a strong side (with a few like for like replacements) and make the changes and give key players a rest when the games won. Let’s hope Marco feels the same way. A good cup run might just get the season moving again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoblue Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Ring the changes for me. First team is knackered, 8 days or no, dead clear many of them need a rest. Our second team should be more than good enough. pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given our history against lower leagues sides I’m honestly astounded that any Evertonian could ever come out with a statement like that This is a must win game if we lose the current bad form we are in becomes a fully blown crisis so pick a strong team and get the job done Looking at some of these suggested line ups makes me wonder if some of you are actually aware that we’ve won fuck all for nearly 24 years Matt, Bailey, MikeO and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think the first 11 have the energy/wherewithal to do it. I'd rest a few forward thinking players, Gomes, Richarlison and Gylfi spring to mind to give them a break. No need whatsoever to rest Pickford but we will. Defence is covered by perfectly adequate PL quality back-up so play Kenny, Jags, Mina and Baines for me. Gana's only played one game so no need to rest him at all, pair him with McCarthy and tell him to make more of those runs we see occasionally. Add Davies, Lookman, Tosun and probably Niasse. That in my opinion (I never get involved in picking sides in this thread so no idea why I've started today) is a team from the first team squad rather than being the "first team" or a "second team" so should be able to do the job.

Bailey Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 I would play the following: --------------- Pickford Kenny Keane Mina Digne --------------- Gueye -------- Davies --- Siggy Lookman -- Tosun -- Bernard Bench Virginia Baines Jagielka Beni (an attacking midfielder if we have one?) Walcott Niasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think they would say that about Liverpool, city, Tottenham etc Of course they would, what's the point of going to a match expecting to lose? I came up with a minibus full of Woking fans in 1991 and they all thought they had a chance (I was sat with them in the away seats, upper Park end before rebuild) and they believed and as it turned out were unlucky to lose. Everton fans to their huge credit stayed and applauded Woking's lap of honour. The "big" boys will be playing lesser line ups, Bradford beating Chelsea (under Mourinho) springs to mind. No way are lower teams fans going to a game resigned to a loss. I went with my local non-league team to Watford and Shrewsbury as a kid and lost 4-2 (having been 1-2 up at half time) v Watford and 1-2 at Shrewsbury. 11 v 11 and anything can happen, lower teams raise their games against better players. That applies to any sporting contest for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post c1982 Posted January 4, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 FA Cup should be our priority so we shouldn’t be messing about with the team too much. 7th is our summit on the back of recent results - we’re not going down so we’re looking at 7th-12th again - that’s the reality. We need to be going out to win every FA Cup game - whoever the opponent. Matt, Bailey, Romey 1878 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hope McCarthy gets a few minutes, shame about the rest of the bench. If you're not giving kids a chance in a cup game what hope will they have of ever getting an appearance. Even just give one spot on the bench as a reward for one of them playing well in the u23's. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Not saying we shouldn't be taking this one seriously, but this is a lineup we would put out for a PL match. I expected to see a little more rotation than this.
