markjazzbassist Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 I don't rate them. They are living on the class of 93 still, they are not a good side. The advantage for us is we are Away, if we still have big Dunc his old school 442 punt and run will be perfect. Just defend and frustrate them and get their fans on Ole's back and get them on the counter. Same lineup except for the injuries (digne, walcott) and i'd bench Iwobi.

Bailey Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 I wouldn't have Davies anywhere near the team after today's cameo (and his last few games either). Stick Iwobi or Gordon in there, the former in my opinion, and then I would agree with you. Hopefully Digne's injury isn't too bad as I wouldn't fancy Baines playing to that intensity for 90 minutes.

Aidan Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 If we put in a good performance and get at least a point out of it our season is completely turned around. Same line up as today, dependant on if Dunc is in charge or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 They aren’t a great team but have good individual players. No reason why we can’t go there and get a win markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason why we can’t go there and get a win I love your optimism but Utd have just hit a bit of form and with only just one away win since 1992 it’s not a place we get much change out of. Another solid performance and I’d be happy with a point. Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Ole team is inconsistent. Their midfield is just as bad as ours. No reason we can’t win but like you I’d take a point markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 They will want us to come onto them so that they can pick us off on the counter attack. If we play like we did at the weekend then it could play to our strengths and we could end up hitting them on the counter instead. I don't see them breaking us down if we do that, other than a piece of magic from Rashford or Martial. pete0 and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be wrong but I think Bernard will struggle in a 4-4-2. Duncan will want us to be at them and physical. Can't see Bernard throwing his weight around and leaving tackles in.

Palfy Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I wouldn’t put Delph in for Schneiderlin, sick note could never deliver what Schneiderlin did against Chelsea, I know that doesn’t mean he will replicate that performance against Utd, but any manager worth their salt would start him in the hope that he does.

Because we desperately lack mobility in midfield. If I'm Ole, my starting position in preparing for this game is going to be "how do I exploit the middle of the park where Everton have two of the slowest midfielders in the league". Having heard the team news today I don't think there's a chance of Delph, still sounds a major doubt, but I can't believe that Duncan will leave Morgan in one second longer than absolutely necessary. I don't htink he'll put Tom there, he appears to want Tom further forward, so no one else to come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I’d bet Ferguson is just fine with Schneiderlin tbh, seeing as he was one of our best players up against a young and mobile Chelsea side.

Last game he had three forwards on the bench and did not bring any of them on. (also Richarlison looked bummed to be subbed, him and DCL want minutes) Hoping to see more midfielders on the bench this week instead. Even if it's just one more. Obviously due to injury there are not many senior options available so would really like to see some youth on the bench with the likes of Gordon or Evans or Onyango (young but let him go nuts?) or Beni (who might still be injured). They can all play roles that Tosun or Niasse can't. Kean could possibly though so hoping he is not the forward dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
