markjazzbassist Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Come on Carlo!!! Let’s hope the lads aren’t hungover from the holiday. Winnable game here and I hope they get a rousing ovation for Carlo at Goodison.

Aidan Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Kean isn't going to come good over night, DCL and Richy has worked fine up top since the mini revival and should be kept that way. No doubt we are short on the wings, but pace out wide isn't a necessity against Burnley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Deffo no iwobi for two or three weeks. The players should be trying to impress one of the most decorated managers in the history of the game. Still can’t believe he’s here. Six points would be nice this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defending from the front. Also means Coleman can get forward more knowing that he actually has someone who will cover his position in case of / when he’s caught out of position. Considering injuries, it’s not the worst decision he could make. markjazzbassist and Newty82 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo 2.0 Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Coleman and Digne the will be expected to overlap as Carlo has already suggested that he will be playing offensive football. You can see Lucas being able to get back but against a pacey winger Seamus could struggle. Having Sidibe able to cover should cope with that plus the positives from this season have ironically come from him going forwards as opposed to back. Glad that the 4-4-2 is out, back to Ancelotti's roots and where we have looked strongest. If we can perform well against United and Chelsea with it, why not Burnley? Trying not to be over optimistic, but absolutely buzzing about today. markjazzbassist, Matt and Newty82 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
