McCarthy on for Holgate

Hope we come out with a different strategy and sneak a win but I'd be very surprised if we come away with more than 1 point here. We look so vulnerable at the back with stokes little one twos. Lukaku having a sulky game, need to play it to his feet.

I actually think Tony Pulis is playing more progressive football than we are at the moment.

If we have a plan, it's not working and it's ugly.

Reckon Geri is out of the squad after his comments about the style Koeman plays?

Just moved to Cornwall so gonna go and see if there's any blues out there in the local! COYB, let's stop fucking around in these Derby games, we need to shake of the jitters and demons from our backs and get in their faces.

Turned 33 yesterday!

Anthony Taylor has as a shocker there

Ross growing in confidence here.

GET IN. Great play by Bolasie for working so hard

We look terrified on the ball

Need Mirallas to turn up today. Not good enough this year.

Dirty bastards these are.

Fucking soft from Stek

What's with Burnley rolling around and diving so much? Sad. Doesn't help that this ref is shite.

71% possession so far, need to make more of it.

Bony to Stoke it looks like. I reckon Carvalho in and McCarthy out to Palace.

One thing he really offers us is a breather when under the cosh. Several times yesterday he took the ball when we were under pressure and galloped up field, allowing us to reshape and push further up, It will scare teams knowing he can punt it past their high lying defenders and counter. In terms of end product, if he keeps putting balls in the box like he has been, it's up to the forwards to get on the end of them.

Gueye, but Holgate a very close second.

same. please DM!!

Feel like Lukaku being injured is a bit of a blessing. We looked more dangerous in pre-season with Geri up top.

Over the moon with this. Jags and Williams could do a similar job to Huth and Wasilewski. No pace but an absolute brick wall.

I think he's maybe just put that there to attract the attention of all of us desperate Everton fans tbh, who'll retweet it/embed it and get him some more followers.

Refreshing to hear our manager criticise the team, obviously takes no shit.
