markjazzbassist Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 They're on a roll 2 wins in a row and a romp against Chelsea. I'm hoping we go at them and it will be wide open, pelligrini doesn't strike me as a park the bus kind guy. Here's what I'd like to see 442 again diamond midfield Howard Coleman stones jags Galloway McCarthy Mirallas Cleverley Barkley Kone Lukaku Would love to see Gerry and Besic get some playing time as subs.

Cornish Steve Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 If both teams play like they did this weekend, the game should be an absolute cracker! Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 If both teams play like they did this weekend, the game should be an absolute cracker! My thoughts exactly, was lucky enough to be at the 2-3 game season before last, more of the same (with scores reversed) would suit me fine!

Finn balor Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 want us to go for it. Lukaku if he is on it is the key. city are are playing 4-3-3. id like us not to worry about them but go for there weaknesses. their fullbacks are shite. id play 4-1-4-1 back four picks itself.

Cornish Steve Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I'd take a point. That's where we differ. I'd rather be on the end of an exciting 6-5 loss than gain a boring 0-0 point.

He who dares wins (sometimes). In terms of excitement over the ninety minutes I'd agree with you, as I said I loved the 3-2 game even though we lost (screwing Liverpool softened the blow also). Ultimately though it's about points on the board, if we were to finish fifth on GD we'd look back on games like that and have a little cry. Short term gratification v the bigger picture, know what I'd choose. Matt, Romey 1878 and Btay 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He who dares wins (sometimes). And this highlights more than anything that you don't support Everton if you would sooner us lose than draw. Us not losing is the minimum we want yet you just want an entertaining game so aren't really arsed about us as long as you get entertained. Why don't you just join a premier league forum instead of posting shite like that. We lost but hey it's ok I was entertained instead of we got a hard earned 0-0 against one of the best teams in the country , stay unbeaten keep the momentum going and have 5 from 9 .

MC11 Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Have to say I hate draws. I'd much rather be entertained each week win one and lose two than draw 3. Same points tally! Only thing is goal difference may take a thumping.... Everton have been draw specialists for too long though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you aren't our manager we would be relegated in a season. agreed. getting a point for a draw is one of the many reasons i love football. in american sports this doesn't exist, it's win gets points or nothing at all. this is stupid. winning at home and drawing away isn't a bad goal to strive for.

Losing drains confidence and self belief it's not good for the team, you want unbeaten runs to build moral and team spirit. Beat the teams you're better than and hope for a draw against the better teams at worst. A draw to City and Spurs I would be made up, we may have drawn 3 but we'd be 5 unbeaten. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I've changed my lineup after that Chelsea demolition. Their pace on the attack/wings with Aguero, Navas, and Sterling has me wanting to change my formation to have mccarthy the lone DCM (barry doesn't have the pace). I'd instruct Galloway to focus on defense and not worry about attacking as much due to their pace and his inexperience. Also if they have a weakness I think it's their fullbacks so Mirallas and Gerry are in for me and let's just go high tempo counter attack with all those mids/wings/strikers.

We would be great going forward but could easily get caught if Gerry and Kev dont defend well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I see the linesman who allowed Liverpool's 'offside' goal is running the line for our game against City.
