markjazzbassist Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 their all action game was too much for us last time, they are coming off a big win and we are coming off a demoralizing loss. without allan this could be very difficult. let's hope we have a game plan (likely sit and counter) and are able to get points early which seems to work well for us.

If you give them space they can play through you and its not like we are going to match them for energy or patterns of attack. We will get chances in this game, just need to convert.

Elston Gunnn Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Two interesting bits of news from Ancelotti in last paragraph of this article: (1) Holgate and Godfrey to start today, and (2) Champions League is “beyond us now.” Not literally, of course, but that Newcastle debacle seems to have left Carlo in a “realistic” mood. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/feb/02/joshua-king-everton-future-down-to-the-player-says-carlo-ancelotti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Blue Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 We need to have a strong midfield and when we don't play 2 genuine midfielders we have a non existent midfield. Against Newcastle we were done by Cabbage Head, we thought they would sit back and try to git us on the break, and we would need lots of attacking players to break them down. They actually played higher up the pitch and pressed us and we could not adapt, in part because Siggy is not a midfielder and in part because we lacked the cutting edge due to players being out of form to put the chances away we created. If we had played Gomes instead of Siggy I think we would have been in a much better shape to compete and win the game. If we we are playing Holgate he will be at right back and we could see Godfrey in midfield as a holding player along with Dacoure, and Gomes with James on the left and Iwobi on the right, which I would like to see. Richarlison is so out of form he cant start until he gets his confidence and form back.

With the way we’ve been attacking I don’t have much of that hope! The Newcastle disaster has temporarily left me hopeless. Still, I was a little surprised that Ancelotti would publicly say we’ve no chance at CL. Seems realistic, sure. Maybe it’s his way to challenge the lads to show some energy. As to today, knowing Holgate and Godfrey will both start still leaves the mystery of where each will line up. Godfrey could play LB, RB, CH, even DCM. Similarly, Holgate could play RB, CH, DCM. Coleman could still start. Ditto Digne, either at his normal LB or LWB or even LW. I’m near hopeless but will still be glued to the tele and spewing venom at our players and theirs during the match.

johnh Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Our weakness against a hard working team is our midfield, where there is no pace or work ethic. Leeds weakness is 'set pieces'. They have no height in their back four and the goalkeeper is slightly prone to mistakes from high crosses. Kean and Mina, particularly, should have a field day as long as we get good crosses into the box from set pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo 2.0 Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Not looking forward to this at all, think we will be well beaten but these pre-match feelings are usually the recipe for the best nights. Hopefully the lads make a fool out of me and play Leeds off the park, given our last two results I would take a 1-0 win with a deflected goal off the referee's backside. Just win Everton, just win. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Olsen Coleman Keane Mina Digne Doucoure Gomes Iwobi James Richarlison DCL I think this is what our strongest line up should be if we want to go and try to compete and win a game (we shouldn't need to be playing Leeds with 3 or 4 centre backs in the team) - As Ancelotti said after the Newcastle game, the quality is there, the player just have to make sure the work as hard if not hard than the opposition and win the second balls. I would sacrifice Gomes for Davies is it meant the full back get further up the pitch. Maybe King coming off the bench if a goal is needed in the last 30min, I would be surprised to see him start the game. In a way, I actually hope he is not needed tonight and we are defending a lead at the hour mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
