Only way we get a result is 0-0 or 1-0 This sounds right to me, especially after the injury update given today by Benitez. We’ll be very lucky to take a point. Maybe we can score from our one corner of the day. Time for Mina to head one in. https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2276341/everton-boss-gives-team-news-update Only Gbamin fit to return, and now Iwobi has a “little problem.” Maybe something like 4-3-2-1. Doucouré and Allan need to be strictly protecting DCMs for this match. Pickford Holgate Mina Keane Godfrey Doucouré Allan Digne Townsend Gray Rondón Davies, Gordon, Kenny, Gbamin, Dobbin, Simms the bench. Jeez.

I like the back 4 they should be fairly strong with Allan sat in front, a Townsend wonder strike and we could hold them to 1-0 win or a 1-1.

Godfrey at least has some experience playing in a midfield role Either I forgot or just never realized Godfrey had played some midfield. I put Digne further up for 2 reasons: (1) as for his own skills, he seems more effective pushing forward than defending as a FB; (2) and in comparison to Godfrey, he’s a better crosser than Godfrey, right?

Yes to both points, but it's precisely because his crossing is better than Godfrey's that he should stay as a fullback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted October 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 I'm guessing the lineup will be the same as last weekend but with either Gbamin or Gordon replacing Iwobi. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm expecting a total nightmare of a game.

FairWooney Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Good to see Gordon get a chance though probably only because Iwobi is out. Man Utd benched Ronaldo so expect he'll come on and save the day if we're looking like getting a result. Their McFred combo in the middle isn't too daunting, Doucoure can muscle his way past them no problem. Pogba benched as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunlopp9987 Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 They're going to run us ragged with their movement. It feels like just a matter of time before they put one in the net. Well that should've been it. Is it time to start finding a LB of the future and move on Digne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badaids Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Christ - that should have been a goal. We're going to have to buck our ideas up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Not the greatest start and Utd probably should be ahead. Digne completely lured in (common theme at the moment) and Townsend (or Godfrey?) left Martial for a free header which he should have done much better with.

Bailey Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Townsend again on the left this time. Switched off for a second and they get behind him. Lucky they didn't capitalise. We need to sharpen up here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
