Popular Post Matt Posted January 19, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 I'd be giving Patterson his debut with 1 instruction; keep Digne in your pocket. Digne will know all about Coleman, the new lad will be an unknown quantity and should have more pace and stamina about him.

Bailey Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 5 hours ago, RuffRob said: I agree Gray is better on the right over the 90mins, it more because Digne is likely to be pumped for this game, so giving him Gray to deal with early on might get him in the book early doors. Goodison will be rocking, so it should be an intense atmosphere. Coleman should know Digne's game a lot better than Patterson (or any other right back in the league), so would definitely be starting him. It was only last week a lot of people on here were writing him off as a has been and now all of a sudden we have to be that worried about him we change our own offensive plans to contain him? He is clearly one of a number of threats in their team but it just feels a little OTT for me. If the attacking plan is for Gray to play right to suit us then great. If not, then its a no from me. chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 If Digne has a worldie then fair enough, but personally I don’t think he will and I wouldn’t pick my team or tactics just to try and stop him, stick Gray Townsend or Gordon on his side and keep him busy in his own half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Richarlison and Gray both play best on the left. But they both need to play. I think Gray will be more effective on the right than Richarlison.

Think you will fined I said he will probably have a cracking first season with Villa, much like he did when he first came here. Point being made is he is returning so soon and might perhaps be a little bit overly pumped up himself given what the atmosphere might be like on Saturday. So why not give him something particular difficult to dealt with for the first 20mins. If there is a chance to draw a couple of rash challenges out of him early in the game, then why not have a bit of a probe early door. An early booking for Digne wouldn't do us any harm for the rest of the game. Not suggesting that our whole game plan should hinge around Digne, but lets not left him have any sort of easy ride on such an early return to Goodison Park.

Pickford Patterson Mina Godfrey Mykolenko Gordon. Allan. Doucs. Gray Richie. DCL This but with Coleman instead of Patterson. I think Ferguson will want that experienced leader who has Coleman's spirit in a game where he's looking to see a real passionate performance. Fully expect Coleman to wipe out Digne Looks like Allan is a doubt at the moment, Ferguson said he was still struggling, it was believed to be Covid but not sure. didn't spot him in training. Not sure who replaces him, Delph wasn't in the last match day squad, unless Dunc feels differently to Rafa then I don't see Gbamin starting either. Gomes can start though that does leave us a bit short on defensive minded mids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Pickford. Patterson. Mina. Godfrey. Myko. Townsend. Doucoure. Alan. Gordon. Richarlison. Gray. Probably won’t go down well with most but I would have DCL on the bench, he hasn’t looked himself since returning from injury I’ve been rather underwhelmed with some of his performance’s which tells me he isn’t fully fit yet and we shouldn’t be flogging him. So this could be a good alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray is the exact kind of winger Digne struggles against so we need to get him 1v1 against him as much as possible or exploit the space he leaves behind when going forward.

Good shout, we were all complaining about Dignes poor defending, so let’s really target him as we should know his weakness more than any other club, make him look average at best, and put the spat with FSW behind us.

c1982 Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 This game/ this weekend could be pivotal. Villa, Leeds and Brentford all have very winnable games and could leave us a little adrift in a bottom 5. It sounds obvious but we are desperate for a win and it needs to start with 3 points tomorrow. Romey 1878, Matt and StevO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Pickford Coleman Mina Keane Godfrey Gray Doucoure Allan Gordon Richarlison DCL If Ferguson wants to go for the "most arsed" XI like he suggested in his press conference, this is probably it. Maybe a slight variation in formation but I'm pretty sure Dunc reverted to 442 last time he was the boss, although that was against 3 of the 'top 6' teams so maybe it'll be different.
