You even gave the reason, a lack of success with 4 at the back. If Frank feels like he has to justify his formations to the media or to the supporters then I’d be concerned. Let this be a lesson to you not to assume then . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyBlue Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Just now, Aidan said: Almost definitely not a back 3. Wonder if we'd have set up this way with Holgate fit, if so, Keane is really falling out of favour. That being said I think I'd rather see Keane start in the 3 over Davies. I would have thought the plan was to sell Mina or Keane before the injuries. Given how they were used so far Keane might have been the one slated to leave.

I mean, I think it’s a pretty clear reading of what you said. What other interpretation of “gives him ammunition” is there? If you meant something different than let this be a lesson to choose your words more carefully, lest you be misunderstood. Hopefully our verbal sparring is a sign of a spirited Everton performance.

Going to need that extra player in midfield today. Need to stop these from running because once they get going they will be flying by any of our available CBs.

Palfy Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 I’m happy with the setup just not so much with the personnel and some of the positions players are being asked to play in, but with the squad we have there isn’t many options.

Surly it would have to be Davies, Iwobi far too influential in midfield at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If multiple people have understood you to mean something other than what you intended it stands to reason that you were not very clear.

plaidharper Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 USA Network in the states did a few minute mini doc on "You'll Never Walk Alone" in the build up to our game. Good Grief.

Wiggytop Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Putting all the Maupay stuff to one side, it’s frightening that our bench is so poor/ inexperienced after only 4 games in. Hopefully grab something tonight and have a busy two days bring in and clearing some out. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good position to be in with our upcoming games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 What concerns me is can we keep the ball in their half enough to keep the pressure off our back 4, McNeil and Gray don’t fill me with much confidence in being able to execute that role both give the ball away to easily.

Of course we bloody can't! What have you been watching this last 12 months. Throw in two of the slowest CBs in the league and we will not be squeezing up the pitch to dominate possession.
