First of all I want to speak to all Evertonians and Eds, we have optimistic fans, we have glass half full fans and we have opinions that appear negative, although it was only Sunderland a mixed bag of opinions have been written on here, Ronnies tactics, certain players playing or not playing, divided opinions, not signing a striker, we all have difference of opinions but the love of Everton make us proud and at times frustrated, last night we I'd not pack I front of the back four, Tom Davies had more space to place to his strengths, we played Calvert Lewin as a centre forward instead of on the wing, we brought in Kenny, we brought on Niasse and Lookman, no surprises we looked so much better overall.
Some who have been called negative or doom merchants have been calling for the above and have a point, others have kept faith in Ronnie, bowing down to his knowledge over the countless views of a lot of very knowledgeable Evertonians.
We all have views, we do not have to agree but as fans we care about our club.
Last night was when everything fell into place, it's as if Ronnie read the views, daft I know but it's like he said ok will try that, will try him there, will give these guys a run, last night showed that we have the players there if used and in a correct position can shoot this team up the league, all we ask for now is to get that balance, do not take two steps back and continue on Saturday where we left off Wednesday, that all the posters ask of on here, a fair crack and a will to win.

Its a great post Bazwill, but just 90% sure that it will be back to no width and no pace on Saturday.

Rooney is the problem when we play everything throgh him . keep Niasse , DCL and lookman in the team . but it won't happen you can count on that.
{Ed025's Note - i think too much does revolve around wayne skylark and even though its probably him trying too hard it does limit our options mate..

Good post Bazwil but Sunderland did make it easy for the lads. I haven't seen anything from Besic as of yet.
I do hope Niasse makes the bench at the weekend he deserves it.
{Ed025's Note - i would start with him smit..

Agree with that Ed. I for one have been screaming for passion and the right attitude and this lad has it. He may not be the most talented but give me someone with heart and who wants to impress and I'll be a very happy and proud Evertonian. Lukaku's first touch was woeful when he started for us but by the time he left he was a great striker. Give Niasse a run and who knows. He wants it and that's enough for me right now.
{Ed025's Note - he deserves a shot for me windsor, if it does not come off then so be it but we wont know until he gets his chance..

I wouldn't want his confidence shattered so think a few games coming off the bench could be the making of him. My fear would be if he starts a couple of games and doesn't score he could be cast into the wilderness.
{Ed025's Note - fair point mate..

For me I would start DCL in the 9 role again with Niasse off the bench, ironically I believe Rooney occupies the role Sigurdsson was bought for the 10 position, RK has an issue to fit all the big signings into limited spaces, ultimately making side unbalanced.

Why not play Rooney further back with Gana? His eye for a pass is good, and if he gets forward Gana is there for back up And rotate him with Davies and rotate Gana with Schneiderlin. I don't think Gana and Schneidelin play well together. Play siggy as a number 10 and DCL as a 9.

I don't think Niasse is good enough but I want him on that pitch on Saturday proving me wrong. Rooney done it early on but his form looks hit and maybe other things on his mind.
Like many of you though I want us to play with width and pace. So hopefully Lookman, Sandro and DCL get a game together.
