Thoughts on likely team tonight?

I think we should go for a strong line-up and with one slightly left field selection, due to playing Brighton next up in league.

Tonight's team

Pickford

Kenny
Mina
Keane
Delph

Doucoure
Sigi
Bernard

Gordon
Kean
Iwobi

Subs
Virginia
Digne
Coleman
Gomes
Walcott
DCL
Richie

I'd rest Digne and actually play him CB v Brighton with Nykondou at LB as Brighton are playing with very pacey tricky forwards this season, neither their first choice CF are over 6ft.

So fingers crossed choose any 11
Lossl/ Pickford/ Virginia
Coleman.?
Holgate/ Kean/ Mina/ Branthwaite
Digne/ .?
Gomez/ Allan/ Doucoure/ Gbamin/ Davies
James/ DCL/ Richarlison/ Gordon/ Bernard/ Iwobi/ Walcott

My choice would be
Pickford
Coleman Holgate Kean Digne
Allan Gomez Doucoure
James
DCL Richarlison.

4-2-3-1 formation.
Pickford
Arias-Keane-Holgate-Digne
Dacoure-Allan
Rodriguez-Gomes-Richarlison
DCL
A little better than what we have at the moment👍.

I know mr Ancelotti likes 442 however it may be 4312 with James playing just behind the front two . I think what it gives us is flexibility if we get Doucoure in I think he’ll be the one to sit in front of the back four and Alan will be box to box enforcer Gomez sat in the middle pulling the strings and James linking everything together . Anyway fingers crossed until they’re in the echo wearing the shirt.

If you could have any player from any Everton team, who would be in your team? Mine would be a 451 formation:-

GK - Southall
LB - Wilson
CB - Ratcliffe
CB - Labone
RB - Stevens
RM - Kanchelskis
CM - Harvey
CM - Kendall
CM - Ball
LM - Sheedy
CF - Dean

Really wanted to put Alex Young in but had to play Ball, Kendall and Harvey.

Put Trevor Steven on the right and that’s the best team for me.

{Ed025's Note - i would need to fit bob latcford in myself, never seen dixie but his record speak for itself..

What the fook is that team line up can't believe he has picked sigs and Walcott and got Delph on the bench . not happy and not getting my money today so not going and it kills me to stay away.

OK. An awful performance that was totally embarrassing and emphasised the full extent of the job CA has to do on this squad.
Some have said get rid of them all. Appealing but not practical. Where should his priorities be
Pickford - keep - goalkeeper is not our major problem
Coleman - sorry but we have to be ruthless and it's time for him to go with our best wishes
Sidibe - don't sign at end of season. There are better youngsters out there that would cost less. The Liverpool full back was 100% better than he was
Mina/ Holgate - keep but look at trying out Gibson and Feeney and/ or strengthening
Digne - keep but only based on his performances last season, Has been disappointing this season
Schids - drop and get rid of asap
Sigs - drop and get rid. We can't afford to keep a player just for his set pieces. Maddison and Tielman should be our benchmarks. Why not try out Adeniron or Benny or Evans (his delivery from free kicks is as good as Siggs and he's got legs) ?
Delph - keep but if he can't keep fit get rid
Ricky - Keep
DCL - Keep
Walcott - get rid of. his goals/ assists record is woeful
Bernard - keep but he has to improve his goals and assists
Kean - keep - solely on his potential rather than what he has done
Tosun/ Niasse - get rid. Not Premiership quality
Davies - keep but only for backup - big doubts from me that he is good enough. What Premiership side could he go to and improve it?
Baines - can still do it but every week? This should be his last season with us but he is good cover and even a challenger to Digne based on current form

I might have missed somebody and I certainly think we need to try out the likes of Gordon, Simms, Dobbin etc to see what they can do - otherwise what's the point of the Academy

A lot of work for CA and Brands to do so they need to prioritise and start implementing this window.

We need to sell some of our horrendous players.
Sigs
shnids
Tosun
Walcott
Keane
Delph

Sell them we will then have around 100m to buy new players. We need a full overhaul. CA has a huge task on his hands. We are embarrassing!

Derby day today and hopefully we can give them a game after that disgraceful performance last time round. Hopefully Carlo will have more tactical awareness than Silva and not play to their strengths. I think we need to take control of the midfield today if we want to take anything out of this game with combative performance from the two central midfielders. I would go with Pickford, Digne, Keane, Coleman, Holgate, Delph, Richarlison, Bernard (if fit) with Keane and Calvert-Lewin up front. Know Keane is slow but think Holgate gives us more legs in midfield and Tom looks knackered having watched him against City. What's everyone else's thoughts?
