I would like to see Martinez give the system spurs use a go at the weekend. Have Geri and Kev supporting rom with Oviedo and Lennon as wing backs. Stones in for Barry with Barkley and Clevs as the 3 in midfield. 4-3-3 but when attacking is more a 3-5-3. This will offer the support and counter teams tactics who defend deep in numbers. We have the pace in attack this way to hurt teams. Stones can take on the Dier role which allows the fullbacks to get forward.

{Ed025's Note - i dont think stones is disciplined enough for that role gray, i like your wing back formation but would play barry myself..

Said a few posts ago that Stones would end up in the Dyer role at Everton.

Stones needs to learn to defend properly before moving positions.should watch alderweirld to learn a few pointers of when to play out from the back and when to hoof it into row z

The main reason Spurs have proved to be so successful this season is down to their impressive work ethic and pressing game off the ball. Although Lukaku and Barkley are, in my opinion, invaluable to Everton Football Club in an attacking sense, and I would not like to think where we would be without Rom's goals this season, they simply do not show the same passion and willingness to defend from the front as Tottenham's front men. Even the likes Erik Lamela work tirelessly, not giving defenders a second on the ball. Players like Kane and Alli have proved you can still defend from the front for 90 minutes without sacrificing any of your attacking threat. Now I put this down to the fact that we have an inept manager and coaching team when it comes to fitness and defensive training. Teams find it so easy to work the ball in to their attacking players because our front men simply let them. I believe Martinez concentrates so hard on "perfecting" a fluid attacking game with the ball that he doesn't put the hours in on how to play football without the ball. There is no point in dominating football matches if you are not physically or mentally fit enough to handle the defensive side of the game.

Royaltoffee that has also been why Leicester have been so successful as they close from the front. I do believe our manager does not have the adaptability to move us forward and we should be looking for a new manager come the summer to move us onto the next level.

I see were your coming from ed025 but he has the ability to carry the ball out and help out defensively and any mistakes won't be as costly further upfield, Barry is good enough to do the job but looking ahead to next season Stones is the future and if he goes which am doubting he will then maybe Galloway in this position?
