NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Our bogey ground. 1 win in the last 5. But I feel Everton is not so good last couple of weeks so it is all in our hands. Mendy, Chilwell, Silva, Zouma, James, Kante, Kovacic, Mount , Pulisic, Werner, Giroud. Our defense will be tested more than ever this season.

As mentioned by Simon Johnson on The Athletic podcast, it feels like form goes out of the window whenever we play Everton at Goodison Park. We have played them a few times there over the years when they were on a bad run of form but we came out unstuck more often than not, as our poor record suggests. Moreover, this will be Everton's first home game with fans being allowed back. Johnnyeye and Vesper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,957 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Last season was an absolutely terrible timing They were soooo poor under Silva and on the plate for us! But they said no no no, gave it to Ferguson and I remember the stats that the players made the most tackles in god knows how many years Anyway, happy to see Carlo again but hoping to see him lose to Frank again.

The last time we went there when in form, we ended up with a 0-0 draw against Big Sam's Everton. Johnnyeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomiswave 6,117 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 They will run their socks off, they will hassle and defend deep, they will have their fans back as Jason mentioned, the ref will do shocking stuff to us etc, it will be a battle. But we can overcome that if we are clinical and resolute. Johnnyeye and Muzchap 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 511 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 One of the games that could define our season.First Goodison’s game with fans back really does mean business. Our most creative player is injured and his only back-up too which most probably means that Puli will be RW and Timo LW.But we are on form and no matter what the starting line-up is,we can win it.

MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 No Coleman or Digne for Everton. Should be taking full advantage of that and the form they are in compared to us. Johnnyeye, Muzchap, Vesper and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Because of that Carlo changed to 3-4-3 lately with Iwobi as RWB and Delph played LWB last game but also got injured. I think James, Richarlison and DCL will be biggest test for our defense this season so far. Plus did we played against this system this season? Last season we struggled if I remember correctly.

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Should take advantage again especially with their best full backs out of commission. They are the best contributors to their attack., and their absence is the main reason for their makeshift defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azul 1,615 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Pulisic is so unreliable, he is a ticking timebomb waiting to get injured. We should look at giving CHO more opportunities once he's fit, or getting another winger. bigbluewillie and Johnnyeye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 An 'awareness' is not an injury, just a term football people use to suggest that he is managing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,916 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 It's all about taking James out of the game. Almost everything positive they do starts with him. We cut off the supply to their strikers and they're useless. Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin aren't going to dribble through our team and score worldies. Stop James from playing through balls and don't let give away silly free kicks around our box for him to line up a shooting chance. Do that and I think we win comfortably. Mount, Kante, and whoever the third midfielder is will be the keys. Johnnyeye and 11Drogba 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Goodison Park has always been a horrible place to go and will be something a bit different for our lads playing in front of away supporters again, but I think this should be a good time to play Everton. They don't look the same side they did a month ago. I would have Kante, Mount and Kova as the midfield three as I think they will overrun the Everton midfield. Werner and Giroud and then one of Havertz or Pulisic. To be honest both need managing somewhat still, so can be rotated between each other for this and midweek.
