MattFox Posted 16 December 2020 Share Posted 16 December 2020 Other than the game we lifted the title Everton usually play well at the KP. Apart from 2016 can’t remember a comfortable game against these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting with the one last Sunday (Brighton). There's no way Vards will start all 3, Youri needs to be managed, Fuchs legs will crumble etc etc. Vardy will play in all 3, unless he gets injured or suspended tonight. 100%. So will Tielemans. Fuchs I give you, probably won't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're in a position to take him off then great, maybe we should have done that against Brighton. He won't play every game over Christmas of course, our team at Palace will be much-changed, but I'd be massively surprised if he doesn't start every game before then.

daddylonglegs Posted 16 December 2020 Share Posted 16 December 2020 Lots of shots on goal and crosses please. We know their keeper is a liability. Can see there being a fair few goals tonight with our injuries too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldblueyes Posted 16 December 2020 Share Posted 16 December 2020 Could be 2-1 either way. Not over confident, depends on who scores first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 16 December 2020 Share Posted 16 December 2020 2 hours ago, Dahnsouff said: Just watched the Match Preview on Amazon Prime, fairly lightweight as these shows inevitably are, but there was one good point (Made by NYT chief football writer) and that was that IF you have a talismanic striker like Vardy (Or Kane, for example) it is quite natural and correct that you rely on them and they define the way you play. You can be concerned about succession planning of course, but it should in no way shape current style or personnel. Pretty obvious I know, but its good to hear it stated in what feels like a forum type topic. Oh, and he also said Leicester are not the best of the rest, they are currently in the best bracket..

They're a good side but sometimes it feels like a certain team has just got your number. It used to be Palace, but I'm a bit uneasy about this one. A lot of shouts for Morgan to step in but I'm really not sure he can last full a 90 these days. I think Wilf steps into defence, we know that Mendy can deputise capably for WIlf and he probably deserves it. Seems a bit harsh to bench him now that WIlf's back. I think that we would be in all sorts of trouble without him. Edited 16 December 2020 by murphy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah not a massive fan of that either but a back 4 is seeing one of Fuchs, Ndidi or Morgan in it which also bothers me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Everton will be allowed to start with 12 players. Absolutely, do you think var would notice? What if they ran around a lot? 😂 I just got the overall opinion that he thought that with a 5 at the back, we were more 'gettable' at and vulnerable. I think it was yourself, but forgive me if I'm wrong, that pointed out that 5 at the back doesn't mean that that you're necessarily taking a defensive or negative approach which I absolutley agree with but, I think that depends on the personnel employed. It's just unfortunate that Evans is suspended but I think a 3 of Fofana, Morgan and Fuchs would be risky with the movement of Richarlson and Calvert-Lewin and therefore possibly better to employ a stronger midfield to compensate. Fuchs has been absolutely brilliant as cover but at centre half, does have a tendency to lose his man or runners going back even to the Champions League. Morgan is, in my personal belief and if fit, despite being quite slow (always has been), still very competent and well able to do a job. I just think him and Fuchs together is a concern. Morgan and Evans are both specialists in a their position and good readers of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two attacking wing backs. Similar to Leeds away IIRC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
