For some reason I just don't like playing Everton, never feel confident. 

I  know what you mean- home or away they're a bit of a bogey side. Summed up by that pathetic result on boxing day a couple of years back 

[AjcW]

I enjoyed the last time we played Everton this time of year in this sort of position

I never feel confident when we play anyone. I’ve been a fox too long now. I’m always looking at how we can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. 

me too have suffered this since 1963

Great double celebration for Nacho's last minute winner. That said, the lino with the raised flag down in front of me ruined it. The VAR decision was a good 'un though.

4 years ago. How time flies.

I think Brendan would not trust Morgan to step in for Evans and play a flat back 4, so I think Morgan will start but in a back 3, with Justin moving in alongside as Fuchs will need to be rested also.

 

                      Kasper 

       Fofana   Morgan  Justin 

Albrighton                         Thomas

                      Ndidi

      Perez   Tielemans Maddison 

                       Vardy

 

Subs: Ward, Fuchs, Praet, Barnes, Under, Mendy, Iheanacho

I'm really interested to see how Brendan manages the squad over these three games. 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. 

I reckon vardy will start all 3. Man's a machine!

Sorry missed him. Mendy on the bench and not Hamza.

One of the highlights of the season for me. Humdinger of a game and we just looked so so dangerous

You seem really exited about seeing Amartey in training! 😜😄

[Nick]

 

 

I think we'll go three at the back but I'd like to see him let loose:

 

Castagne Fofana Morgan Justin

 

Ndidi

 

Under Tielemans Maddison Barnes

 

Vardy

I'm pretty sure that's him with the bright red/orange boots. He's at the back @ 0:48.

[Vardinio'sCat]

No way can Wilf do 3 in a week at DMC right now (for me), but if he played at CB we could use him there against Spuds.

 

Maybe bring on Morgan for the last 20 for Mendy, particularly if we lead.

Why are people including Castagne in their lineups? 

 

Has there been some kind of announcement that he's ready to play and go straight in?! Or is it just wishful thinking...

I think we need to win b4 easing others in.  The next 3 games are key

I have not seen anything to suggest he is available or likely to be in the squad
