This will end up 1-4 or 1-3 as our defence will be exposed.

Eto is a predator.

But Dembele played there last week and was crap. If Capoue is out of favour and Benji isn't fit enough then options are limited. Nabil can put a shift in and can spot a pass better then Dembele. We just lose a bit of muscle in there.

Shouldn't have played stambouli mid week and kept him for today, Everton was always gonna be harder than partizan.

Nice to see a right-back again who can get forward, feel since walker been injured we've missed something down that right side. Hopefully won't be too exposed.

Their team is better (not because of our lineup but in general), will be a hard game but let's save moaning until after the game.

But prawn, with lennon you know he at least will work his socks off and will track back. Dembele won't.

So that's a very odd statement, dude.
Lennon on the left or right though, he'd be better on Coleman's side from a defensive pov?

Where is the creativity in that side? Can anyone see us beating Everton with those attacking players? Lamela and Chadli should both be starting. The onus is entirely on Eriksen to create chances, and when he doesn't, people here will rip him for it.

It's very risky to role out that 2 CM pairing, also. Everton could potentially walk through them and if we concede early, we could be looking at a lopsided result.

That team......hmmmmmmm

Hate not playing with a natural defensive midfielder.

I wouldn't mind no DM if the two centre mids can put a defensive shift in. Mason and Bentaleb aren't strong enough defensively. Both fairly similar players, there to keep the ball ticking, but I prefer Mason's mobility.

Our DM's (rightly not starting IMO) both have one gaping flaw... Slow as shit. You could combine their mobility and it would just about amount to the pace of a post injury Sandro.

I don't really care about Lemela not starting he's nothing special, midfield does looks a bit light and no Ade on the bench?

Ade should at least be on the bench, we better win the decisions poch seems to be making makes no sense.

I'd be a lot more worried had there been no Europa League this week. The away games take their toll and most of that line up started in Germany.

So that was the team I chose apart from Bentaleb instead of Stambouli and Fazio for Dier. It will be interesting to see how we line up. Please not as a 4-2-3-1.

Why am I one of the only ones on here that feel Mason is more of a problem than a solution.

It will remain that way until we go 4-3-3.

He doesn't do enough to be in the midfield two.

For every good thing he does, he tends to cost us in terms of our shape and discipline.
