Team v Everton (H)

[Johnny J]

This is the perfect line up for the game except rose is injured. Only issue is if it doesnt work we have no viable attacking options to come on

This, and have Edwards on the bench. Fuck it, we've consistently failed to bring a (good) player like him in for years and years, so let's give him a go. Absolutely nothing to lose, and who knows, he may give us something we're missing.

Poch will go with
Lloris
Dier Sanchez Vertonghen
Aurier Wanyama Sissoko Davies
Eriksen Dele
Kane

I’d be pleasantly surprised if he went with anything else

Please Vic instead of Sissoko.

Basically the difference between probably winning and probably drawing/possibly losing

Everton ARE going to park the bus.
I think we all agree Wanyama will start.
Imo then Dembele will not help us get through them. He slows us down. We need ball players with a bit of skill and vision. Why would you leave Lamela on the bench in that case?
I dont understand the 'if we play him we've no subs' argument. You dont pick your line up based on your subs. You pick your strongest team to win and whats left is whats left. Why would you want to struggle for 70min and then bring him on???? Id rather get in front early and then we dont need attacking to players to come on and try and save the day.
If we cant get through Evertons defence with Son, Kane Alli and Lamela then frankly we're not going to.
And 4 at the back with Wanyama in middle is plenty imo.

KANE
SON LAMELA ERIKSEN
ALLI WANYAMA
DAVIES VERTS SANCHEZ AURIER​

Well, shows what I know.
Everton did not park the bus (maybe should have) and Dembele was probably mom first half driving us forward.
Great game.
