No gana, and presumably no schneiderlin so McCarthy may come back in with davies centrally, id drop keane & Sigurdsson for this, and give DCL and Vlasic a rest, or at least for the bench.

I'm going for a scrappy 1-0 win, with Calvert-Lewin harassing their centre backs for 90 minutes then bagging a late winner, followed by a celebration in which he logs on to NSNO and posts a cheeky selfie of himself in the "DCL - kidding ourselves" thread.
Assisted by Sandro, who starts next to DCL in a proper 4-4-2. Whilst a pilled-out American wears his #9 shirt.

Whatever the more forward players can or can’t do they all work hard so I’m not too fussed on who plays where for this game.
But given that they do work hard and we’re struggling for creativity we should be pushing much higher up the pitch looking to force mistakes more.
It’s a risk further back but we need to compress the space between defence and forwards to cover for the lack of pace.

Agree one of Koeman's mistakes, ( okay I know it's hindsight, but this is football ) was making far too many changes each week, what another six against Arsenal. No wonder the team couldn't string two passes together, there like strangers.

I'm just not sure he's going to nail the right formation and personnel and have a slick well oiled machine in place tonight after a few sessions in charge, away at the champions where we haven't won inside 90minutes since 1994/95

I am sure most fans know just how low we have sunk and understand it's going to take a bit of time. As long as we look like we give a shit will be enough for me tonight. It's been a long time under Ronald since the team put it on the line for a result. Anything else is a bonus.
Unsworth did not probably help himself with his excellent press conference yesterday he really surprised me how good it was, just what we all wanted to hear, if only for the fact he said 'We' as opposed too Ronald's 'Everton'.

Playing Lennon and Mirallas has got me quite happy. Actual wing play will be nice to see.
Think i'm a bit drunk on positivity atm, actually fancy us to get a result or atleast push it to pens.
Yes but Mirallas rarely plays like a winger these days. Very much an inside forward.
He is a good finisher though so I’d guess it’d be more for that.
Also there’s the chance that these two are playing as we’re saving some people for a mustn’t lose game on Sunday.
Agree with the last part though :)

No that’s fine!
Apart from Lennon I don’t think anyone else is faster than those two wider players there, however. Given everyone’s form though as long as the wider forwards can run then I’m not too fussed who they are.
I think Rooney is our most reliable scorer but to minimise long sprints I’d leave him in the middle (but ask him to stay up top) where he can close down over shorter distances.
Overall though it’s an intent thing that I was getting at as we’ve been neither one thing or the other this season.
The lack of searing pace is only a massive issue if that’s all you’ve got to bail yourself out.
Playing higher up the pitch on the front foot should reduce this problem as we’d have more of the ball nearer the opposition goal which reduces the need for long sprints which highlight just how slow or fast someone is.

I'd be happy with a decent performance to be honest, nobody is expecting us to win are they
I just want a bit of heart and desire, and maybe a bit of closing down the opposition.

Yes but Mirallas rarely plays like a winger these days. Very much an inside forward.
He is a good finisher though so I’d guess it’d be more for that.
Also there’s the chance that these two are playing as we’re saving some people for a mustn’t lose game on Sunday.
Agree with the last part though :)
Massively agree with the fact there's people being rested for Sunday and so they should be. But with the way the U23s have been playing the last couple of years, I'd be surprised if DU doesn't try and implement that system. I personally think it will work with the group of players we have.

Positivity on the ball, aggression off it, a balanced shape, and some sort of semblance of a plan where we can all see what's been worked on in training.
I see that tonight and am happy.

I'm in Tanzania so I've not seen much of the football but would love to see Rhino's first game in charge.
My hotel has something called DSTV will the sports channels called SS1, SS2 etc, anybody know if they will be showing the game?
If they have the full dstv package then yes the game will be on. Supersport has like 12 channels and they show almost every live sport from around the world. The best satellite station for sports in the world.

There's no such thing as miracles but great interest in viewing any instantaneous changes that may occur. Not in the playing group as such but more in team spirit, perhaps even some happiness and old fashioned joy of playing returns. Who knows?

Post by: brap2 on October 25, 2017, 08:43:45 PM
We needed to sack Koeman, and I love David Unsworth and be hopefully we're gonna come good now and win trophies etc
But...
I'm a little worried that fan expectations are a bit too high for this first game in his caretaker reign
We got bummed 5-2 like 3 days ago. We haven't played well at all this season. Almost every player is out of form. We haven't got the system right once this season and we have injuries and suspensions
I'm just not sure he's going to nail the right formation and personnel and have a slick well oiled machine in place tonight after a few sessions in charge, away at the champions where we haven't won inside 90minutes since 1994/95
Just hope the fume-ometer is forgiving tonight. Hopefully it's non existent and we do win!
Mate hes had one press conference and the amount of optimism is unbelievable. Nothing wrong with it but I do think sometimes we set ourselves up for a fall.

not sure on team or formation. but i think we will win,. the players will be amped up, plus Unsworth is more loving than Koeman.. I expect the players who have performed for him over the years for Everton under 23 and in the teams he's helped out in (sheff wed) to be fully motivated and kicking ass.
Pickford

Unsworth trusts Kenny and he's worth regular playing time until Coleman is match fit again.
Plus, I don't think we'll see 3 CBs much, if at all, under Unsworth. His U23s play almost exclusively with a back four, not to mention that we don't really have the right defenders for three at the back.

Either have I. But he's young and sort of being thrown out there like DCL. I actually think Martina is at his best(which isn't that good obviously) when we play 3 at the back. So with just 2 centre backs I'd like Kenny. He seems to concentrate on not fucking up and only going forward when the opportunity arises.

At his age, given the learning curve at his position, being on the pitch and not looking out of place is positive.
If he becomes a liability, then we'll need to take him out of the firing line. Based on current evidence, I don't see him as a liability.

I don't know why you bother coming on here to be honest, all you ever do is moan about "people on here" and dismiss any stories or rumours as rubbish.

We’re still no nearer finding a way to put the ball into the opposition net though are we. We look a lot tighter but I’ll be surprised if we have a shot on target tonight.
It's early doors but I don't think we look all that different.

I think Unsworth will go 4-4-2, with a striker coming on for Baningime, when the time is right.
I can't overstate how nice it is to see us actually passing in triangles during build-ups, even if it hasn't amounted to anything yet.
It is nice, but it always ends up back on a CB's foot lumping it up. Players are reacting to balls instead of anticipating. Puts us in a triangle that goes nowhere.

Judging by the last few pages depression is getting to most of you . Just remind yourself of how our last few games against Chelsea have gone FFS .
That's besides the point... this is a Chelsea second team.
Unsworth will have wanted to select the strongest team possible to get a win we desperately need.
But the balance of our first team is so bad, that he's gone for youth and peripheral players that fit into an actual system.

I love watching Lennon play, he contributes in every phase of the game, and nobody ever outworks him.
Mirallas and McCarthy are wasting space, and should be off at the half. I'd move Wayne back to the #10 and bring both Lookman and DCL on to attack. Last sub Sigurdsson for Rooney if needed.

Neither side of the pitch are offering much of a threat. Or in the middle either for that matter.
No guarantees either would help change us dramatically but I'd go with Lookman and Niasse on.

Post by: Jimmywhack on October 26, 2017, 02:38:19 AM
Easy things to notice
Kenny's attacking movement is poor and even with McCarthy and Lennon helping we are getting overran on this side
Baines is bang out of form and their right back, who let's face it, ain't a lot is murdering him
McCarthy started well but has faded
Baningime looks a decent lad
Davies is bang out of form. He needs a time out imo
Lennon is so deep it's ridiculous and its not helping him at all.
If that's mirallas trying to prove his point then he's doing it
Rooney or it could be anyone is as isolated as ever
Oh and Williams can not play a simple pass
Lets see what the second half produces
Post by: GrantyBoy78 on October 26, 2017, 02:38:30 AM
This is still winnable though; Sig, Niasse and DCL on and let’s make them defend. That’s what been so demoralising this season; the amount of times we finished a game and never really asked anything of the opposition. Just have a go, even if it’s direct and ugly.

Our central defenders really do lack any ability whatsoever of playing a simple ball through the middle to centre mid.
You see them shit themselves if they get it and it always goes sideways or backwards
It's worse when they go sideways, both Jags and Williams have a habit of passing to the right foot of the left back and the left foot of the right back

Ancient defence and non-existent striker are huge problems.
Really is crazy with what we've spent the age of that defence. Problems abound in this side though. Mirallas and Lennon? They're offering nothing but a bit of legwork. Rooney totally isolated, he shouldn't be playing up top by himself though.
Very little attacking threat from the middle.
Really where do we have the quality we need? Maybe in goal? Coleman when he comes back. Perhaps Bolasie and I'm generally a fan of Davies. That's about it? Others have potential like Lookman and Vlasic but given the money it's crazy that this side seems like it needs such an overhaul.

It'll come together better after a few more sessions, this game can just be looked at as one of those sessions to get us playing the Unsworth wants us to.

If Ron was still in charge we'd be out of this game by now.

I'd keep the same shape and put Lookman on for the ghost on the left.
Who? there's nobody on the left..
Post by: Jamokachi on October 26, 2017, 02:47:41 AM
We look more determined and there is an actual shape to the team. That is all we can realistically ask for from this game.

Can't really expect much more, it was never going to change massively with only a one and a half hour session before they left yesterday. We've a young lad making his debut and two others in midfield who've hardly featured all season (has McCarthy even played?) Mirallas hasn't exactly been tearing it up and Davies has looked short on confidence all season.
It'll come together better after a few more sessions, this game can just be looked at as one of those sessions to get us playing the Unsworth wants us to.
I think McCarthy played once, aggravated his injury(ies)? Fuck if I recall which match.

The more this season goes on the more you realise Barkley and Lukaku were carrying that team last year. Barkley may have been frustrating as fuck but at least he wasn’t scared of the football like all these lot.
Everyone should have seen that, we just didn't want to.

Post by: bluenuck on October 26, 2017, 02:53:50 AM
A lot of the issues are our full backs. We just need a lot more from both of them, especially vs a back 3 because the space should be down the sides when doubling up with the wingers.
Bringing on Martina might help. Liability defensively, but he does get forward and we need a goal.

We still don’t possess a senior striker, any pace whatsoever nor anything else at centre half or the whole left hand side.
Unsworth might make training fun again and let the lads get their own cereal at will but he can’t bring in the fresh blood we need.

And a promising debut for Beni.

Negatives, we need a result. Also the Chelsea line up was pretty second rate by their standards whereas we had a lot of our first XI out.
We need a result. We desperately need to find reliable ways to create and score.
Not a particularly big black mark against Unsworth but it underlines the challenges ahead.

Niasse should have come on for Rooney earlier, his pace was more likely to cause problems
DCL was effective when he came on, he will do well as a super sub I think for a bit
Lookman good when he came on
Man of the match, well it's got to be that man Beni Baningime, looks Fucking class.tenacious tackler and uses the ball well

Rooney is a fucking liability
Niasse has just as many goals from open play, and now more assists (1), and nobody insists that he is indispensable to the attack/starting XI.
Despite what, 25% of the total minutes played? It's time to accept reality on this one.

In the first half he played 2 cutting balls through to Rooney.. awesome balls, the more Kenny plays, the better you will see him get. no one really expected Willian to shoot let alone do the one two, its weak blaming Kenny for that..
the lad is going to be better than you envision.
anyway.. happy with the 2nd half performance, played pretty well, probably the most cohesive we have played (2nd half) lots of chances, we out played/out muscled the champions in the 2nd half.
Wish we had started with DCL and Niasse, other than that, lots of bright spots. actually feel confident going into our next match.. cant recall that with Koeman in charge.

Second half performance made me proud best performance of the season by a country mile, we outplayed, outstripped and out fought Chelsea, how the fuck we are out is beyond me.
Now I'm sceptical of Moshiri's genuine football knowledge but if he has some he'd see in that second half a completely different side, with not one new signing finishing the game (apart from Pickford). Result didn't really matter, we're on the right track.

Lost. But lost with pride. I can take that, especially with the chances we created. The young boys on the midfield reminded me of something there once was. Tackles, passion, playing for the team. I think Rhino's touch was already clearly there.
We'll be alright.

- The effort was there.
- The response was positive
- We dominated Chelsea, at their home stadium and set up quite a number of chances
- Chelsea won with the help of their big guns - Morata, Pedro, Willian and Fabregas - at the end
- We responded brilliantly when we were 2-0 down.
- Beningame put in a good performance and showed no fear against Chelsea
- Some will say we were playing Chelsea reserves but we played without Coleman, Bolasie, Barkley, Sigurdsson, Klaassen, Gana, Schneiderlin, Keane, Vlasic, that's over £100m worth of potential!
Of course there are a lot of improvements that need to be made but considering David Unsworth only found out after the weekend that he would be in charge and only had one 90 minute training session to prepare for this game, I am feeling a hell of a lot more optimistic than anytime in the last couple of months.
Onwards and upwards.

I saw him a couple of times for the U23s last year and he was head and shoulders above the level of that league. If you watch ressie matches, you will know how rarely players close down and tackle properly, he did all of that for 90 minutes, like a maniac. But I don't think he was ready last season yet, this season however could be his breakthrough.

I said players like Willian are unfortunately never going to end up at Everton. It's a fair statement. The lad is in the top tier of talent and it's a market we're not in I'm afraid. Just telling it like it is, I wish it wasn't true.

The negatives - the different pronunciations of Baningime's name. He's going to be a fixture in our squad on that showing so we need to get it nailed.
I think it's Banning - Gimme, as in, 'well done for Banning that boring twat @Realist (http://www.nsno.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=6621)' and 'You don't need to Gimme a reason to ban that morose twat @Realist (http://www.nsno.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=6621).

When Mourinho had his worst managerial time at Chelsea there was no doubt that Willain was his only player that never kind of "deserted" him. Willain is one of the best players in the world at the moment in my opinion.You desperately need some people skills

Yeah he's painful to watch these days. Sad for him but worse for us. It's a problem too because if we had a true attacking threat in that position then you'd think that might help free up our attacking elsewhere in the team and so on.

He’s always seemed a tad fragile in confidence, so I’m hoping the recent events have just taken more of him than others.
Fuck it though even though we lost I don’t want to moan as my/our Everton showed signs of life today, for the first time in a while, so onwards and upwards

The goal we conceded 1st half was absolutely pathetic, leaving a player unmarked on the back stick like that is poor. Other than for that goal and apart from the Willian goal against very tired legs, I thought we nullified them pretty well.
Second half we were like a different side. One I haven't seen in a long long time. Crazy how we've got a model pro like Aaron Lennon who is blessed with pace and link up play unable to get in a side crying out for width.
I feel like this could be a resurrection for a number of members of the squad which will ensure a real feel good factor around us.
It's early, early days but hearing Unsworth's words of encouragement and passion from the touchline I think it's only a matter of time before we see OUR Everton back.

Jags has been such a player for us that it kind of goes as a given for me that he'll give his all.
Lennon was just forgotten about for me, never thought we'd see him again and he's one of my favourite players when he plays like that.
Give him his due as well, Ashley Williams for as limited and shite as he is, has really stepped it up in recent weeks. Just really seems like he wants it to work for us.

The switch to 4-2-3-1 in the 2nd, with Davies pushed up to the 10 role reduced the distances between midfield and the attackers which helped both getting closer with the pressing and also our own ball retention.

In games where we’re expecting to have good amounts of possession it might be a struggle creatively with possession.

Post by: Toddacelli on October 26, 2017, 01:00:42 PM
I think it says a lot about the change in attitude that there is not only trust in each other on the pitch - but in young players like Davies, Kenny and Super-Beni to take care of the ball and use it well.
Apart from Rooney of course. I love him but he's got to stop thinking he's the best player in the squad (even though he is) and stop hunting for the ball in all areas of the pitch to help out his teammates (because it doesn't).

Really wish Jags could play every game. Amazing how he has been our best CB for nearly a decade now.
And realistically speaking we should have upgraded 5 years ago. We hold on to players too long and struggle to replace or upgrade.

In games where we’re expecting to have good amounts of possession it might be a struggle creatively with possession.
We’d probably have to play a more creative player instead of either Mirallas or Lennon who are also direct players.
Vlasic for Mirallas every week from now on for me. Get the lad a run of games to learn the position and create some understanding with Baines. He's the first player since Ossie and Pienaar who you can fizz a ball in to and know it'll stick. Baines will have some comfort knowing he can fire his diagonal balls in and get on his bike for a return knowing he's not left a huge gap to be exposed.
I would go as far as saying get out some old clips of Pienaar in his pomp of what we need from that side. Unsworth will get that. The ability to link, buy cheap free kicks, play reverse passes and generally be a creative outlet from the left. Vlasic has more in his locker offensively too it looks like.
