Everton V Lyon

[Waltzer]

Put Mirallas in Lookmans position and put DCL UP top looks a good attacking team.

I know hes a bit like marmite but out of all of our players Miralles is probably the one that id have the most confidence in of getting us a goal from nowhere or in a one on one situation, hes also the most likely to frustrate but thats what you get I suppose, but id like to see him given a shot up front as at least he commits players and will run at them

Goodison under the lights would normally be rocking, I dont think Goodison can be arsed anymore

You know what if he went with a bold selection and some youth and they responded by giving us a decent performance and a win I think it would be rocking again. It doesn't take much for us to get onside again, we respond to a bit of positivity from the pitch and it feeds back, especially under the floodlights.

There is zero protection from that midfield.

change Rooney for Ghana Gueye. your midefield contains the person who has been the worst player this seaso after Williams.. and probably responsible for not putting in a decent tackle that cost us a goal in the last 3 games, plus you still want to play with 2 holding midfielders, which has been really bad for us, they just both pass backwards, have no flair/creativity, and stop us from building attacks.. i guess fans think that MS and Gana, will eventually hit form...the system is not working, why keep beating a dead donkey?

[SANA_DR0]

lol, never mind., guess you just want a repeat of our previous fixtures..

No, I don't. But any fool can see that a midfield of Davies and Rooney isn't going to offer the defence (which is fragile at best) the protection they will need. Especially against a very good Lyon side.

Both lack positional discipline, and neither are particularly reliant in a defensive sense. Especially Rooney.

Point to where I have said both Gana and Schneiderlin should start? We may need two deeper lying midfielders against such quality opposition, but it doesn't necessarily mean it has to be those two.

You need to stop jumping to conclusions of others opinions. I've noticed it becoming a trait of yours.

Would be a stop start game with that lineup. "Oh and that's the fortieth time Mirallas has been caught off side..."

So this was for me then?
That side has one holding midfielder. The only who holds that position positionally. His form is poor admittedly but needs must.

[Bluenose 91]

It's 2017 and there's still people calling for Mirallas to be given a go up front.

Lads, he's fucking shit in his regular position never mind anywhere else.
