Bournemouth v Everton

[KoemansNumberTens]

Think the reality is he probably doesn't rate most of our attacking players. Would have liked a Davies type in today but Davies has been shite. Would like more pace in wide areas but our wingers aren't ready

Good bench though. Quite happy to be tight til half time and then go for them.

[Heisenberg]

McCarthy and gana will be CM with Morgan sitting

I think it's fair to put them in the DM category as they are alright at defensive duties but offer nothing in an attacking sense. There's no penetration in there at all. Poor team selection

[Everton Mint]

Rooney rested for Man U... stupid that.. should start today if fit.

[Bluedylan]

Got some sympathy with Allardyce on this one because we've got Utd in 48 hours, and Liverpool 4 days after that. Not easy juggling and keeping people fit.

[Heisenberg]

I'm hoping that McCarthy playing is nothing more than his shop window audition

[Everton Mint]

No Vlasic or Mirallas... two that could do somerhing from the bench rather than Davies.

[Ross]

Given the following games and Bournemouths form and position is it really necessary to risk Gana in this?

[BlueForYou]

First attendance for new GK coach Martyn Margetson - keen for a clean sheet!

Changes in second half - Rooney, Davies & Bolasie

Disappointed for Vlasic

[GLewis]

McCarthy is usually a bit better going forward when he’s in a 3 (rather than in the 2 of 4-2-3-1).

Guess he’s gone for someone just running up the other end of the pitch rather hoping the passing improves.

Every manager seems to pick him when fit.

[GLewis]

Rooney rested for Man U... stupid that.. should start today if fit.

SA said he’s been laid up for 3/4 days. Tough to start if that’s the case; especially with Utd on Monday.

[TheTone]

Vlasic must be shit in training

Anyone know what's gone on there?

@Django ?

[BlueForYou]

Puzzling

[hill135]

They're not DMs though are they. They're CMs who happen to be poor at attacking.

We've got a lot of central midfielders but hardly spoilt for choice given that Davies is off the boil, Rooney's out and the others are all identical little crabs.

[eyesalwaysblue]

why not just play with 10 defenders

we haven't got 10
