Amazed he’s starting Branthwaite who we were told started light training what two weeks ago?

Hope it doesn’t blow up in Moyes face if he gets injured again. Bizarre lineup anyway

Good old Dwizzy Mac you'd imagine.

Except he'd likely go on the right instead and Ndiaye going left.

4 CB starting lol is that Moyes being Moyes or is something going on ( Players leaving )

Width is for fannies

Patterson hasn't deserved this. Can't be good for his confidence. Surely playing Branthwaite in a more physically demanding position (in terms of movement) is a risk?

Keane back in? This a joke

No obvious errors as he used to but we sit so far back we just concede chances and look crap

Lets not forget how good Keane has been for us this season.

It's more the fact he's got two right backs on the bench and said in Monday after the game that Branthwaite shouldn't have even played but decides to go with four CBs today. Patterson's been fine and Coleman's just been a sentimental waste of money this season if Moyes isn't even going to play him.

Strange decision to drop Patterson who has done fine at rightback last few games. Unless he is due to move somewhere on Monday (with hopefully a new RB coming here! ) and Moyes doesn’t want to risk him getting injured?….

Agreed. Hope we are proved wrong but agree with you entirely

No he hasn’t. Feel he is just starting to show some consistency. Strange decision

Get the streams up early please

Can’t get link to work but the 4 pictures on Everton’s instagram account (Pickford in the first pic) is hilarious. It’s like they’ve all just seen the team sheet

Keane went from fourth choice to imperative
