Yellow Shirt 17 Posted September 21, 2021 Tonight’s performance was very poor in the second half but I saw enough to make me feel that a back 3 helps us all over the pitch. I really hope we see this shape again on Saturday. Omabamadele and Kabak have to be two of the three and at the moment I don’t care who goes with them.

Sideshow Tim 110 Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) With the performance of Hanley and Gibson this evening is there any chance of getting Klose or Tettey back as the third? lol Seen milk turn quicker than either of them tonight!

Yellow Green Army 236 Posted September 21, 2021 Wanted to see 3 at the back tonight but it didn’t work. Again we looked so weak, overrun and outnumbered in midfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paddycanary 535 Posted September 21, 2021 I disagree completely on tonight's evidence. I thought we looked even less in control around the middle of the pitch at home against a young & experimental Liverpool midfield. Not forgetting we had Lees-Melou & Rupp in there, two of our elder statesmen with 'top-flight experience' alongside the wonderkid Gilmour. The back 3/5 might look marginally better with Aarons back in for Mumba but it's a flat no from me as our go-to formation. We've seen this kind of situation more than most I'm afraid - leaky at the back, toothless up front and a litany of what-ifs & hard luck stories. We're only 5 games in but confidence & belief is clearly lacking. The grumbles are only going to get louder if we can't snaffle at least a point somewhere in the very near future. We need to clog the midfield for Everton, hopefully stay in the game by not conceding and then you never know what might happen if/when the game opens up in the last 15 minutes. Something like: Krul Aarons Hanley Kabak Giannoulis Rupp Lees-Melou Normann McLean Sargent Pukki If we have a sniff with 10/20 minutes left, a bit of width or guile from Rashica/Tzolis/Cantwell(?)/Gilmour might stretch them as they will be expected to get a reasonably comfortable win and will push/press up high.

All of the above I hear. Farke really loves that cat. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
