Match Thread Everton v Leicester City, Wed 27/1/21, 8.15pm

[bluerinse]

Feels like a huge game for us, especially with no Doucoure.

Do Digne and Iwobi come back in, if fit?

They're without Vardy but Ian Nacho has scored against us before and Maddison is on a streak of goalscoring.

I know this is an autocorrect but please don’t change it.
He should only be referred to as Ian Nacho from this day forth.

They'll play Barnes or Ian Nacho up front, I know we're missing Doucoure but it'll be shocking if we don't beat these without Vardy.
Iwobi has to come in if he's fit, Digne well I'll leave that to Carlo, We might need a bit of defensive force considering we're gonna be with Davies and Gomes in CM.

It's what my mates call him, wasn't an auto-correct

Even better.

 

[snoopjiggyjigg]

I think we will go

T-Rex

60k Yerald Big Mick God

Davo

Richy Gomesh Wobes "The Werlds best LB"

Fashion man




Or similar​

Don't think Bodge rates Nacho, rather would have more movement up there.

They struggled for a good while against Brentford yesterday, so we're more than capable of keeping them quiet for 90. It's just our central midfield that is the obvious big worry.

[T1878]

What I want to see, isn't what I expect to see. My team would be;

Olsen

Keane - Mina - Godfrey

Iwobi - Gomes - Holgate - Digne

James

DCL - Richarlison
​

But I think we'll see a side containing Pickford, Davies and Sigurddsson.

 

[bluerinse]

I can't make up my mind up whether Iwobi comes back in for Sigurdsson, allowing James to float while Iwobi keeps the width wide right.

It's what I would do but Sigurdsson seems to play more often than not.

I'd be amazed if Sigurdsson doesn't start. We'll probably keep the same shape as last night with Davies coming in for Doucoure. Keane will definitely start too, I think Digne is probably the biggest question mark.

 

[Iggy]

Pickford

Godfrey Keane Mina Digne

Holgate
Rodriguez ----- Gomes

Iwobi ------------ Richarlison
DCL​

 

[boris]

Pickford

Godfrey Keane Mina Digne

Holgate
Rodriguez ----- Gomes

Iwobi ------------ Richarlison
DCL​

That's what I'd probably pick if it was up to me although I'd switch Rodriguez and Iwobi.

I'd leave James where he is and I think I Iwobi will prove to be better centrally in the long term.

He really should it was potent against Wolves.

 

[AngusYoung]

Heard Gbamin might be starting.

Heard Gbamin might be starting.

Starting another round of rehabilitation.

I’ve never seen godfrey play centre midfield but he did apparently play there for a season at a lower level.

He may be a better choice albeit holgate had trouble with Harvey Barnes he is very powerful but I think Godfrey will give him a taste of his own medicine, so perhaps it’s best but I’d defo play them both in whatever capacity along with iwobi.

We need as much pace and power to help James & iwobi has this and also seems to have quickly developed an understanding with him

 

[Floody]

We have already beaten them this season so I don't think we have anything to fear as long as we play our own game.

Could be our first double of the season

 

[markymark]

Taking 6 points from both games against these could be massive come the end of the season when you think they’ll probably be more than likely in the mix for the top 5/6 themselves.

Add to that 3+ points against Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea and there’s no reason to think we can’t be pushing for the top 4.

We just need to stop having brain farts against teams like Leeds and West Ham at home.

 

[markymark]

Oh and if the shite lose against Spurs and we do beat Leicester, we’ll be above them with 2 games in hand. Freaky shit.
