Who gets the Elephant in the Room Role v Everton

[Agreasychipbutty]

His defensive headers from set plays are excellent but that does mean he makes a good centre back when there is open play.
However, what is the downside in trying it ?

If it didn't work out he'd be a defensive nightmare and we'd end up conceding 4 or 5... so better than usual tbf

 

[Agreasychipbutty]

Good shout. He wouldn’t have to use his hands, something which he struggles with as a keeper

Unfortunately he can't use his feet either. Although we've not been able to judge his heading yet, maybe the reason he dives for the ball with his t-rex arms tucked in is because he's instinctively trying to head it...

Anel = banned
Holgate = Parent Club Rule

Do we just go Trusty + Robbo as a central pairing,we will get murdered at set plays and corners by Everton ( Tarkowski plus Ex Blade) great in the air.

??

DCL will destroy those two in the air. He's starting to look like his old self in recent weeks, so expect him to get a couple of goals.

 

[Russ]

Something that would happen on Dream Team or Roy of the Rovers. I genuinely think why not? We have fuck all to lose.

If we could combine that with Roy Race and Blackie Grey, I think we’d have a chance.

 

[reedy63]

Fuck it who cares were down shipped 100 goals another five won't matter. if we end up winning I will run through town in my underpants.

 

[Oreyt]

I'd like to see us give Freckleton a go.

I don't think Fargate is ready for the re-appearance of brushed nylon y-fronts.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Whoever it is the end result will be that we concede at least 3 goals

 

[CPB]

We either play Robinson and Trusty as a CB pairing or we bring in a youngster.
Baldock isn't fit, so we are out of options.
Can't see us rushing Egan back in.

I'd go a 4-5-1/4-3-3 type of line up.

Wes,
Bogle, Trusty, Robinson, Osborn,
Hamer, Arblaster, McAtee, Brereton, Souza/Larouchi,
Archer

Doesn't leave much for off the bench though.

 

[gooseh]

It will be interesting.
Everton second lowest scorers in the league, averaging 1 goal a game...... until Saturday

Although second highest set piece goals

 

[Bladezz]

Who’s gonna be the first to blame Wilder for the team selection?

And who’s gonna be the first to moan it’s a back 4.

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

I think we've got no choice but to go with 4 at the back.

I'd personally go with

Foderingham
Bogle -- Trusty -- Robinson -- Larouci
------ Souza --- Osborn
Hamer --- Arblaster --- Brooks
----- Brereton-Diaz ------

It's not great but at least Osborn will give us some fight in front of the back four.

It still leaves us with Osula, McAtee and Archer to bring on later, which gives us pace from the bench.

 

[Richeee]

Never mind the elephant in the room...stick him in goal...might keep the score down eh?..

 

[dn5 shaun]

Bit harsh. McGrath didn’t train so perhaps we should just stop McBurnie from training to ensure he’s match fit.

Fit or not McB can't run.

 

[Balti Pie]

We'll go with Trusty and Robbo as our two center halves, then Norwood just in front

 

[bakeblade]

Oh shit

Every GA is us setting a new record breaker. Yeah ! Que trumpet.

 

[SwissBlade]

Fit or not McB can't run.

Shuffles well though

 

[JohnDenver]

I reckon it will be time to unleash Brazil’s finest.

Future star of AC Milan.

Trusty and Souza, the dream duo as Robbo looks on in disbelief!

I reckon Souza could be a very handy centre back. All the play in front of him. Just tell him to get his silly bonce on everything coming our way.

was just about to post the same myself...

 

[CornwallBlade]

Its wierd isn’t it. In our box he’s solid in the air. Opposition half, crumbles like an empty crisp packet when challenged

 

[CornwallBlade]

I don't think Fargate is ready for the re-appearance of brushed nylon y-fronts.

Yellow with white piping? Now those were proper undercrackers.

 

[wavy-blade]

Trusty lol

 

[raul]

Knilly.

 

[derbysufc]

We always do well at goodison Park- Everton.
We won't lose.

 

[Bladezz]

We won't lose.

But we normally turn up with actual players.

No right footed centre halves in a match day squad must he a first

Kinell, I'd expect you to do that if we only concede 4. Naked if it's only 3!

 

[dexter101]

I reckon this is the opportunity for Wilder to really show his tactical creativity. We load the left side of defence, playing a lb, a wb, 2 left sided defenders and Bogle at rcb.

He will then stick souza as a right sided defensive midfielder pretty much hugging the touchline. He then, with his best air hostess impressions, shows all the Everton players inside him into our waiting defenders to clean up.

Pretty sure that will work, I'm positive, maybe...

 

[reedy63]

They must be a decent centre-back in the under-21 or under-19 squads nowt to lose I would pick one of those. Souza is rubbish the best place for him is on the subs bench. even then I would not bring him on. very rarely passes the ball forward he backpasses to the nearest opposition player.wunt bring on Norwood either.
