Saint Garrett Posted 26 September, 2012 Share Posted 26 September, 2012 The only arguement really is whether we go with Clyne at LB and Richardson RB, or Clyne and Fox. Rather have a RB playing RB and a LB playing LB though, lets hope that bringing Fox off at the weekend would have given him a kick up the backside.

labibs Posted 26 September, 2012 Share Posted 26 September, 2012 Think we could get another hiding here. Last night aside (in which Everton rested some players), they are absolutely flying at the minute and are just the kind of gritty, obdurate side to soak up any attacks we do have and punish our mistakes. Will be very interesting to see how Ramirez gets on in this game. I imagine Moyes will target him as a danger man, it will be good indication of he deals with heavy marking and a physical approach. We also have a pretty poor record at Goodison, don't think we have won there since the mid 90's? I remember K. Davies getting one in a 2-0?

Itchen_block4 Posted 26 September, 2012 Share Posted 26 September, 2012 Sorry !! Should look like this : ---------------------Gazza/Boruc----------------- ----------Fonte--------Hooiveld--------Yoshida----- Clyne---------------------------------Shaw --------------Davis----------------- ---Puncheon------------------------------Llalana----- ---------------------Ramirez---------------------------------- ---------------------------Lambert---------------------------------- You're right, it probably would look like that if we tried playing it. Playing a completely new formation would be a ****ing mess, especially as we're still getting used to the current one. --------------Gazzaniga Clyne-----Fonte-----Yoshida-----Hooiveld -----------Davis-----Morgan ---------------Ramirez Puncheon--------------------------Lallana ---------------Lambert There is a need for some extra bulk to deal with the physical threat of Fellaini and Anichebe, but we need to keep it simple and stick to what we know to get any sort of continuity. When Baines overlaps, Clyne goes to him, Fonte goes to Pienaar, Yoshida goes to the Near post and Hooiveld goes to the far post. If Fellaini gets in the box, we have 3 against 2 in midfield to start a counter if the ball drops to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have Dickson than Jos at left back. I'm wondering if Puncheon will get dropped for this one, in order to cover Baines' overlapping. I'd be tempted to go for: Gazza Richardson - Yoshida - Fonte/Hooiveld - Clyne Davis - Schneiderlin Chaplow - Ramirez - Lallana Lambert But with Chaplow in a role to cover Baines bombing forward (so it may revert at times to a 4-3-2-1).

up and away Posted 26 September, 2012 Share Posted 26 September, 2012 I don't think we are good enough to take our game to Everton and not come out with a cuffing. With that in mind I would look at nullifying their two biggest threats, Baines and Fellini. ---------------GAZZA-------------- FRAZER-----MAYA----JOS-----CLYNE ---------------FONTE------------ RAMIREZ--MORGAN--DAVIS--LALLANA --------------MAYUKA------------ Subs: Boruc, Shaw, Ricky, JWP, Ouncheon, Cork, Rodriguez I don't want to play Fox and would even consider Shaw, Not sure that is fair for one so young so will revert to what worked well against Villa with Clyne on the left. Allowing Fonte to drift over and help out as required. I can see Fellini having a field day with our spacial marking and would stick one of the centre backs on him for the box. Adding Fonte in there allows us to keep the zonal and a solution to Fellini. Fonte will additionally strengthen up the midfield. I have left Ricky out because of the fear he will be isolated and the ability of Mayuka to do something with Gazzas distribution. Ricky could still work, but then I would drop Lallana and play Mayuka on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton are a very good side no doubt about it, but if we can press high up the pitch and get our passing game going like we did 2nd half against Villa we can get something. There is no point trying to defend deep or "park the bus" as we are too poor at the back to do this successfully against any side in this league.

The question alone should slam your arse cheeks shut to nullify the thought. You can just hope what we have done previously will be good enough but I have seen nothing like that.

The question alone should slam your arse cheeks shut to nullify the thought. You can just hope what we have done previously will be good enough but I have seen nothing like that. To play Fonte as a holding midfielder when he hasn't played there before just isn't going to happen. Schneiderlin is a better holding midfielder than Fonte will ever be. I think we'll continue to use the 4231 system, with the only change from the starting line-up vs. Aston Villa being possibly Richardson for Fox. As for dropping Lambert, that has already happened on the first day of the season against ManC for exactly those reasons given by Adkins. Everton aren't exactly Man City are they? The gap between the sides is closer and with Ramirez playing behind Lambert he won't be isolated and they can share the work load of closing people down.

Itchen_block4 Posted 26 September, 2012 Share Posted 26 September, 2012 Bloody hell, Hooiveld at left back?! With Lallana in front of him?! I'd rather have Dickson than Jos at left back. Phil Neville is ancient and wasn't even that good in his prime. He doesn't have the legs to bomb on, so he won't overlap or cause us too much of a headache down that side. You could equally swap Jos and Yoshida, but my idea is to have someone who can win a header covering the back post and not 5'7 of Nathaniel Clyne.

I'm not sure that he's even fit, evidently he was having trouble breaking into a sprint last Saturday, it's what gave them their goal, looked as if he wanted to burst forward and clear the ball but had his feet in a foot of treacle. Pretty much a sign of a groin injury, which is what he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dickson has about a zero percentage chance of playing in the first team. If he had any sort of chance of figuring on Saturday then he's have played last night. He's only got a number because the PL rules say we have to give him one unless we have 25 other senior players. Anyway he's absolute crap and would get taken apart by Baines in the first few seconds.

And managers don't deliberately switch a player to the other side to exploit a very evident weakness? Anyway the question is purely academic Dickson will not play in the first team barring a virus knocking all but 10 other players out of contention. I think Fox has been playing with injections of late, would he have been doing that if Dickson was in any way a viable alternative...I don't think so. The bloke is garbage but earns too much to make him of interest to any lower league team. He said so himself back in the summer...well not that he was garbage but that Saints didn't want him but no-one could afford him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Adders change anything, you simply don't change a winning team especially one coming off the back of a 4-1 thrashing of Villa and high on confidence. I do not agree with many of the pessimists. If the lads follow Adders creed, get the ball, pass the ball, hold the ball then why not 3-0 for Saints. If we choke off the supply to their strikers and Steve Davis and Morgan are terrific at this then it could be all on way traffic. Leeds have probably sown a seed or two of doubt and we need to get at tem and score early to frighten the **** out of the buggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted 26 September, 2012 Share Posted 26 September, 2012 4-2-3-1 for me with Rodriguez leading the line and Lambert playing as the second striker in the hole with Lallana and Ramirez on the wings. This allows Lambert to drop deep or go wide to collect the ball and make the play. He can also drop back into midfield when needed to give us the extra man. Rickie always play better when he's got someone in front of him creating space behind them for him to attack. And Rodriguez has the pace we need to lead the line. Davis and Morgan can shield the back line and Lallana and Ramirez can provide the creativity and pace down the wings to pin back the Everton fullbacks ....................Gazzinaga.............................

In no universe is Harding ever going to be worth half a million quid again, it's a similar scale to spending something like £14m on fletcher or what ever was spent on Jarvis (just with a lower standard of player). I assume the original intent was to buy a new left back, but things didn't quite work out for what ever reason. We can make do for now as having Harding at the moment would leave us in exactly the same position but with 3 senior left backs who are for the scrap heap instead of two.

Adkins subs vs Villa clearly showed that he has realsied that for us attack is the best for of defence. If we arent a threat going forward then Everton win, simple as. Teams like WH might be able to sit back and play one isolated striker and nick a point but we can't. After the Villa game I would be disappointed if we abandoned our natural game - there hasnt been much wrong with it apart from defensive errors and largely we eradicated these vs Villa.

If Fellaini gets in the box, we have 3 against 2 in midfield to start a counter if the ball drops to us. You're right too ! we both agree on 10 players who should be on the pitch to give us the best chance of a result. and using your line up, I would also put in Morgan. Probably our current best 11 ?

They simply dont give sides like us or Swansea any time on the ball, so they will disrupt our passing game and we are bound to make mistakes.

VectisSaint Posted 27 September, 2012 Share Posted 27 September, 2012 Thank you! That line up is the one. I was beginning to lose all hope. Sorry, but playing Frazer at RB is a recipe for disaster, don't get me wrong I like him, but we need Clyne at RB to try to negate the threat from Baines & Pienaar. Their right side is not so much of a threat (Neville), hence why it would probably make sense to play Yosh at LB (where is can play) and use Jos in the middle to counter Fellaini. Otherwise side is what I would pick, actually we are getting close to having a side that picks itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
