True Blue Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Bounced back with a win against Spurs, everyone is fit so we should field our strongest team. The Saints found some form typically, but this should be a win as we can't continue dropping points home. Doubt we will play the 3-4-3 which is even tough a good controlling formation it isn't very offensive. So return back to 4-2-3-1 it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 It was always fucking coming the moment the bloody lineup came out. 5 defenders and Kante against Saints AT HOME! Sort yourself out Lampard for fucks sake. This is Conte levels of cowardice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted December 26, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted December 26, 2019 0-0 at half time. We're clearly the stronger side but can't get the breakthrough. Ancelotti just needs to witness the Burnley set piece goal after half time to get the full Everton welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I love Lampard, but that may be the worst team management I've ever seen. I'm genuinely serious. Everyone and their dog knew how Saints would set up, and yet here we are playing 5 defenders and Kante against them. We specifically appointed Lampard to steer away from this level of cowardice, to which he said after the Spurs match we only went 5 at the back to counter their tactics. A great victory against Spurs about to be thrown away due to incompetency from Lampard again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great victory against Spurs about to be thrown away due to incompetency from Lampard again. Apart from the Spurs bit it sounds exactly like what Puel did with us. Set up really defensively at home (with us it was 4 defenders with 2 DMs) and not take the game to sides like that. Instead sitting back and not getting forward quick enough because of the defensive mindset of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except this is worse given Conte actually utilised progressive wing backs. Lampard is utilising two who offer nothing in the final third. This is actually a level of madness behind this thought process. If Mount and Pulisic both don't start the 2nd half, this game is lost and only one person is to blame.
