Lucas Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I feel like we are going to Goodison at exactly the wrong time, bit like what Everton had going to Newcastle. It's Lampard's first home league game, no disrespect to the FA Cup game v Brentford but this is a different kettle of fish. You'd imagine the fans will try to make Goodison like a bear pit, there will be a fresh expectancy now, especially having Alli and Van de Beek most likely starting and Calvert-Lewin will no doubt be fit. I think we put a lot into that Villa game in midweek, and as fit a team as we are, I think it might catch up with us here. Really could have done with Phillips for this one but we'll have to make do. The only consoling facts is Everton look far from solid at the back, you'd think we'll get chances and Raphinha usually likes playing them, so after a poor game midweek I hope he finds form again. Hopefully the link up play between Dan James, Rodrigo, Harrison and Raphinha can cause as much carnage as it did to Villa's backline Wednesday, especially James. He's really finding his feet with us now he's working under a proper coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted February 12, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted February 12, 2022 A few surprises in our line up. Going off the order here, it looks like we might have Gordon loosely playing as left wing back. He's got good legs and he tracks back well, it might work. Pickford Coleman Keane Holgate Kenny Allan VDB Gordon Iwobi DCL Richarlison Either that, or swap Iwobi and Gordon, or it's a change of formation, maybe even to a 442?

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted February 12, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted February 12, 2022 Looks like it's actually 442 for us with Kenny at left back. Good intensity from the start. Gordon should have scored in the 2nd minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted February 12, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted February 12, 2022 Very good half from us, steady or better from every single player out there and we're winning everything, especially in their half. I'll be honest though, Leeds have been poor yet they've still hit the woodwork twice, more through two very good efforts than overall good play, but still, they're a threat in the final third when they manage to get up there. I expect more from them in the second half, this defence are prone to switch off and become a liability in the blink of an eye and there's been some signs lately of Pickford having his first 'silly' patch for a little while. We aren't out of the woods, but so far, so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a chance at all they'll go down. They've looked a completely different team under Lampard.

As they have been for like 3 months or more. They were 3 points above the relegation zone after that loss at St. James, so I don’t get where this “drama queens” comment comes from.
