It really isn't they are both defensive Central midfielders

yes on paper but within the tactical game plan currently deployed they are not doing the same thing, so its not a simple case of 1 or other its a case of is Ndidi better than the 2 10s we have, if yes both Ndidi & Skipp play but if no (the answer) then ok is he a better DM than Skipp yes/no...that is the question

[Richmondfox]

He will play the same team in exactly the same style.  Two teams stinking each other out. 
 

Cooper needs to address the space JJ is leaving which constantly puts the defence under pressure, if this is the case Everton will have countless chances.  At Palace their goal could’ve been avoided if he was closer to make a block/tackle not keeping (allegedly) them onside by a last ditch stretch. Also our 2nd goal came from JJ playing like he used to before he became boring and scared to cross the halfway line. 

 

We need to attack constantly otherwise the crowd will turn quickly if Cooper stinks it out. We can’t be relying on Ndidi to be creative and feed the wingers if we have more of the ball, which you would expect in this game.  He seems to be great at creating when it’s chaos but if he has to think about then the ball is wasted. I’ve seen enough of Ayew to know why he peaked at Palace, the same for Reid. 

 

He has got the excuses out of the way from the last game, he has none for this.

Ive had a re think, My team would be - 

 

Mads

 

Ricardo Faes Okoli Justin

 

Winks Skipp

 

Bounanotte Ndidi Fatawu 

 

Vardz

[ClaphamFox]

I'm convinced Cooper will start with Winks, Ndidi and Skipp again, which means that his only concessions to make us more attacking are likely to be replacing Ayew with Buonanotte/Fatawu and/or replacing Justin with Ricardo.

 

My best guess is that he'll make just one of these two changes, but I also think it's possible he'll make none at all.

Agree he'll stick with the same 3 in CM but don't think he'll make either of those other changes, sadly. It will be an unchanged team.

Okoli has had 1 good half and looked dreadful every other time he has played...

There's bollocks.

Skipp has had one good game out of the three he has played and was rightly criticised for being awful

And then there's whatever the fck this is.

FM has anyone been on Grand Old team? 

 

They are almost suicidal with a number of them are predicating a Vardy hat trick. One or two of them are wishing for an international break for god sake 

 

If we could get an early goal it could turn very toxic for them. 

 

FFS come out of the blocks and stick it to this lot

The atmosphere there seems even more negative than here, which I didn't think possible. To be fair, they've squandered 2-0 leads in two consecutive games - I imagine we'd be the same if that had happened to us.

[Mike1983]

Ayew will put in a shift for this I reckon. He owes us this after his dreadful performance against CP.

Or we drop him and play both our good wingers. 

[Wymsey]

Didn't know that Dele Alli was training with them.

Seemed to have quite a few issues in the past with addiction iirc.

With all the injuries and shit going on at Everton.  Not winning would be criminal.

 

Knowing our luck, we will be the self obliging dick heads and let them win

[Grebfromgrebland]

Can Ndidi have such an effective game again? If he can then he'll have to start. I can't see any changes from cooper personally.

Such a helpful contribution thank you

[urban.spaceman]

Would be a laugh if we went 2-0 up then lost 3-2.

 

Actually no it wouldn't.

[urban.spaceman]

Don't do that.

[Gamble92]

Buzzing to be going to this tomorrow. 

 

Then I read this thread and I'm wondering if sitting fully clothed in the shower and crying for 2 hours is a better option. 

[l444ry]

Some of the suggestions for the side makes you wonder if the posters actually were at the Palace game or relied on a Stream at home. All about opinions but honestly!

Expect it’ll be the same XI starting, hopefully Coady sent to train with the Under 9s. 

[Winstonthedog]

Team talk ..... attack ... attack.... attack.... attack ....  attack   ... if Cooper can't say it then the fans need to

Unless I'm mistaken, Vestergaards not been in any of the footage shown this week in training. Cooper said there's no injuries as well.

[Nolucklcfc]

Who are Everton missing for this?
