Baird of the land

I would say the fullbacks seem better suited to playing with 3 at the back behind them rather than in a four.

Fab result. Bednarek was awesome. Important that we keep ings fit. Glad to see Valery do well after the extreme criticism for having one poor game in 3. Rome was terrible though.

Personally Romeu doesn’t start.

Did he hurt his back doing this second job he was moonlighting as. Lol

Doesn’t sound great that Stephens has a problem with his knees.

Expect to see Cahill rock up at Fulham.

A rohl of the dice

Makes it even more obvious to go for Stephen-Bednarek pairing.

I appreciate the fact he wanted to go play for the u23's to keep fit. That said i'd prefer other options in the middle at the moment.

If there’s any truth to the Bertrand stuff we could do with a big club suffering injury problems at left back. Liverhampton maybe.

After he put in such a good display against spurs i’d Be disappointed if he was released. Hopefully Watford come back for jwp instead.

I certainly remember him being very dominant that game.

Hope we don’t loan gallagher out. Get him fit & give him a chance in the league.

Bizarre how anyone could suggest loaning out the only of the starting back 4 on saturday to play ok.

Well we've got far too many senior players anyway, so any who cry can go train away from the first team.

Cedric (Valery has been good in 2 of the 3 games he’s played, but if someone could get Cedric to concentrate on his defending he is a good international.) Stephens (Been the best recently, very good on the ball) Bednarek (the standout on Saturday, also decent aerially) Bertrand (England international)

Romeu was not our second best player yesterday and Davis played excellently in the deep role against spurs.

Thought he was very mediocre.

Stephens & Bednarek at centre back pls. Also like to see Davis in for Romeu. Ideally Obafemi is fit with Austin back to being a 20 minute sub man.

Brainless. It's pelting down with rain and windy and Vestergaard thinks now's the time for a flick backpass. Need a clearout in the summer regardless of where we are playing. We were slightly unlucky only in the sense that we should have had at least one penalty from the Armstrong/Redmond challenges. Hopefully Obafemi or Gallagher will be fit soon as gabbi looked lost and Austin just isn't mobile. The positives were that Bednarek played well(barring one error trying to control a ball). Stephens came on & did ok, even out ofhis favourite position.

His one mistake aside i think Bednarek is doing ok. Valery a least is trying to defend, which is an improvement on cedric recently. Not sure this set up does much more armstrong. We need to get him more central. Positive is that at ht it is 0-0.

Just spotted the cb thing. That’s completely bizarre.

Guessing he’s going for aerial ability from his 2 center backs. Glad Valery is starting. Thought Romeu looked so off the pace in his cameo on wed, so hoping that won’t be the case today. Maybe in for his height too. Given how he wants to play really suprised Austin is starting. Also disappointed Davis is completely absent after playing really well we’d.

While i’d Like Lookman loan, the fact he’s starting or coming off the bench for Everton argues against it.
