markjazzbassist Posted October 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 thanks tonks, sounds like the game plan is more how we plan to attack than being reactionary to how we think they will play. that's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggytop Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I like the way he is speaking, it's very positive, forward thinking and team focused, he said many times it's not about him or any one player it's about the team, if he can get the team spirit going I think the results will follow.

Cornish Steve Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 He comes across as a man in control. No need for ego, no need for arrogance, just a matter-of-fact understanding of what's needed. I really wish the board would confirm his appointment for at least the rest of this year.

He does speak with a lot of sense and you can feel the passion, but I expect the board would have ear marked the man they want a few weeks ago in anticipation that Koeman wouldn't turn it round. It's now in Unsworth hands to get a good run together playing the way Everton supporters expect, then at least he will give the board something to think about.

Bailey Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 I think we will line up in the same 433 formation today. Pickford Holgate Keane Williams Baines Davies Schneiderlin Gana Vlasic DCL Mirallas If he goes 451 I could see either Rooney or Sigurdsson playing behind DCL with one of Schneiderlin or Gana dropping to the bench.

Palfy Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Because Koeman bought so poorly in his transfer windows it's going to be hard for Unsworth to make decent changes to the defence it nearly picks itself, and its been the biggest problem with our team, what they lack in ability Unsworth is going to have to make up with good old Everton dog's of war passion and he's the man to do it, Win or lose Leicester will definitely know they've been in a game today.

Koeman's problem was down to his tactics. Start Mirallas, Davies, and Holgate and drop Sigurdssen, Gana and Keane. Koeman didn't have the option of McCarthy but play him as well. The main issue was the central midfield. Gana and Schneiderlin should never start together. People were moaning about attack when we haven't kept a clean sheet since the opening day, and only our strikers have scored. Unsworth can get the defence to go no frills and stick to the basics, just need to overhaul the midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Little worried Unsworth's style will suit a counter team like Leicester, but happy to be looking to fight on the front foot. Good to hear he'll add some pace to the side and won't be shoehorning Rooney, Klaassen and Sigurdssen in to the same team. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/david-unsworth-rooney-klaassen-sigurdsson-13826197.amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality pick your best eleven send them out and play your game and don't get to bogged down in what they are going to do, then the best team usually comes out on top. pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 I think he will stick with Rooney and maybe Macca. I know we have had lots of games recently but we need some kind of consistency within the team selection otherwise players are never going to gel.

Unsworth can get the defence to go no frills and stick to the basics, just need to overhaul the midfield. All 3 of the first lot were in my side. In truth I had forgotten about McCarthy but I suspect he won't be able to play 2 games in a week yet. After that you aren't left with much choice unless you throw in the young lad again. I thought Jags looked shaky during the week so that's why I wanted Keane in to see if he could do better under Unsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Brave decisions by Unsworth there, like it. He knows the team he wants to pick. Davies alongside Gana is a good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Thinking long term as well. Build JJs confidence by giving him the protection of Lennon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
