Crystal Palace vs Everton

Stating the obvious but the formation and tactics are crucial to Unsworth's future today. Play too open and we could get a pasting. Keep it tight and grind a result out will do him no harm at all.

A difficult one to predict this, having watched Palace in the last few games, their miserable run of results belies the performances.

This again will be a huge test for Unsy and the lads, Palace will be desperate for a win and will battle all the way. Like us, they have found goals hard to come by, and also have conceded too many, oh like us too.

A nail-biter till 4:50 pm, which could pose a problem – I have none left!

Pickford

4-2-3-1, 4-3-3, 4-5-1; it's all the same thing.

Need to see a massive improvement from Gueye and Davies, both have been absolutely awful recently. Sandro deserves another chance I feel – try him out on the wing. Calvert-Lewin starts ahead of Niasse because Niasse only seems capable of scoring in the second half of games, and especially coming off the bench on 60 minutes.

Sandro is just not up to the standard and won't make the squad, never mind the bench. Lookman and Lennon will add pace and, in Lennon's case, some good covering work to help Kenny.

Niasse or Calvert-Lewin

I'd go with the 4-5-1, wingers to give the full backs some cover and give us some width on the front foot-personally.

Whatever happens, sacrifice the performance for the result, win ugly if we have too.

I am hoping David Unsworth sets up in a 4 5 1 with Rooney as the lone striker in this one. Tell him not to cross the halfway line or drift out wide. if he does that he will get opportunities and will score.

Lennon and Mirallas must make a big contribution in this game because our fullbacks are going to need cover.

It is so difficult to pick a balanced team.Id go for Vlasic over Lennon if he can be trusted to track back. This is why Unsy or whoever comes in needs time- we do not have a sufficiently balanced squad to be able to pick regular starters and way too many of the players are showing very poor form. If the Schneiderlin of last season was available with the Siggy from his Swansea days then the team would be so much stronger and it is a pathetic indictment of the more senior players that we have to look at the young players to provide the fight and energy which the more experienced players should be showing by example.
We really have accumulated a very sorry collection of prima donnas!

During the summer transfer window one Premier League club who negotiated with Everton over a player transfer were given three different prices in the space of a day with Moshiri,Kenwright and Walsh all providing significantly different valuations.

So now we know for sure that we have a chaotic management team.

It is a complete disgrace.

Now then, COYB - let's see some passion and pride!

Gueye, Kenny and Sigurdsson have played well. Niasse our best but his fighting spirit is a red card waiting to happen.

Don't even know how to improve, we have the same problems with no width or pace on the bench with the omission of Mirallas and Vlasic. That Loftus-Cheek is a real player, wish he was one of ours!
