Versus – Coleman and Baines

2,137 Comments
Share

In retrospect, it seems that a lacklustre defeat at Watford in Gameweek 15 has been the making of Everton’s season.

Since that 3-2 loss at Vicarage Road, the Toffees have finally clicked under Ronald Koeman, chalking up five wins and a draw in the subsequent seven league fixtures.

The Dutchman’s decision to roll out a wing-back system has been key to their recent ascent.

Everton have chalked up four clean sheets in the last five Gameweeks, bringing both Seamus Coleman and Leighton Baines onto our radars as the Merseysiders offer the perfect combination of form and fixtures for the foreseeable future.

Identically priced in Fantasy Premier League at 5.6 apiece, and with clashes against Stoke, Bournemouth, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, West Brom and Hull City over the next seven Gameweeks, we assess the Toffees duo’s recent displays as we look for the most appealing route into Koeman’s much-improved rearguard.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        Rover, he raises a larger point. Does Arsenal finally change the way it does business w Sanchez? Meaning, break the bank, name him captain and sign him long term, giving him whatever he wants. The front office has a history of not bowing to player demands or whims and shipping off their best players when they feel it's time. Perhaps, they need to keep Sanchez to have any chance of winning silverware.

          This exactly. Add Cazorla and elneny back as a further option, and having Iwobi and giroud on the bench, that becomes a very solid team. Plenty of goals and fixtures look promising for plenty of cleansheets aswell!

            Maybe in a few years time, but we really effed up in our Premier League season and its taking us a while to deal with all the fallout.

            We signed Sean Goss from Man Utd today and he's a kid I'm going to be interested in watching next season. They reckon he's the next Michael Carrick so if he is anything like as good as Carrick was at this stage of his career he's going to be something special.
