Background info:
As the new manager of Everton I was delighted. A lifelong fan and follower, It had always been my dream to one day, become the manager of Everton Football Club. But when I submitted that application form, I never dared to think that two weeks later, it would be me sat in Bill Kenwright’s office as the manager of Everton. For many years I had sat in the Glwadys Street end. Criticizing previous managers, “why did you bring him on, hes s**t”, and “Get another striker on” seemed to be the more popular ones down the years. Now I was in the managerial position, and as a fan, I was going to bring the club to success.
Tactical + Squad Analysis:
I decided I was going to use a 4-1-2-2-1 formation.
I aim to utilize two quick inside forwards with good dribbling ability to supply me with goals along with my striker. The use of a false nine in my formation helps a lot in my opinion, he drags the central defenders out of position leaving lots of space for my inside forwards to exploit.
My Squad:
Howard will be my first choice keeper, with Jan Mucha providing stern back-up, Iain turner is not in my plans, I will try and sell him or loan him out maybe.
Fairly strong area for Everton, I re-trained Marouane fellaini to play centre-back as his stats and physique very much suit it. I have also re-trained Phil Jagielka as a right back. Hibbert I will look to sell, Heitinga will be used in midfield. I do however feel i need another left back as back-up to Leighton Baines. [/SIZE]
Again, fair amount of quality players, The AMR + AML positions, can be covered by Pienaar, Bilyaletdinov, Osman and Gueye. Although i may look to shift osman, as he is not up to scratch, so another player may be drafted in there. As fellaini is going to be used in defence, I may need to bring in a more defensive midfielder to cover there.
Vaughan, for me, is not going to reach the potential to be first-team, He may be sold. Yakubu for now will be first choice, with Saha providing back-up. Jermaine Beckford will be placed on the transfer list.
Potential Transfers in;
LB – Dodo,Fabio Coentrao, Sebastian Boesnich.
DM – Anthony Annan, Lassana Diarra.
AMR/L – Nam tae hee, Sotiris Ninis.
Potential Transfers out;
Iain Turner – Transfer.
Tony Hibbert – Transfer.
Magaye Gueye – Loan
James Vaughan – Transfer
Jermaine Beckford – Transfer.
