Author | Sarah W

Last game at Goodison Park

Tony: 4-4-2. Howard, Coleman, Stones, Lescott, Baines, Kanchelskis, Speed, Carsley, Richarlison, Lukaku, Rooney. Each player consistently performed at a high level during their time with Everton. The side has a bit of everything: pace, aggression, tenacity, intelligence, precision and ruthlessness.

Drew: 4-2-3-1. Southall, Baines, Branthwaite, Stones, Coleman, Arteta, Cahill, Speed, Grealish, Ndiaye, Lukaku. That is a proper Everton team.

Samir: 4-2-4. Pickford, Coleman, Tarkowski, Jagielka, Baines, Arteta, Cahill, Kanchelskis, Pienaar, Lukaku, Campbell. Strong at the back, creative in midfield, with pace in abundance and plenty of goals.

Pickford has been picked by most fans we spoke to

Jamie: 4-5-1. Pickford, Coleman, Tarkowski, Stones, Baines, Ndiaye, Cahill, Barry, Gueye, Grealish, Lukaku.

Alex: 4-4-2. Pickford, Unsworth, Distin, Branthwaite, Tarkowski, Reid, Gravesen, Arteta, Gueye, Rooney, Lukaku. This side combines flair, grit and physicality in equal measure.

Paula: 4-4-2.  Howard, Coleman, Jagielka, Lescott, Baines, Arteta, Cahill, Gueye, Kanchelskis, Rooney, Lukaku. A bit of everything here that could well get the side into the top 6 of the Premier Leagye.
