"The Notts County side is still coach Zhou Xu's 532 defensive formation. Compared with the starting lineup with Bolton, there is no change at all. Alisson is the goalkeeper, and Stones, Maguire and Ilori are in the defense. Side Robertson and Niemann at wing back, Pogba, B seat and Kanter in the midfield, and double forward Origi Gavardi.

Everton's tactical formation is still 433.

The starting goalkeeper is the 32-year-old American national goalkeeper. Tim Howard, this American goalkeeper has only conceded 28 goals in 25 Premier League games, and has had 9 clean sheets. Even at the age of 32, Howard still has very good reflexes, which will give No.

The central defender combination is Veloso and Filjagaiuka. Veloso has rarely served as a central defender before. There is a question mark as to whether he can complete the defensive task of the center defender well. Gauka is very good, he is one of the best defensive players in the Premier League, and his header is also very threatening.

The left back is Neville Jr. from the Red Devils' golden generation in 1992. Although Phil Neville is 35 years old. He is old, has serious physical decline, and is very slow, but his skills are still excellent. It is difficult for anyone to break through his defense on the wing.

Coleman at right back is just the opposite of Neville Jr., he is only 23. At 20 years old, this future star of Everton obviously has very good potential. The Irishman has good physical fitness. Although his passing and foot skills are slightly poor, he still needs to improve. He has already started in the Premier League and he obviously has good potential in the future. However, compared to Neville Jr., his defense is far inferior, but his relative offensive ability is better than Neville Jr.

Everton's midfielder is somewhat lacking in offense but more than defensive, and the midfielder is the Dutchman Heitinga. His characteristics are very distinct. As a single defensive midfielder, he is very fierce in defense and can protect Everton's defense very well. However, in Everton, he plays more of a central defender position. Strangely enough, he is a defensive midfielder. Fulton head coach Moyes made him the starting midfielder in this game.

In addition to defense, Heitinga also has excellent jumping ability and assists. However, he is not perfect. The disadvantage is that he is not calm enough in the game and is a little irritable, which makes him easy to receive red and yellow cards. He was sent off directly for a flagrant foul once this season.

The midfield partners are Rodwell and Fellaini, who are only 20 years old. Rodwell is young and promising, and has now become a rotation player at Everton. Due to Cahill's yellow card suspension, he was able to start in the League Cup final. Relatively speaking, Rodwell's ability is not outstanding. , he is more of a midfielder. He defends well and passes well, but he is not top-notch.

Fellaini from Belgium is top-notch. This 1.94-meter-long pompous head has a very good head. Ball ability. His mental attributes are also very good. He often encourages his teammates to continue fighting when the team is at a disadvantage. As a midfielder, Fellaini also has good passing ability. Similarly, Fellaini can also participate in defensive steals..

In the frontcourt position, on the left is Russia's Villaletinov. This Russian is actually mainly a midfielder, but due to the scarcity of Everton's wings, he can only play as a left winger. In Everton's games, Villaredinov rarely takes the initiative to break through people and enter the penalty area to try to score. He is mainly used as a wide midfielder. Together with Neville Jr., Everton's defense on the left is impregnable, but the offense is somewhat lacking.

The right winger is Kalou from Cote d'Ivoire, a fast winger. Similar to many African players, he has a very good body, but his skills are a bit rough, and he relies more on explosive crosses to create threats. However, this attack method is very effective, because Everton has a lot of bouncing header experts.

The forward player is Senegal's Diouf. He is not Everton's regular starting forward. The previous starting forward was Wagner Lowe. This Lowe is the same Lowe who joined Shandong Luneng in 1314. However, Diouf is actually the third forward. Lowe was absent for a month due to a calf muscle strain and missed this game. He was signed by Everton from CSKA Moscow in the Russian Super League for 8 million euros.

The second forward is Cahill, who often plays a guest role, but unfortunately he cannot play due to accumulated yellow cards and suspensions. Diouf is characterized by exaggerated physical fitness and very fast speed. He is simply a rampaging human tank. Head coach Moyes often uses him as a substitute to rush forward when the opponent's defense is weak. This is also his shortcoming. Diouf's physical strength cannot support him to play the whole game and maintain fast speed."

At the beginning, Everton seemed very proactive.

The cooperation of Diouf and Kalou won them a corner kick.

Although Fellaini hit the ball, the ball went higher than the goal range due to Maguire's interference.

However, the threat of the Belgian pompom is real.

The Belgian man who will work in China in the future is now at his peak.

In the 8th minute of the game, there was another opportunity for Everton.

Midfielder Pogba was intercepted by Heitinga.

After the ball was transferred, Everton immediately changed its formation and started to counterattack.

After stealing the ball, Heitinga passed the ball to Bilyazinov on the wing. No one was staring at him, and Biliazinov was very comfortable. A long pass came, and the ball went through a wonderful arc and found Luka on the other side.

Kalou was guarded, Robertson immediately attacked, and Kanter was also helping to defend.

Kalu had no choice but to pass back.

After Coleman received the ball, he passed the ball directly.

Diouf received the ball and turned around to make a pass, but was stabbed by Maguire.

The ball staggered to Fellaini's feet outside the penalty area.

Lenny faced Kante and Pogba who were attacking and took a long shot.

The ball drew a wonderful arc.

Fortunately, the Wembley goal was not high, and the ball almost missed the crossbar and flew out.

Bottom line, Notts County escaped with a bullet

"Niemann, keep an eye on Villaredinov, come up to grab him, and let Ilori fill the position behind you."Zhou Xu felt a little uncomfortable. He made a miscalculation. He originally thought that Villaredinov was no match for a man, so the threat from the right would not be great. However, this long pass from Villaredinov was accurate and full of threats. If he didn't Keeping an eye on the target, he made a few more wonderful passes and his own goal was lost.

Now Zhou Xuchun was tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, but there was no other way. If Villaredinov could still make a comfortable long pass, Ever Donton didn't even need a midfielder to deliver a lot of high balls, allowing Everton's tall man to hit the header.

Two minutes later, Notts County got a counterattack opportunity from Pogba in the midfield. Ni, then faced Heitinga's pressing, he dunked the ball, looked up and saw Veloso and Filjagaiuka also grabbing the ball, and chose to split the ball.

Origi on the left received the ball. Next to him was Coleman, who was closely guarding him. Due to the defender's attack, there was a gap in front of Origi.

The 16-year-old Origi exerted his strength and passed by the equally young 23-year-old with a simple pass. Coleman faced the goalkeeper alone.

Facing Howard, Origi shot a blast, but Howard blocked it with his body. The ball rolled to the side and was kicked out of the baseline by Phil Neville for a corner kick.

"Pogba's steal was in front of the penalty area, and Fellaini had not yet entered the game. Facing the press, Pogba actually picked the ball out. Origi received the ball. The Belgian boy faced the equally young Coleman. Passed! Origi single-handedly hit the goal! Unfortunately, Howard is still experienced and he attacked and blocked most of the shooting angles."

Origi was a little in disbelief. He held his head in discomfort. Vardy and Pogba came up to comfort him.

Although Zhou Xu was a little upset on the sidelines, he still applauded and encouraged the players.

Corner kicks naturally have no results. , after all, Everton are full of tall, capable bombers who can jump and header the ball.
