Ian Wright and Martin Keown pick an Everton XI which they feel will get the best out of Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Ronald Koeman will not be picking the Everton team any longer.
The Dutchman has been sacked after the Toffees slipped into the Premier League relegation zone with yesterday’s 5-2 defeat at home to Arsenal.
Match of the Day pundits Ian Wright and Martin Keown had a go at selecting a starting XI which they think would help Koeman’s successor lift Everton up the table.
There were only three personnel changes from the lineup which started against the Gunners – with Mason Holgate, Tom Davies and Kevin Mirallas coming in.
But the former Arsenal duo did suggest some significant tactical alterations to the front four.
Gylfi Sigurdsson, yet to score or assist a Premier League goal since his arrival from Swansea City, is moved into the No.10 position from where he bagged nine goals and supplied 13 more last season.
The Icelander was predominantly used out wide by Koeman, but Keown and Wright want Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Mirallas, who has not started a league game this term, on the wing.
This front four would inject some much-needed pace to the Everton flanks and use Sigurdsson and Wayne Rooney in their natural positions.
Food for thought for whoever is appointed in place of Koeman.
