Football Forum: Everton's formation not the right one to choose at home

SO we go 4-5-1 at home against Wolves (Stoke the other week). Saha did nothing on his own up front – not his fault at all. When we went 4-4-2 we created quite a few chances.
No disrespect to teams like Wolves and Stoke but we should be going at them from the off, all guns blazing and putting them to the sword with our experience in the Premier League.
We've got the players to do it, so why not?
Is it because David Moyes is too defensive-minded and sets his teams out not to get beaten, instead of going out for the win?
I can just about understand going 4-5-1 away from home, but not at Goodison against the teams mentioned.
SATURDAY’S result against Wolves was extremely disappointing on the back of the two points dropped against Stoke.
Those matches should have yielded us maximum points and come the end of the season we could well rue losing those four points if that’s the difference between a qualification place for Europe or not.
Leighton Baines is spot-on.
Like he said in an interview this week, we just cannot afford to give away any more points at home if we have any aspirations of finishing in the top five.
