Brentford are not great either.

orrect Score: Brentford 2-1 Everton (Sky Bet odds: 7/1)​

• Saturday, 15:00

Brentford came back from two goals down against Fulham before conceding late to lose 3-2, a deserved loss based on the quality of chances created in the game (xG: FUL 2.83 - 1.66 BRE).
The Bees return home this weekend, and Thomas Frank's side have been excellent in front of their own fans since promotion to the top flight.
Last season they ranked as the seventh best home side in the division, averaging 1.64 xGF and 1.07 xGA per game, and hammered Manchester United 4-0 in their only home game of the season so far.
They welcome a winless Everton side to London, with Frank Lampard's side struggling, especially defensively.
The Toffees have allowed 1.79 xGA per game across their opening trio of matches, and have a miserable away record under Lampard.

Everton collected just four points from a possible 27 on the road after the appointment of the ex-Chelsea coach.
From an underlying number perspective, in that time only relegated Watford and Norwich accumulated fewer xP per away game than Everton (0.76), while only Southampton and Norwich allowed more xGA per away game than the Toffees (2.35).
Home win.

What's that now?

 

[blue to the bone]

Maupay with a brace.
2.1 us !!

 

[EvertonFL]

Might as well copy and paste any match thread from this season and just change the opposition name. Nothing is going to change until we get some much needed creativity and firepower in the side.

Last night's 1-0 win just made our troubles all the more glaringly obvious so unfortunately until it is sorted, we won't be winning a PL game.

Brentford 2-1 Everton

Can't see anything other than a defeat unless we can get some firepower up top in the next 24/48 hours.

UTFT!!!

We’ll lose 3 or 4-1

 

[maccavennie]

We’ll lose 3 or 4-1

Thanks mate.

Activate: Maupay debut winner

 

[PhilRegan]

That award still goes to United. We’ll only lose 3-0.

I think we ll trump them it's Everton

 

[PhilRegan]

only if the ref gives them another penalty or sends another one of our players off

They won't need officials this time

 

[Mosh Pit]

Maupay with a brace.
2.1 us !!

Knee brace?

Trying to follow the logic here. Why are we going to lose by 3 or 4 to Brentford when Chelsea and Villa only beat us by 1 and Forest didn't beat us at all?

 

[Dame Judi Dench]

We can cause an upset at Brentford by staying tight and compact and launching it over their press.

If we try and play football we will lose like Man Utd did a few weeks ago.

Hopefully Rondon won’t start.
