Match Thread Brentford v Everton - Preview, Match Report and 3-day MotM Poll

[Bluebonic]

In the tunnel tomorrow all laughing and joking with their players as usual i guess. Be steely,glare at them,ignore them, Yocker at them and beat them. No love in's for this one please.

Fixed!

Drop either Doucoure or Onana and get James Garner in the middle. We need to pass through midfield instead of just lumping it.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Reckon it starts to click in front of goal and we come out comfortable 2 nil winners. And so begins the journey of born again Dyche football!

 

[Ralphie Boy]

Another game, another defeat.

heartless, passionless, poor players with another poor performance.

Games played goes up, goals conceded goes up,
position goes down.

the slow demise of the once (be it for a short time) great club is all but complete with the intro of 777 and the persistence with Dyche and his archaic tactics with like for like subs, but only once the game has gone.

Oh the life of an EvertonIan.

I can’t remember when I last looked forward to us playing. The joy really has been sucked out of supporting Everton. I’ve seen other people saying they’ve reached the point of being apathetic to the whole thing. Wish I felt like that and it didn’t bother me as much!

And we're on Sky again - aren't I lucky

 

[Bluewater]

Not getting beat today would be a good result. Something to build on for the next two home games against Luton and Bournemouth.

DCL to start please

Not if it's instead of Beto. He'll bully the Brentford defence and needs as much playing time as he can get, especially with the easier games coming up where he can help reduce the minus GD

That low Patterson cross for Danjuma's goal showed that it doesn't only have to be lump it onto the centre forward's bonce. That said, Young is not the right man for set pieces as he's been woeful. McNeil or Garner for me.

 

[TyphooToffee]

On the minibus down there, not really looking forward to it.

You are in our prayers

Our brave lionhearts will be up for this.
I am more optimistic than many on here: many say a 3-0 loss while I think we lose by only two unanswered goals.

Managing our negative GD vs Luton's, Sheffield's and Burnley's is all important and a mere 2-0 loss to a traditionally superior club like Brentford is a feather in our brave lionhearts' cap. I think Luton, Sheffield and Burnley lose their equivalent Brentford (away) fixture by more than two goals...so kudos to our lionhearts. But let's not go overboard in celebrating a 2-0 loss: on the back of this, anyone considering an open-top-bus 'quasi' victory parade around the streets of L4 need to cool their jets. Yes, we are good...but we are not that good. Yes, we should be proud....but not too proud.

Don't underestimate Sheffield United's resilience.

We win this, Beto savages them as we go full long ball for 90mins.
Onana out for rest of season with neckache watching Pickford lump the ball every single time.

Makes me think of the matchstick-man drawing someone posted a while back!

Beto has come in keen, lively and full of confidence, we need to use that before we Everton it out of him

Good call
