Match Thread Brighton & H Albion vs Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[carolinablue232]

Watched Brighton last night, looked good to me, think we’re in for absolute tanking the way we’re defending at the moment.

They’ve been on the wrong end of a lot this season and still have an outsiders chance at top 4. They’re very very good. I’d consider a change in system to 5 at the back here tbh. Same goes for the city match and starting here at least gives them an initial go before that one. Doubt we see a change from Dyche though.

 

[Yarrgh]

C'mon you blues. Sneaky 3 points please. Leave them crying that they've been robbed.

 

[Toffeelover]

They beat Man U last night 1 - 0. What chance have we got ?

 

[TheBigIguana]

Under no circumstances will we get away with opening up here as much as we did against Leicester. We'll worry about that Monday though. I'm going to put Everton aside and enjoy my weekend. I'll check the table before kickoff.

 

[Lob]

I just hope that all the other results go our way with the teams around us so as to keep the damage to a minimum when we get comfortably beaten in this and the next. Best we can hope for really. Like Dyche said last year, "Everton don't know how to win and I'm fecked if i do either."

 

[Mr PEN86]

Anyone know if we're in the or kit on Monday?

 

[Somerset Blue]

Please win.

A defence with Patterson, Mykolenko and Michael keane will be taken apart by Brighton's attacking players. As someone else said a back 5 could be way to go for Brighton and city games

 

[Bluesaint]

I watched the game last night and was impressed by Brighton's ability to pass and control the ball. It stuck to their boots like a magnet. I think the whole team gave the ball away less in 90 minutes than just Iwobi and Doucore do in 45 minutes. We could be totally outplayed, or weirdly as its Everton, we could sneak a bit of a result.

They literally scored SIX in their game previous to that.

If a team is too open then they will punish them.

Palace looked good before we played them too. I think I'd prefer to wait until the game is ten minutes in before making any predictions of doom.

Will have to fight for the whole game, need atleast a point here and hope results go for us. Realky need pick up atleast two points from the next two games. Then have win one of the last two

 

[Mathieubleucoyb]

Mina is better than Keane at defending and a huge threat in set pieces.
Sean is getting us relegated.

 

[Naylor56]

I just think if we play direct and long we are playing into the hands of dunk and Webster.

Let’s be honest that’s the only way we can play

Don't think lewin will get a sniff against those two, and we just need to keep possession in midfield and be tight at the back, can't see a problem.
