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

[Curtis]

I hope I'm wrong and Everton pull some fluky magic where they can contend with Brighton but they're so quick and rapidly direct with ball they basically play like ajax so many one touch passes all linked to a sequence of attractive attacking football while we struggle to make one simple pass forward without it straying off course into the path of an opposing player. They do have a weak spot , they're weak on set pieces but I fear if Keane is playing he's going to get roasted like a rotisserie chicken

 

[The Hibbert Agenda]

We simply have to play Neal Maupay, a man with a point to prove

 

[JamesEFC]

Regardless of result I just hope for a good solid performance similar to Leicester.

Our ability to string two good performances together worries me, even if loose but show there’s a bit about us it will give me confidence going into the last 3 particularly Wolves away.

3.1 Brighton.

Brainfarts for the their two goals. Then we chase shadows for most of the game as we can't cope we any team that can pass a ball.

Ponzi FC next. Doomed

Fixed it for you mate.

 

[PrekisCrossBarlow!]

I think with a complete change of tactics we could stay in the game with Brighton and even look to get a point.
I'd go 6/7/3:
Pickford.
Patterson, Godfrey, Mina, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko.
Gray, Iwobi, Onana, Gana, Garner, Doucoure, McNeill.
DCL, Maupay, Simms.

No place for Michael Keane I'm afraid.

They play tonight, so hope for injuries and suspensions

We'd get crowded out in midfield, that defence looks leaky and can't see where the goals come from.

 

[Buckers]

We need to put the biggest 11 players we have on the pitch and just pummel them into submission. I have given up on everything else.

 

[brian labone]

I just hope Dyche remembers that we do have subs on the bench.

 

[Cels]

​

A hard-fought draw on the cards for this one.

Anything other than a total pasting is a bonus IMO. A draw would be great. A win? incredibly unlikely.

I am hoping for a Fulham-esque meltdown with reds for McAllister, Mitoma and De Zerbi. GroB, Welbeck and March all pull up with hammys.
