Match Thread Brighton & Hove Albion v Everton, Preview, Report and MotM Poll

[Brett Angell Delight]

I'm thinking you can't have been following Everton very long then

30-odd years mate, and I can’t think of one of those where our final league position wasn’t a reliable indication of how we’d played over a season.

Hoping we can carry the goal scoring spree into today's match, so that will be a nil - nil then lol

I've got it as BTTS on my acca so it's all but nailed on

Reckon Duffy's still having nightmares about Richarlison after last game. Hopefully more of the same.

 

[Buckers]

Lawro predicts a win, merson predicts a win and two ex blues on football focus?????

It's a sign.

*fights default setting of pessimism*

Gylfi has also played a lot. It would be good to rest them both and play Bernard in the 10 role
But can we afford to?

Would actually like to see Bernard Central today and Richy and Walcott/ Lookman out wide. If McCarthy is fit would ideally like to see him partner Gomes to do the job of sweeping up when the fullbacks bomb forward. Maybe with the expected rotation we'll see the Baines in midfield experiment lol

Bernard had a stormer from the left the other day so would shy away from fixing what isn’t broken.

Think we've been playing better away so hopeful for 3, points

None of the above

Why? Sigurdsson has been fantastic for two games in a row now. Is obvious that we aren't as good without Gana and it almost necesitates us to play a back 3, do we really want to do that against these guys?

Can't argue with that either but if rotation is necessary Bernard through the middle would be my pick.

Talking purely in reference to rotation. Ideally I wouldn't change the squad at all from last game but with a heavy schedule it might make sense to rest our better players for an in form Leicester.

Id start rico instead of Walcott and play 532 with Bernie on left behind rico and let them both destroy

Rico for dcl is the change
