Match Thread Everton 0-3 Brighton - Sat 17 Aug 2024 - Kick Off: 15:00

[Bob Latchford]

Am I overexaggerating to say Tim looks better on the ball than Onana ever did?

The early signs are that he’s been a very good signing and great value for money. Hopefully the others start just as well!

 

[Bristol Blue]

Jeez McNeil couldn’t even spit properly there

 

[allen]

McNeil gobbing all down himself the perfect way to start the second half.

 

[maccavennie]

Gotta have the slowest front line in the league

100%

 

[Librarian]

Got to get more goals into the team

 

[JohnRoss23]

Any changes or is Dyche content?

 

[Mozza1987]

Love to know how Doucoure has come back out lol

 

[blueblood]

That first half has been a mirror of the opening few games of last season

With the same negative team selection as well. Did the same last season when he started with Keane and left Branthwaite on the bench. Has to be bolder. Really can’t face another dour relegation struggle.

 

[gianthogweed]

Dyche will make subs if and when they get a 2nd

 

[knowing your history]

Team out early.....no subs.

 

[windymiller]

No subs. Huge shock.

 

[Drico]

Every single season I can remember we always take an eternity to blood in new signings to the point of always playing catchup for the rest of the season taking months to build momentum. This "faith in the players already there" needs to be weeded out pronto. Keep faith in the same players we know inside out who will never improve and have had us in relegation scraps every year? Insanity.

I agree. But our club is in such a state that it's asking too much to have eight new starters - because that's what's actually needed.

Dyche's problem is he is too stubborn to even start the four he could have.

 

[Bedfordblue]

McNeil with his best dribble all game while coming out of the tunnel there.

 

[Efcjake]

They ain't all that. As I said, home games against the likes of these we need to be picking up points

They'd be better if they spent money on anything other than exciting wingers.

They've got a load of them that walk I to our team. Everywhere else on the pitch they're nothing special.

 

[bluestevon]

No changes, no shock.
