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

By this do you mean there’s 3 players that should be starting on there?

Perhaps, but Maupay and Holgate still lingering around. Freeze them out.

Ok that early teamsheet has surprised me
I thiught we were done with having to watch Keane
Come back soon Branthwaite

yup

 

[BlueStevie35]

O'Brien has gone from starting at Lyon, to being at best a 4th choice CB at a relegation battling side.

He's behind Michael Keane, who's not 100% and is coming back from injury..

I can't stand Dyche, such a poor manager.

At best? No he’ll be 3rd choice once Branthwaite is back, Dyche has gone safety first with it being first game

Keane is such a poor choice nor just because of typical awfulness , Brighton has some quick attackers which obrien would better suited for since he is rapid

 

[carolinablue232]

Dyche has troubles at home as it is, why not play off the crowd and go with the new signings?

Because Dyche will not change. He likes Doucs and his slugs out wide. It is what it is. Fully expecting the new boys to only get a chance when things go predictably poor and then Dyche will reluctantly admit he has to give them a chance.

safety first? it’s not the last game mate and we’re dependant on a result

 

[RomanReigns]

Why is our bench of 7 stronger than our starting XI

Its a valid point we have better options and he still goes with same mediocre players

39 year old Ashley Young. Jesus wept.

Mind boggling team selection but not unexpected

Are we gonna have this merry-go-round every year?

Where he stubbornly sticks with what he knows then gradually realises he's made a mistake and then introduces new ideas.

Thought he’d learned his lesson last season, seems sadly not.

 

[carolinablue232]

And Michael Keane with his 53rd chance to prove he’s not a walking mistake.
