Oh Everton, don’t ever change.

 

[skumar55]

Having to look at other teams scores already who are going to struggle ;-(

 

[Kraken]

Isn’t there some Saudi Arabian field where doucs can be put out to pasture?
I’ve seen better mobility from bed ridden 40stone people who have to wash with a rag on the end of a stick. He is terrible.

Also McNeil, is he smoking weed before matches? Is there a dopier player anywhere in the world? It’s almost at the point that I think someone should hold a mirror by his mouth and nose to check he is actually breathing.

Get them off, get our new signings on.

I’d like to say it’s a bonus to have another sub to use because of their concussion sub, but our bench doesn’t have 6 worthy subs on it.

Ndiaye, Lindstrom, O’Brien, Armstrong, Metcalfe and Beto

 

[Tipp blue]

I’d like to say it’s a bonus to have another sub to use because of their concussion sub, but our bench doesn’t have 6 worthy subs on it.

Stupid rule that anyway.

 

[Bakayoko Stracqualursi]

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.

 

[Hellerad]

Tim the best player on the pitch. He wouldn’t be on the pitch if Garner was fit. I’m a garner fan too.

Imagine if we’d have started Lindstrom and Ndiaye? Perhaps they’d be the best players on the pitch?

The manager is the reason we’re so limited.

Maybe a chance to play Garner at RB. Dyche has done it before and Garner didn’t look out of place.

 

[Davideeyore]

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

100 % this

Dyche hasn't learnt. Hope he's sacked before the end of the season.

 

[pfim]

Yeah can't fault Keane today in fairness, Tarks has looked the shakier of the two. Myko also slow to close down which give Mintah the chance of half a yard to get the cross in.

Brighton will get more counter attacks like that as the game goes on so need to make a set piece count or mix up the forward line.

To be fair we can’t let Mitoma dribble the ball 40 yards through the middle of the park. Lots of breakdowns on that goal.

 

[Sharpattack]

At least Ipswich lost and Southampton are losing.

Southampton won’t lose. I’m sorry to inform you that I picked Newcastle in Last Man Standing. My record is abysmal

 

[Efcjake]

They've not been anything special

We are beating ourselves through inept attacking play.

That Minteh lad walks into our team and is our best player from day 1.

They've got about five of him on the bench.

 

[Dharma]

We don't do comebacks

Can only see them getting a couple more.

 

[windymiller]

Keane hasn't done much wrong really.

He hasn't, so far. Either way, buying a CB before a FB when we have 1 LB and 1 1/2 RBs (I'm counting Coleman, Young and Patterson as half each) was weird.

 

[Houghty19]

Obviously no changes will be made at half time. Dyche doesn't do halftime changes

 

[Efcjake]

Earned the same amount of points as us last season and we're at home. Define "miles ahead". These are the sort of games we have to pick up points in if we're to avoid our standard relegation battle.

They fell off big time in the second half of the season because of injuries.
