Match Thread Everton v Brentford. Preview, Match Report and MotM poll

[McCall2Radzinski]

Professional decorum means Brentford will try to win. But just **** off!

 

[twoblue]

A lot of Brentford players on yellows. Got to go down with any contact and get in the ref face.
Not my prefers tactic… needs must

 

[MrGrumpy]

Won’t they replace their guys on yellows off at half?

They did

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Godfrey for DCL?
DCL can't find the space or the right tun for the life of him. Don't know what he's doing out there.
Defence is wide open, is Godfrey fit

Mate. He scored the first, however scruffily and was central to us winning the pen. He’s been involved in everything good we’ve done going forward.

Made up I dodgy Box sky as sourness Ia gash, didn't even look at the penalty on Richarlson prior to the red and it wasn't challenged l, Jagielka needs to actually say something an add to the debate

Jags looked nervous as f tbh
I reckon he’s nervous about the game and maybe a bit about being a pundit too

 

[smileychap]

Yes anyone. Need to drop a forward for an additional defender too. We can win this. It’s all on Lampard shoulder now.

Brentford are on the beach, and so are Palace next week hopefully.

Win this and we're up. Gray/ Townsend can create problems if/when Gordon/Rico tire,

If anyone, Allan after an hour for Gomez who looks a bit leggy (albeit he's a player I respect after THAT injury).

Hope he hits a worldie to prove me wrong, but otherwise yeah - Allan - and the lads above to keep up the threat to see the game out.

Then we're up and let the planning for 2022/23 begin with a crop of young players and young manager I'm enjoying watching.

 

[Lee Smith]

Gomes still on then ?

 

[GT77]

Anyone know when our other centre backs are expected back from injury? Presumably the straight red card means Branthwaite is banned for the remainder of the season.

Frank said Keane is missing because he felt unwell overnight so he could be back soon.

 

[lieneverton]

The fact they've taken Sorensen off speaks volumes. They'll know they're lucky to still have 11.

Top player Jags.

 

[Houghty19]

Missed it earlier but can anybody explain how we didn't get a pen just before the sending off with richarlison nearly losing his shirt to the Brentford player.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Commence operation snide

 

[Bebeto]

Referees are a joke...now Brentford sub the defender that should have been sent off with a second yellow...

 

[knowing your history]

Allan for Gomes?

Has to be really. Get Allan to sit on Eriksen.

Perhaps take DCL off as Gordon and Richi will chase down any hopeful punts. Three attackers on feels a luxury now.

Allan's the only experienced defensive option on the bench anyway as don't really want to see Kenny in this situation.

 

[Blue Roo]

DCL has been very effective

reckon started off ok but has lost his way
