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

[Yarrgh]

Goodison and fans do your thing.

C'mon you blue boys, let's get this over the line.

They are on a good run .

But we have to treat this like the cup game when we thumped them.

Tbf I think Gray and Gordon both like having the ball. Issue is they like having it too much!

really poor decision making from em both, but then again Gray wouldn't have scored dat screamer against arsenal if he didn't always try...

1 win in the last 3 so not quite as good as it was

Very decent that.

Think our next three game will be DDL just hope it's enough

 

[bluechris18]

Time for Gray to get to the bench. Always slows the game down by not passing quickly to teammates, or balloons one into row Z

 

[Billy Dean]

Wasn't he Villa's top scorer last season? I'm not saying he's all that, but I do wonder what is stopping him being considered.

We've just got a lot of players in his position I think. It was the one area we didn't need to strengthen in January.

 

[raiseyoureyebrow4thewin!]

After that additional interview where he was explaining the formation, I'd be shocked if he changes it back to a flat back 4 unless personell forces his hand.

He obviously feels we are massively weak at the back and likes the protection it provides, though it massively stifles us up top. I think hes got to bring DCL back in, Richarlison back out wide and I'd give Dele a go, we need someone who isn't afraid of having the ball.

psyops I guess, he can say one thing n do Anor. in super frank we trust.

I’d start DCL and put Richy out wide for Brentford. Gray needs taking out the team if he won’t keep up his work rate.

Can they treat it like the cup game and not play Eriksen please?

 

[Pootsy]

Soz, but I’d sacrifice your beauty sleep if it meant Ivan Toney not getting a wink

Just checking you spelt that correctly.

 

[edge]

A win any way possible come on lads.
2-0

 

[windymiller]

I'm going to go full Davek and make some ridiculous predictions.

Everton 0 - 0 Brentford
Leeds 1 - 2 Brighton
Spurs 3 - 0 Burnley

Everton 0 - 0 Crystal Palace
Aston Villa 2 - 1 Burnley

Arsenal 1 - 1 Everton
Brentford 2 - 0 Leeds
Burnley 1 - 1 Newcastle

Everton 39 points
Burnley 37 points
Leeds 34 points

We limp, rather than sprint, over the line.

(Leeds will probably rip this prediction up in the first game!)

After a brief hiatus from being a grump, Watford has put me right back in the Everton frame of mind.

At this point I feel very confident we will lose and Leeds will win. If this does indeed come to pass, I humbly request a Zoom call with the “happy with a point” brigade from the Watford thread.
