Match Thread Everton v Brentford - Up for the Cup Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Doctor Blue]

Frank will have the toffees floating like a butterfly, stinging like a bee!
2-0 the toffee bees.

Difficult one to predict but the fans, the manager and the players should all be up for it, so Everton to win 2-0. I think he will have to line up this way
Pickford
Godfrey Keane Branthwaite
Patterson Mykolenko
Townsend Allan Gomes
Gray
DCL Richarlison

Subs: some goalie, Gordon, Iwobi, Dobbin, Coleman, Onyango, Gbamin

I would be worried about how slow that midfield is but not much choice. Feel Gordon would be on in 2nd half. Coleman saved for Newcastle which would see a very different team but roughly the same shape. He will have Dele Alli, VDB and El Ghazi to add to his choices then.

I suppose you can always try to sneak the extra player on the pitch. But hopefully we can beat them without having to do that. Still feel we have to have three in midfield so probably four at the back.

Really want to see Patterson play, perfect game for it.

Shame we can't see Dele and VDB.

The old 5-3-1-2 formation. A classic! I like your thinking. Seems only fair given our form and the quality of our players.

As Tranmere manager didn’t Aldo once sub a player off who’d just been red carded?

 

[Daytripper]

Dobbin might get a run out depending on how the games going and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Gordon start .

Hope for a few fresh faces here. PL must be the priority though unfortunately.

I know, on about Patterson, Myko, Dobbin etc.

 

[Cels]

It's time for Salomón Rondón to show his worth and Cenk Tosun to earn his keep. I'm hoping this will be a good old fashion 'get stuck in' FA Cup tie.

….I’d like to see Patterson/Gordon on the same flank, I think that has the look of a promising and progressive partnership.

A Stevens and Steven reincarnation would be a sight to behold. Make it happen Frankle.

Does anyone have 2 spare tickets. Happy to.collect with cash. Thanks Tony 07867767376

 

[NathDogg]

Haven't looked forward to the match for about 6 months, ever since that useless Spanish dinosaur was systematically destroying our club, and all the covid bollocks which have all now gone in the bin! Happy days!

Really looking forward to seeing what Fronk and his backroom team set us up like, and hopefully he plays a few of the youngsters.

Here's hoping for a nice, comfortable win to get the new era off to a good start.

Up the toffees!

Lets hope for a bit of "new manager" enthusiasm from the team to break him in, Brentford are no mugs but at least it's a cup game ahead of Newcastle away and Leeds at home in the league.
