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

[Chegsy]

The way Gordon is playing, and the way Grey has played all season, and the all-round ability of Richy I'm not sure DCL is an automatic starter in a front three, even when fit. Difficult to drop any of them.

Be interesting to see who he picks against Newcastle.

Lampard's missus looks absolutely delighted to be here.

Myko's a work in progress.

Indeed, but he had some good moments in the first half. Big guy, not scared. I like him.

Richarlison then not playing in Gray so he can shoot from 25 yards. Frank needs to sort the decision making

 

[Nyhus]

This is so weird...

What if Dave is right about him ??

I am willing to bet money, that there has not been an Everton game on TV in the last 15 years where there hasn’t been complaints about the commentary on this forum or on twitter lol

Every single football match Everton have been involved in as long as I remember, people moan about the commentary lol

Efan Ekoku, he's from Liverpool and a well known RS fan.
I think that tells you all you need to know.

 

[Mashtray]

Richy you greedy git

Yeah that's easy ball

 

[devogue]

these commentators are praying for us to lose

Maybe we'll see Patterson for Coleman in last 5-10 min ?

I've actually built up a bit of optimism over the last week thinking the club are finally making a few decent decisions that could actually move the club forward rather than slipping further in to a relegation fight.

Then I had a read through this thread and realised it's the same circus with the same monkeys so with the new signings cup tied we can only expect the same poor performance. Lampard hasn't had the time to impose any kind of new style on the team so I genuinely wouldn't be surprised by a defeat here.

1-0 Brentford with the goal coming from a Keane error

It looks like my pre-match pessimism has gone the trick. Expect a defeat and Everton step up to prove he wrong. I might have to be pessimistic every week.

Richy and gray need to sort out their unwillingness to pass to each other. Its gonna cost us in the future.

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Has Mykolenko been poor or do you think he's saving him for Newcastle.

Both I think.

Myko's going to need some adjustment time. Plenty of blame to go around for their goal but he made the first mistake by playing them onside.

How many subs do we get? we've used 3.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Aside from a Pickford blunder or 2, we actually look defensively better then when the Spanish lunchbox was coaching us. Aka the defensive master.

Lampard would have uncorked that, too.

Richarlison has never been the best about giving up the ball if he thinks he can have a go at goal.
