Match Thread Everton v Brighton Hove Albion - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Tubey]

To be honest though, it's a good chance to see just how good James can be for us. If he can get a tune out of us with the axis of diarrhoea that is Sigurdsson and Davies in the same team, then he's the greatest footballer who ever lived.

 

[ChesterBlue]

We need to sign two or three central midfielders before deadline day as a matter of urgency.

I think when Godfrey comes in, we may try and use Holgate as a rotation for Allan, and I’m not necessarily that against Siggy playing Gomes’ role. But we can’t be playing Davies in the premier league

 

[BlueToff]

Gomes passes backward more than anyone in our team. We ignore it but cause when he does play forward it looks great.

Gomes has been pretty good so far this season.

He keeps things ticking over and a midfield needs that.

He'll be a miss today, just hope Gylfi and Davies step up.

 

[Lelouch]

lads lads we have DCL Richarlison and James on the pitch lets not focus on the midfield.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

when did Gomes get injured? he completed the last PL game..during training?

He's injury prone mate.

Always has been.

I really like Davies as he's a local lad and grew up with the club but, man, he's really really terrible at just about everything. He came on last week at the end and gave the ball up twice in about 5 seconds in the defensive 3rd. I don't get what he offers anyone..

 

[joebocop]

wonder if doucoure will play the more defensive role today? was really hoping davies wouldn't play for us again.

Oh God not the "makes us tick" label

 

[Zezti]

All those in favour of putting Nkounkou as CM instead of Davies?...

 

[Brendan Janus]

Davies for Allan

 

[tellmema]

Probably been posted already, but seeing Davies starting, for the first time this season I'm concerned..

 

[kiss the crest]

Anyone know what channels its on today?

The hope is it's just a really extended loss of confidence, so a form issue.

But you have to go back to 2017 for when he last had a half decent game, or at least it feels that way... so the odds are he's just turbo gash at this point.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Come on, Tim....

Tom, I mean...Tom.

Doucoure with a MOTM performance today.
