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

I see that 9 out of the staring 11 are last seasons failures, then my heart sinks somewhat.
Playing with confidence could be the difference, but no midfield shield with the Tom/Gylf combo.
Could be a long day this. Or we smash them.
May their shooting find our stands instead of the woodwork.

And Pickford has never scored a goal, cos that's not his job either.

A central midfielder has a responsibility to tackle and not be a sieve for players to run through though.

Moaning about Davies, moaning about Pickford, moan moan moan, stop it!!

Pickford does stink though

 

[RFUS]

Gylfi has been good this season off the bench. Not worried about him stepping in for Gomes.

Davies for Allan is the big miss. But let's get behind Tom and hopefully he can have a good game.

Doucoure with a MOTM performance today.

Will need to be carrying Davies haha

Nobody ever kept fabulous hair while tackling.

 

[gonetomorrow]

This could be 4-3 or 5-4 or summat.

 

[Jim Hopper]

You all worry too much lol

Ancelotti has got this

 

[BigBlueConk]

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.

He played well on his debut and been all downhill since!
I would love him to be ace though. Wont happen.

I know you all hate stats but they have one for times dribbled past and Gomes was actually the 0 percentile last season. No one gets beat as often as him.

Ahhhhhh the stats, apologies it must be true then !

 

[HTCHERO]

Anyone taking bets on what minute into the game Sigurdsson hides?

 

[Saint Domingo]

That midfield looks horrific. Hopefully Doucoure can carry the other two. Injuries will derail this season if we’re not careful. Can’t believe there’s so many already.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Nobody ever kept fabulous hair while tackling.

James puts tackles in at a reasonable level. And it is less his job. Great hair too.

 

[Lob]

More than enough strength and quality to beat these and everyone bar kenny will be back after the break so its all good.

Lets give them a hiding please blues.

You all worry too much lol

I still remember Bournemouth at home not too long ago!
