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

[billyblue80]

Playing DCL and Gray up there gives us a chance to go more direct. One with threat in the air one with pace. Brighton are a good team but they do give you a chance

 

[Gilbert..]

All games for Everton are tough. I'd put this as winnable but not surprising if they turn us over.
Cant see them not scoring so we need a minimum of two. That in itself is hard for Everton.
Hopeful rather than optimistic.

If Brighton get an early goal, I think it'll be difficult for Everton to come back.

Brighton are brilliant in keeping possession, especially with Caicedo and Allister back in the squad.

Like I mentioned yesterday, Shutting down Mitoma will be key, that's even without mentioning trossard, Mitoma is brilliant, he'll be there next big sale if Caicedo / Allister don't go.

Be a brilliant game tho!

Your post scares me. Hadn't even heard of this Mitoma fella and now he's gonna tear us a new one ffs.

He was immense against us in the second half at the Amex, brilliant little player.

Was a beast at the World-cup for Japan also.

Could go any way this one so I'd plump for a 2-2 draw.... except we can't score 2 goals.

They don't half have an eye for a player them. Brilliant system they've built up. Buy unknown or relatively cheap up and coming players, keep a few years, sell high. Caicedo, Mac Allister, Mitoma (taking your word!), and Trossard probably the next ones if they can get the latter to sign a new deal. Everton, on the other hand, can't even give players away, haha.

Hi mate,

He means Everton playing 5 at the back. Goodison Park crowd. Not sure what you thought he meant?

Apologies, I thought it was referring to the Graham Potter crowd! Some haven’t quite gotten over the fact he is gone. Apologies for the mix up!

Trossard could go for free this summer! it's incredible really, surprised clubs haven't gone for him yet.

See this is the sort of scouting you'd expect for half a billion as well as the star names.

When are we gonna find a random dude like Mahrez for peanuts instead of splashing out on the likes of Keane and McNeil

 

[billyblue80]

Tough game but one we can win if we turn up, hoping beyond hope the city game is a springboard to some better form

But if we did the boo boys would be complaining that he’s never been tested in premier league or the shouts of playing in a farmers league.

Maupay with lighter hair stay well clear

 

[blue in oxford]

They will be worrying about us aswell we got to roar from whistle

 

[Verbal Kint]

Davies for Onana the only change I would imagine. Holgate/Mina for Godfrey perhaps might not want him playing two games so close together.
