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

[Rob17896]

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.

Can see a clean sheet if we treat them like City. 1-0 to us.

 

[God Benfrey]

Don't mind 5 at the back but can we put iwobi back on the left of that midfield three, he was playing way better there

 

[GoldenToffee]

Is this an Expected Defeat does anybody know?

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

It’ll never happen but I’d like to see us go 3-5-2, with DCL and Maupay up there together. Bin Gordon, Gray and McNeil altogether and really squeeze the middle of the park. Go long to Dom and have Maupay and Iwobi going beyond him, recycling out to the WBs if need be giving Dom a chance to get in the box and on the end of something.

Davies (I presume) and Gueye can sit in and protect.

Gray and/or Gordon for a bit later on against some tired legs and hopefully with a lead to protect.

As it is, of course, it’ll be Davies in for Onana and as you were. Dom waiting around for crosses that will never happen because our wingers would rather leg it down blind alleys but it’s cool because one just MIGHT take it himself and score a worldie.

Pickford
Myko Tarks Coady Patterson
Onana Iwobi
Gray Maupay Gordon
DCL

Begovic, Godfrey, Mina, Coleman, Davies, Gana, Simms, Cannon, McNeil.

No sense in keeping the same XI. Its not like they're about to go on a run of form. Half decent bench for the championship.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

He probably thinks 'GP crowd' meant 'Graeme Potter crowd' lol

This is actually the only way his post makes sense. He assumed the post he responded to was about them.

Onana suspended mate. And i think simms will be on the bench otherwise no point recalling him

 

[Thomasc]

I’d play Doucoure before Davies. To be fair though I’d try anything before starting Davies again in a PL game.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

2-1 everton. Goodison to be the difference.

Gordon and dcl

 

[Harryflashman]

Bookies have us as the clear underdog for tomorrow night.

I accept we probably should be but looking at the odds that’s really shocked me .

 

[DualityNSNO]

Why are people assuming that DCL is gonna play? We're at a point where this is not a given and we should be prepared for Maupay being useless up top.

 

[brieverton]

Depressing when you can make more of a case for Brighton to win at GP than Everton.

It seems like tempting fate to think we'll win, and wins are such a rare commodity these days.

Dyche was right.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Got to set up the way we did against City. Stay solid and hit them on the counter but offer a bit more quality on the break to actually create a few chances. They’ll want the ball and they’ll get it, be absolutely daft to go toe to toe with them as they’ll spank us.

If we set up properly, 1-0 to the good guys.

 

[blue to the bone]

Just win please. By whatever means necessary!

 

[gedefc]

Little point in that positive City result if its not followed up with 3 points tonight.

This Brighton side have a go, which I actually think favours us when we play at home
