Match Thread Everton v Brighton - Preview, Match Report and MotM poll

[BenToffee79]

It looks like regular first choices Trossard, Webster, Duffy will be back in contention after missing the Chelsea game. BHA missed their first choice defence when conceding a soft goal, which made for a difficult come back. Dunk has a long term injury.

Brightons team inexplicably more experienced than the one Everton out out that night

Going away for a couple of days could i just remind anyone going to the game on Sunday - They're going to put up our recently lost friend Karl Graham @messymascot face and name up before the game along with other recently lost Evetonians R. I. P , if anyone can take a photo of his face on the big screen and post it on here his family would really appreciate it and would love to see it, @Reedy1979 or I can then forward it on to them. Happy New year to all our Blue Family.

I'd start Simms and bring DCL on for the last 20 minutes, we've got to be really careful about how he is eased back in.

A quad muscle tear for a young player who's game is all about pace and power is very serious and needs to be managed carefully.

I hear a Brighton player twisted his ankle in training today.. they are looking for a postponement.

I heard David Weir did it ....

1-1 think we wont be sharp at all with having had near 3 weeks off.

And let the excuses begin.

Fantasy football question here, given you play Sunday and Tuesday do you think Michael Keane will play both matches?

Oops my bad, I saw the game had been added yesterday and assumed it was this coming Tuesday, thanks pal, and good luck every time you play liverpool, you are the proper Merseyside club, they are mainly day trippers from Norway

I think this break came at a good time for us. We were on our knees.

Three weeks is not too bad. Should be ok.

Good Luck today ?

Who knows how this will go, even those at finch farm, or on the actual field - anywhere.
