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

[Blue Roo]

I agree. The thought of Gana trying to keep up with these Brighton attackers is already making me ill

He's not that bad at getting around.
Its his positioning and quality on the ball that does me head in

 

[Paul Rideout]

yeah I'm not into Young playing over Patterson TBH, its adding a defensive liability whilst also removing an attacking threat.

Young vs Mitoma is less than ideal

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Just don’t have gana in the middle carrying the ball and shooting conversions.

Have him sit in front of the back 4 only making 3 yard passes.

Brighton have a few injuries too, Gana can do a job.

Only their wingbacks are proper wingers and second strikers are also capable of playing wide. Feels like the entire game will depend on how Lallana and Gross can do with their position. If they maintain the structure throughout, we should be in for a good game.

Young vs Mitoma is less than ideal

Can see a booking in the first 15 then a long game for him/us. He won’t sub him off of course.

Would take a point and no injuries now I’ve seen Onana is out.

 

[Alan Whittle]

GET INTO THEM BLUE!

Young vs Mitoma is less than ideal

I can see another red.

 

[riddick]

Why? It’s 90% the team that beat West Ham last Sunday and that beat Burnley on Wednesday (Young for Patterson, Gueye for Onana, Doucs back in after being rested Weds)

your math is terrible

 

[Gilbert..]

The bench is scary.

ZInedine keane it is then in the 80th minute.

 

[chippy1722]

Onana needs to learn how to stretch more.

Probably stretching too much with those weird slide tackles he does.

 

[Lee Smith]

Back to 2 keepers on the bench again. GET IN! EV-ERRRR-TUNNNN!!!!

 

[Blue Roo]

He showed it against Doncaster. From those depths it takes aeons to get to PL levels.

Stars in his eyes, wants go off and razzle and dazzle, hesitates with what he should be doing.
Yah would say he doesn't put in enough defensively for Dyche to give him more minutes.
Hopefully he's had his head down and is working hard at it and has found a bit of grit and snide.

If we are sitting deep later on, wouldn't mind seeing him at 10 as an out with Beto. Let him go for it.

Dyche will surely be telling Gana to double up on that side more often than not. Regardless though, it’s going to be a difficult task. Young to be booked at +185 seems like free money.

 

[Gilbert..]

I can see another red.

You would think at 38 he wont dive into a stupid tackle early on. Mind you i thought that in the derby.
