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

[Sheedy's right knee.]

We have to play like the away team here and catch them on the break

We have to play smart. Press the ball but but not to high up the pitch. If we turn the ball over and make good use of the ball we can defo win this game.

We can win but it should be tight if both play well. We are getting a winning habit and that is helpful.

When teams come to us with " injury crises, ," bad form etc we usually get turned over 1-3

What’s encouraging is that even when we’ve been “good” in the past few years, and won games, it was by a goal. We never really put the opponent to the sword. Which we have done a few times recently now.

We could lose and there wouldn’t be shame in it, but I’m looking forward to the game because we are in the habit of handing out beat downs lately and I love it.

If Ashley Young plays right back - I can only see us getting beat TBH ..... Brighton have a very fast winger .....

I f Dyche gets the team selection correct, we should win - COYB .....

I see Patterson getting best just a much, we need to double up on him who ever plays

No chance Youngy starts after 95 minutes two days ago. Pats was fine after coming in and Dyche will give him a run now imo.

hahaha what happens you sell your best players every single year, only a matter of time before the replacements arent as good and you end up goosed

Dont laugh before the next two windows

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Another 5 - 1 please Everton.

Dycheball mastclass incoming.

Young is an early yellow all day of he starts against Mitoma. Usually takes Patterson 15/20 ins to get up to speed against someone decent . Who knows what manager does. Rest of team picks itself which is great

Pats will become a crucial part of the time once he's allowed an extended run with Harri ahead of him. It's good that we have two extremely hard-working wingers in the side. Young is an experienced head and an asset to the squad IF used correctly. It was right to bring him back in against Burnley, but you cannot have him playing 95 minutes on Wednesday and starting on Saturday. Plus you shouldn't be guaranteed a starting slot if you've picked up six yellow cards and 1 red card within 9 games. It's time for Patterson to have some trust put in him by Dyche.

The side is:
Pickford
Patterson-Tarkowski-Branthwaite-Mykolenko
Harrison-Onana-Garner-McNeil
Doucoure
Lewin​

Picks itself at the moment, and all 11 have earned the right to start.

Nice to be looking forward to a game again, for the first time for a while.

I like how the XI picks itself now really, very Moyes era like.

I'm once again caught in the trap of looking forward to our next match.

They start their moves from the goalie. If we get sucked into pressing too high they've got the ability to play through us and slaughter us.

They do take risks but their movement is so well coordinated, they always seem to have a couple of options for a simple pass. So our pressing has got to be equally well coordinated.
Frustrate them and they'll take bigger risks. Then hopefully we can pick them off.

Our confidence should be high enough for us to have enough composure and take
advantage and they have had a bit of an iffy start.

Should be a good duel between Branthwaite and Ferguson.

Get into them blues

Allright Elvis.

 

[The Binman]

We all know what happens here.. they need a win, probs a clean sheet, their striker needs a goal etc etc... along come the Everton in super form.... Will we get humbled... I'd take a 1-0 scruffy win all day

But Brighton do knock it about well.... fingers crossed eh!!

The side is:
Pickford
Patterson-Tarkowski-Branthwaite-Mykolenko
Harrison-Onana-Garner-McNeil
Doucoure
Lewin​

....and Dyche said that's exactly what Patterson needs. Crazy if he doesn't start. Agree 100% with that selection.

 

[Sharpy9]

Above them in the league.... 3 points

Villa also whacked us 4-1 there. But that was with michael keane so i instantly think that game is void.

Only the last game counts, unless we lose then its the previous game
