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

[Tel001]

17 per cent posession

That low? I know we haven’t had much but maaaate… that’s low

 

[bluelife]

Dyche earns his pay now regarding Gueye. Either finds a way to sub him and have a working system, or drills into him not to get a second yellow.
Terrified.

Look at the table - what a huge 3 points this would be.

 

[Delargeinho]

Dychey set us up well today. 17% possession is low, but still we had more and better chances than Brighton. I like us becoming more and more that pain-in-the-neck team everyone hates playing against. Not easy making a team like Brighton not to create chances, I hope we can continue like that in the 2nd half.

Who with?
No midfielder on the bench worthy of coming on

Even the Toffee Lady would suit me. Would offer at least the same with the ball and probs not getting the second yellow.

Harrison is shocking offensively, works hard but loses the ball every single time .

Works hard off the ball and never leaves the fb outnumbered which is good, but it would be good if he didn’t have to run backward all match because we actually had some possession

He is working hard and keeps Mitoma quiet, cutting the way on his right foot?

Prob Doucoure dropping down with McNeil in the centre if Gana really looks in danger of being sent off. This game is going to need all our 'runner' type players on deck

 

[bag a yoko]

Very good performance.

Brighton are one of the best possession sides in Europe.

You need to be tight and counter.

Brilliant goal by Dunk though. VAR is a misery machine.

 

[gianthogweed]

Brighton are like how we used to be under Martinez tippy tappy crappy that Mitoma is class though

That low? I know we haven’t had much but maaaate… that’s low

Does doucoure have it in him to play that deep role again. I don't think he does. So Gueye to stay on and we hope he avoids a second yellow.

 

[DanB90]

Would sub Gana, he's a walking second caution.

Don’t think we have any midfielders on the bench.

Actually, we have Gomes. Which is the same thing.

 

[Victus]

Will be a hair loss type of 45 minutes this, just somehow get over the line Everton and we might be able to genuinely look forward this season.

 

[lungo]

Doucs doesnt have the discipline Gana has. A clear... no

 

[Tel001]

He is working hard and keeps Mitoma quiet, cutting the way on his right foot?

Yeah defensively he puts a shift in and pulls his weight, but giving the ball away literally every time … just invites them onto us and I do t fancy us keeping a clean sheet if they’re camped in our half for the next 45 mins
