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

[lungo]

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

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

Gomes on the bench?

 

[bag a yoko]

Brighton don’t have any creativity so the possession in front of our defence goes nowhere and I don’t think that we’re particularly worried.

However, they’ve started to throw in those long diagonals to get their wingers in a foot race against Young or Mykolenko and suddenly I’m worried about Mitoma against Young

They have João Pedro and Ansu Fati to come on. They will certainly bring creativity.

At the same time they'll leave space for Beto.

its HT, get bbc1 on, watch a try n a half.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Really good first half, just need to create a bit more with our counter attacks.

Onana out - knew it was stupid to go so strong against Burnley's reserve side, ffs. Dumb manager.

Absolutely staggered that he's starting 38 year year old Young just 48 hours after he played 95 minutes.

No punishment by the manager for 6 yellows and 1 red inside of 9 games? Ridiculous.

Still, think we will win and all will turn out well.

Dumb to try and get into the 1/4 final of a cup? Good call i say. Knock in minor from what im hearing and maybe doesn't want to risk him. Boys are doing OK without him so far.

Isn’t that Beto ?

 

[Lob]

Who cares about possession when we have had twice as many shots as them and 3 times as many on target. The strategy to win the game is currently working.

Thought I seen Gomes somewhere before, must’ve been that.

I think it might be the hell that awaits us all y'know, watching a calamity prone Everton 1-0 up for all eternity.

Exactly. What good is possession if you're not in the final third? Would like to see us passing slicker but apart from father that cannot complain.

Harrison and Garner need to get into the game though, both been poor imo.

At least we can bring on fresh legs in Danjuma and Beto at some stage this half.

 

[Bluerover]

Nevin always comes across as a bit of a knob’ead whenever he talks about us.

Completely agree.

Celtic fans can't stand him either.

Keane header on minute one, glad for the goal but sweating bullets 'cos he's on...

Doucoure giving Juao Pedro hugs and kisses there, FFS!

Mate, you should be staring him down and putting the fear of god into him, FFS!

 

[DanB90]

83% possession 1st half.

Now do goals.
