Match Thread Everton 0-3 Brighton - Sat 17 Aug 2024 - Kick Off: 15:00

It’s all about opinions mate isn’t it , like I say I wouldn’t be staggered if he did .

It doesn't bother me so much Keane getting a start. I think he's fully capable of putting in a good shift. It's just that Dyche will roll with Keane until it's way too late and a lot of damage has been done.

Well my advice is Matty if you go please don't shout out Itchy Bum any time Tim touches the ball even if it is easier to say

imagine

 

[matty1878]

I think he will go with Keane with JB out. Unfortunately.

don’t agree he will go with the new guy

Gonna be angry when Dyche starts with his mates instead of the best players.

Ndiaye should be in over Doucoure in account of Doucoure being mostly awful last season, and O'Brien has to be in ahead of Keane in defence.

I'd also suggest Patterson should start over Young simply because he's as bad as Young is, but ought to be physically fitter and less likely to cause a calamity in defence.

He's been nothing but a calamity in defence since he arrived here. That's why no Everton manager has wanted to play him.

Also, "physically fitter"? He's running back in to defence after being caught upfield with his head back and tongue hanging out. The unfittest 22 year old we've ever had.

I’d be amazed if Dyche plays Keane ahead of O’Brien with branners out, Young will be in at rb if sheamo is crocked as patterson is still injured. Keane is injured anyway isn’t he - Everton ptsd kicking off for some.

Hoping lindstrom and ndiaye start but would be happy if they come on, and Tim Irogbunam should be starting based on pre season performances, but not sure who would come in anyway, with Garner being injured?

Think Dyches decisions will be made for him with the knocks in the squad, which might not be a bad thing.

Think we may have a bit of something in this team with the new additions added to the solid base - hoping for great things for the old lady’s last dance.

UTFT. See you Saturday blues!

O'Brien should be starting

I’m not ready for this weekend

And I don’t think Everton are ready either

Hope you are right matty

A surprise 2-1 victory for the Toffees.

I have a nailed on tip. Cash in all your shares, use your mortgage payment, borrow the kids savings, borrow your families savings, sell your car and use the money, sell a kidney and put it all on Minteh to score. You’ll thank me at 5pm Saturday.

[Dwight K Schrute]

A surprise 2-1 victory for the Toffees.

Wish it would be. I'm confident we'll be comfortably safe this year, but with the fact we'll have Young playing and an unproven O'Brien or Keane against their pacy players, I think it will be an opening day humbling.

4-0 Brighton I reckon.

Hope you are right matty

The last dance thing btw made me think, no idea if they had e anything planned, but this season should have something similar done to the Michael Jordan final season documentary.

The mix of nostalgia, a sense of a historic last look, great PR and let's face it with everything happening around the club's ownership etc it's be great viewing for the car crash TV crowd.

 

[Remember-the-name]

Some negative beauts on here today. Deary me. Don't watch it then!

We will win on saturday.

UTFB !!!!!!!!
