Brighton manager is a small boy! Hopefully he will be ultra optimistic and our grocks will cynically batter them

A match thread pinned at the top?
I was enjoying the break from all this.

Everyone on here when Beto bags a hatrick Saturday afternoon

Dyche's early season record as a manager is awful, so I'd be pleasantly surprised if we didn't lose this.

 

[Nymzee]

Pretty sure we're gonna lose.

 

[JohnRoss23]

A hard fought draw I reckon. 1-1.

18th...

Hate playing Brighton the possession merchants

We'll try and dominate as it's the first game of the season, they'll pick us off on the break,0-2.

We definitely will not

Reasons to be positive:
- We've won the last 5 competitive matches at Goodison to nil
- Dyches record against Brighton is good
- Their managers first game in the PL, atmosphere should be good, last opener at Goodison etc

Pickford

Young
Tarks
O'Brien
Myko

Gana
Iroegbunam

Harrison
N'Diaye
McNeil

DCL

Subs (Assuming no one back) - Virginia Holgate Dixon Armstrong Doucoure Lindstrom Maupay Beto

* I think Harrison will be needed on the right to help out Young with Mitoma, Lindstrom can offer us an option off the bench
* Would bench Doucoure for this, N'Diaye the better option on the ball, and works hard enough

Probably the correct lineup with those available. Can’t see past Dyche starting Keane and Doucoure though. He’s too stubborn.

How long after the game ends does the relegation thread go up?

More like 5 minutes into the game

I fancy a 1-1 draw here, Jake O’Brien with a debut goal.
