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

[Yarrgh]

GK: Hart wannabe
LB Digne
CB Mina
CB Holgate
RB Son's friend
MF The ballboy that went face to face with Klopp
MF Traffic Cone
MF One of Bill's Lawnmowers
RF Richarlison
CF DCL
LF Bernard

I'm looking at some long balls, quick breaks, and the traffic cone and lawnmower to sit in front of the keystone cops in defense. Ballboy will add some dynamism.

With all that has gone on since Sunday this is a frighteningly massive game for everyone involved , defeat is not an option .

This is Everton, I think you'll find it is.

But yes, praying for a win, don't care how.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

 

[scotchbutterpin]

draw

 

[TheBigIguana]

I’d go for

Stek
Coleman Holgate Mina Baines

Richi Davies. Bernard
Gordon
DCL Kean

I like it. We don't have any midfield when we do play midfielders so why bother?

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

The presser will be very interesting this week and may reveal if Carlo is more concerned with results or controlling the dressing room. I suspect the former which would mean we will defo see Sggy but hopefully not pared with Schniedenfraud in either scenario, or ever again for that matter..

 

[GwladysPhil]

I may be closer to the pitch in the park end so may beat you to it mate

Bother, thats exactly where I am haha.

 

[Faroy86580]

I'm scared that Carlo will just leave after trying to think of a team to write on the teamsheet, he gives a shrug and just writes 'CAZZO' then walks out

 

[andy4efc]

So GET YER COAT ON, AN GET MOVIN

 

[T LEAFE]

Mooy v doubtful and Burn injured
We might stand a chance

 

[Furey1878]

Get Baines in, still got faith in Digne but not convinced he's fully fit and looks bereft of confidence. Delph and Davies replacing those two frauds in the middle of the park. Bernard and Richarlison on the wings, DCL and Kean up top.

 

[Bigduke1234]

Wonder if he'll send the same players out and say go on then prove them wrong. It's not like we've got many options anyway.

You’d think Carlo won’t be a one strike and you’re out guy, so I’m thinking this is a possibility. Go and prove to the fans you care!

 

[Faroy86580]

Would have Holgate in a back three as the 'libero' free to be a sweeper in defence but also to advance with the ball and pass it, he's got an eye for a pass.

Having three at the back gives another man to pass to to beat a high press or a counter press; in a team which is poor technically (that's us if you can believe it).

Two wingbacks overlapping, a compact centre with wingers cutting into the box to atrack, and providing numbers to defend against breakaways and to cover for the overlapping and advanced position of the wingbacks.

Pickford
Keane Holgate Mina
Sidibé ---------------------------------Digne
Delph
Richarlison---------------Bernard
DCL Kean​

Swap Delph for Davies and that could well be the line up
