Match Thread Everton v Brighton - Preview, Match Report and MotM poll

Talksport sayijg Coleman left back? / left wing back? Funny that if it happens.

Surely Coleman being tried at CB in a three makes more sense? He can cover the space Kenny will likely leave open when getting forward?

Please do not temp fate.....

I'm not . Wasn't it the same for Palace a few games back ? I still think we will win today ! COYB

Actually, the manager is a great thinker so may have looked at the old 'Christmas tree' formation and adapted it to another festive staple and gone with a 'Christmas pudding' formation. His thinking is another level to most so it will be lost on many but it is a tactical masterstroke!

 

[BigBlueConk]

Disagree with this, Digne for JJK and Gomes for Holgate, shape back to a 4-3-3....

Fair point, but choosing between Holgate and Gomes for a starting point is a sad reflection on our squad! I reckon he is going 3-4-3 though, hence the choice he made.

Ukuuyjjyjyy

Totally agree. Post more fella.

Some wanted us to "tighten up" at the back "grind out 1-0 results like Carlo did playing 10 behind the ball"

You cant moan when he goes defensive and tries to do just that.

Oh yes they can. You'd almost think they want the other team to win.

Even moaning about possession before kickoff is a new low for me.

 

[Joey66]

Would it have been any different under King Carlo playing for a 1-0 result?

Some fans have very short memories.

Tippy Tappy then back to the keeper .....

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Not really, it's because we are lining up too defensive, at home to Brighton ffs.

Sack this fat meff now, sick of his negative tactics and the benitez lover boys giving him praise for it.

Absolute BS.

It’s 4-4-2 it looks like

Lamptey not starting is a big plus for us.Great to see Dom back,hope Gray can provide the ammo for him.Confident of a win!COYBB.

Last time I remotely suggested anything like that I was run out of town by the hostile locals.

 

[billyblue80]

Weird line up, five at the back at home. Benny you weirdo. Unless Holgate is in midfield but he is crap in there

 

[DL100]

They have a better manager is the point.. We have at least 8 players that would get in their team.

They have a better manager based on what?

Look I`m gonna say it, the two managers who weren`t afraid to have a go was Martinez and Silva. Obv it didn`t work out for them and even Moyes style looks more attacking, look how many they score! Since Silva we have 3 of the most defensive managers on the planet!!!

Is this part of your CV Joey for when the job comes round again?!

Looks more like 5-4-1!
