Match Thread Everton 2-0 Brighton. Sun Aug 24th. 2pm

Cant be having a right footed midfielder at left back again. We basically gave up that side of the pitch to leeds. And brighton are a far smarter outfit than them. Unfair on Garner as well.
Buy a f kin left back.

And a Right back

 

[Gilbert..]

And a Right back

Both would be ideal. But Obrien is ok there. He's right footed and a defender. And pretty decent. Garner isnt even left footed or a defender. Major headache right now that left back spot.

Can we keep our unbeaten league record at BMD?

 

[Moomin]

Can we keep our unbeaten league record at BMD?

We have also never won a game at the stadium with fans watching.

Brighton favorites to win on Sunday.

 

[JohnRoss23]

They had a really disappointing draw on Saturday. Hopefully they are a bit demoralized like ourselves.

 

[ElGato]

Having an available left back, or not, will make a major difference, as it will determine whether Garner is available to play in CM.

But if Garner becomes available for CM, then one of Garner, Gueye or KDH will need to be benched unless you’re still deluded enough into thinking that KDH can operate as a 10.

So Moyes will have to choose between benching Garner or Gueye because we can’t have a guy with a double barrelled surname sitting on the bench can we.

Why would one be deluded for thinking that?

 

[Bebeto]

Can't even bear to think on what the defense will look like on Sunday...surely has to go with 3 at the back and mcneill as a left wing back...right wing back could be garner I guess even though his presence was missed in midfield against Leeds. The formation did not work at all, so if its the same personel, then the tactics have to change.

 

[Sharpattack]

Mykolenko is available I think

OK. 1-0 then

 

[Seathestars]

I'm going for a Brighton win because I'm the worst predictor in the universe, that should just about do it.

 

[maccavennie]

I dont see anything but a defeat on Sunday. Too many square pegs in round holes to be able to believe we'll put a positive performance in and get a result.

one game may be, like a spare one, but having Seamus and Paterson we need something more consistent. Even Young is missed in this moment

I’ve been practicing my best Scandi accent for Sunday…
First time going to the ground after 39 years of following my team.

Flying over for this . Lucky to get a ticket . Cannot wait. No pessism here anyway.

The stattos have us at a 30 percent chance to win this game and have brighton at a 40 percent .

They had leeds at a 45 percent chance and us at a 25 percent chance. Clearly something isnt right at the club at the moment and needs sorting. These odds tend to suggest we are worse than we were last season
