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

[Marcus Kendall]

Can't listen to it anymore

Absolutely. I remember back in the day it was a radio show for the match going fan to talk about the game they've just seen and their general opinion of how the club and season was shaping up. Now its just a scab 6 show for fans to brag about how much better they are than another scab 6 club. And the hilarity when they say to the listeners call in if you've been to a game today whatever the division your club plays in and the first 10 calls are all scab 6 club fans moaning or boasting about something. Then you'll get the lower league club fan phone in and gets cut off after a minute or so as the presenters have no clue about the club in question

Excited to see Grealish start

 

[GoldenToffee]

Absolutely disgrace that we've entered the first two games of the season with zero available full backs. I'd hazard a good guess that no other club in Premier League history has done that before.

Cant be having Garner on the left again. Its not his fault but it unbalanced the side so much. Given the club has no left back to select we've at least got to play a left footer there in Mcneil. And go 3 at the back.
Its still a nightmare that leeds performance and lots of it stemmed from not having any outlet at all down the left.

….he’d have been the subject of a great bit of trivia; played against Everton in the last league game at Goodison, played for Everton in the first league game at BMD.

Never mind, his transfer will hopefully give everybody a lift for the Brighton game.

….can’t play McNeil at LB, he’s an absolute liability there if last season is anything to go by. Weird how critical a lot of posters are about Garner in midfield, yet now he’s seen as vital. Maybe Aznou will be fit.

Didnt say left back.
3 at the back.
Mcneil on the left. Garner on the right. More wingbacks
We gave up the whole left side of the pitch against leeds.

Can we finally win a match in August Our last win in august (2021) came v Brighton. Lets hope so

Great stuff

Wonder if Barry will get a start after ping-pong shins’ performance on Monday.

Definition of madness: playing Garner at LB again after last week

 

[Encoder]

I sincerely hope that there is more of a plan in place than last weeks "pass between the centre backs -> panic when someone comes in 10 yards -> give it to Pickford -> Launch to Beto in the vain hope it sticks"

 

[bag a yoko]

It's going to be a strange new relationship but win or lose I hope everyone going today has a fantastic time.
