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

We’ll see a reaction today after the Leeds performance.

Depends on the team for me. Fascinated to see the line up. If forced to play Garner at left back again we're in trouble.

Absolutely buzzing for this. In The Railway for breakfast and up to the ground for 12.00, can't wait.

Can't see who else plays there

3 at the back with mcneil as a wingback dropping in when we dont have the ball? Its not ideal but leeds was so so bad. Garner just played to stop daniel james. Zero link up attacking play down that side.
I know its Arsenal but they put a more realistic stance on leeds yesterday.
We more or less just gave that game up as a write off to nick a steady point. Taking out one side of the pitch unbalanced us so much.

I think we'll see a much improved performance today. Still don't see where goals come from. I think he plays the same team with Grealish starting. Gonna be tough

Garner needs to be on the right looking after Mitoma

 

[Moomin]

3 nil to Brighton.

 

[Nymzee]

It’s only because of the injuries and expected weird lineup I’m not confident. I don’t fear Brighton normally - think they’re just media darlings.

Hoping being at home will be nothing like the approach to leeds away.

MOTM for me against Leeds. It was like watching a load of ducklings. Need to get the ball forward quickly to the big man so he can turn and run. No good hoofing it as he couldn't trap a bag of cement

Motm in the sense that hes not a left back and instinctively wanted to go onto his right foot everytime he got a pass.
Id put him as motm simply because he was dumped on and got on with it. A very Everton style motm.
