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

[Zatara]

Or maybe 3 centre backs, Garner and Dwight wing backs, Tim and Gana sitting, ndiaye, kdh and grealish behind Barry

Neither of those players can sit mate.

Also KDH is a CM and hes being used as a 10.

We have a left back on the bench.

If Wingbacks we could use McNeil or KDH there on the left & Garner on the right.

This is frightening by Moyes again.

Barring a shaky start, Garner was the very least of our worries the other day. Good to see Grealish and Barry in.

Even if Dibling was here and settled in, I can’t see Moyes starting with KDH alongside Gueye. Seems a bit too progressive for him. Just got to hope Tim got his nerves out of the way at Leeds and he can remember what to do with a footy today.

My thoughts exactly

The fact James Garner has to play left back is shocking but I thought he did a very good job defending in a very difficult situation and am not worried about him today

I’m more worried about us being able to push up the pitch and be dynamic on the ball - we need a lot more from our midfield

 

[Delargeinho]

Game two and we already have Alcaraz pushed to the bench and Ndiaye out of position

I believe Ndiaye has never played in his main position at all here?

 

[Number_25]

I think Tim offers more defensively than KDH, and given we're playing two players out of position at the back - it makes sense regardless of what people are saying at the moment.

 

[Zatara]

No idea how Tim kept his place. Alcaraz only one who offered anything against leeds.

Moyes seems to be doing what he can to open the owners pockets before the window shuts.

How else to explain these decisions?

 

[Number_25]

I believe Ndiaye has never played in his main position at all here?

He cuts inside from both sides. I've never seen him actually play at the 10 for more than 20 minutes in a game, he seems to drift out wide naturally - I never understood the questions.

Gotta love the Moyes doubters. There's more to a team selection than simply selecting and arranging the names in an order that looks most aesthetically pleasing.

The man gets results - irregardless of if he wins the 'GOT team-sheet selection hour' or not.

 

[Sharpattack]

Awful lineup.

 

[Frenk]

Maybe Moyes’ thinking is that he has to have somebody who is kind of exciting to come off the bench.

Literally everyone on here has stated Aznou isn't ready. McNeil, to me, is the next best choice there after Mykolenko with the added bonus that he can cross a ball.

I see him as an ideal LW. I’m sure he can be fine on the right but it’s not ideal for his skill set.

 

[TheBigIguana]

I have a feeling Moyes is going to annoy me this season

He’s already there for me!

 

[ToffeeTim]

That midfield and defence aren't good enough for this level

 

[Delargeinho]

He cuts inside from both sides. I've never seen him actually play at the 10 for more than 20 minutes in a game, he seems to drift out wide naturally - I never understood the questions.

He did his job well there no doubt, he's the closest to winger we had in the squad in the last few years. Despite before us he barely played it.

 

[Clarky cat]

Awful lineup.

Happy bank holiday weekend
