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

[Zatara]

Alcaraz hasn't proven anything yet, and KDH has only played a couple of games and when we get Dibling in I'm sure things will balance out much better and he will go back next to Gana or Garner

Alcaraz did well end of last season and should be the 10 if Grealish isnt.

I cant for the life of me see KDH as a 10.

We need to con Dibling into signing before that miss fit of a squad kicks off !!

 

[blueboy72]

Maybe beto is leaving.

Minteh on their right wing.

This could be frightening.

We do seem to get results when the line ups are utterly bewildering.

But...this is a massive stretch

Moyes is weakening 2 positions just to get experience in the team. No left back apart from a 19yr old I will play a midfielder there
Space in midfield,
Between a 21yr old or 18yr old, I will pick the one with a bit more experience
He’s just said he didn’t want to throw Barry in this early

 

[JohnRoss23]

Just don’t lose, Everton.

 

[Only-Blue-toffees]

Moyes said We've not scored many goals in pre-season. I wanted to give Barry a little longer to settle in but we need to score. Bit harsh on Beto he had zero service against Leeds. But happy for Barry I hope he has a great game. Stadium looks fantastic I hope the fans make this place so loud and intimidating I want to hear how the sound is too

 

[jazzy]

Just that he’s put Barry in a bit sooner than he’d liked, but we haven’t looked like scoring goals, so needed to make a change.

Very damning on Beto without even mentioning his name

 

[Simon Buttle]

That’s what’s really fun is Alcaraz hasn’t done all that much and as an attacker in the PL it’s still more than KDH!

Yet who has the trophy cabinet with medals in it?

I like Beto, but he didn’t help his case at all on Monday.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Well that’s a shame because as an attacking influence he’s proven to be more of a factor than KDH to date and that’s kinda the main job of a #10.

KDH has played 2 games. MOM in the first one and every player was gash in the second, with Charly giving the ball away (again) resulting in the pen.

The awful squad has resulted in an awful lineup, square pegs everywhere, but we can’t keep saying Moyes is mad to do this that or the other when really the other options aren’t available. Being honest, might be a grind today when they have the ball. KDH does make more sense for me, will win more balls and give away less.

Come on, yes Beto didn’t get a lot of service in terms of chances, but he couldn’t hold the ball. It constantly came back and some were easy passes to control, Beto won’t be here long

 

[NortheastBlue68]

Need help watching

*drink.

 

[Ufotone]

Massive game for Barry, good luck lad

 

[bluestevon]

Wont lie, prefer to hd e seen Armstrong in there ahead of Tim.

I'm not saying he shouldn't but I don't think he does enough for Sgt Major Moyes during a game that's all. Zat, young lads like him don't end up back scraping about in the South American leagues if they are any good mate.

Should’ve just brought Ross back (seriously)
