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

[Only-Blue-toffees]

Kick off in 30 mins and stadium isn’t filling up quite yet I hope entering the stadium isn’t a fail for the fans taking ages to get in. I’m sure this will take time to get better new stadium and all that just want everyone to have an amazing time and a good display giving their all on the pitch and a good win for us. COYB’s!

KDH has played 2 games. MOM in the first on 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.

Oh good so he’s Tom Cleverley

Once in a lifetime game this, need to start off life at HD with a positive performance and result.

Good luck.

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

Got his experience magnet on.

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

The guy should be looking at his long ball tactics to a CF whose game isnt holding a ball up.

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.

He has been good though?

Southampton fans rated him veru highly and wanted the play to be more direct to suit him.

Moyes should be using players in their positions.

Its a statement hes making here i reckon.

 

[Saaby]

He’s been injured.

For one game and he’s on the bench today

 

[Zatara]

We need to win this game somehow.

1st game in the new stadium and 2nd loss of the season wont go down well at all if this is the same as Leeds.

 

[DanB90]

For one game and he’s on the bench today

So clearly not fit enough to start.

 

[Ikatron51]

Is anyone actually confident for a result today because I think we have a chance.

 

[longers]

Is the game not even on SKY ? why are they showing pre match build up to the Palace match ?

Is the game not even on SKY ? why are they showing pre match build up to the Palace match ?

It is on SKY Sports main event. They’re showing both so doing some sort of mixed build up.

 

[beachy]

Don't like breaking up gana garner midfield tbh

 

[_jamlev]

First Premier League game at the brand new stadium of a founding club who are one of the most successful in English history and Sky Sports are at Craven Cottage for the United game.

 

[bluestevon]

Even Moyes comments on Barry are annoying, could have easily said he'd been looking great in training and can't hold him back, big the lads confidence up.

Davey - nah, I'll say he's not ready but the other lads worse
