Match Thread Brighton 1-1 Everton. Sat Jan 31st. 3pm

[evertony]

Fully expecting a win in the same vein I'd fully expect a loss or draw at best at home.

Away from home there's zero onus or expectation on us to take the game to the opposition which suits Moyes and (most of) this squad perfectly. Buckle in for a hard-fought 0-1 win.

2-0 Everton, they're not up to much and they're not playing well.

 

[Mr Happy]

I live nearby these days so a defeat would be unbearable. Most of their crowd are people from London or up north who've moved down. A few thousand actual fans.

Utter tripe

Has Armstrong gone back to PNE ?

Let’s play with wing backs to give width and get Branthwaite back in the team.
Give Aznou a go.

3-4-3

Pickford

OBrien Tarks Branthwaite

Patterson Garner KDH Aznou

Dibling Barry Ndiaye

We’ve got 13 points from the last 6 away games, I’d be surprised if we moved away from the system that has worked so well in those games.

Yea posted the same team earlier in the week. Prob too attacking for DM tho.

As @hetion said you can drop Dibling (he refused to play both him and Aznou together against Leeds - too risky) and play another CM instead - give Ndiaye the #10 role behind Barry.

Quietly confident of a win here. We seem to do well there.

Quietly confident of a win here. We seem to do well there.

I think because we have had negative managers recently and with being very expansive in their set up it plays into our hands.

We just dont know what Everton will turn up each week, hopefully the Forest Villa Bournemouth one.

For me its the perfect game to put Dibling back in, he will get lots of space to exploit against these, plus less pressure on him being away from home.

 

[davids]

We've won away from home but in those wins have allowed the opposition some clear cut chances. Just hope this isn't the game that they take them.

I actually like this line up, I do have suspicion he might sneak O'Brien in at right back.

If Branthwaite isn't deemed fit enough to start, he'll definitely go for Keane with O'Brien right back

I don't agree with it, but we know how Moyes works

….Moyes says a decision will be made after today’s game.
