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

That XI is a new low, and there's very little reason for it to be as horrible as it looks.

No full backs and one wide player - it's the least attacking team of this Moyes era

 

[coollino]

We're so back

 

[Swartzy]

Aznou not even made the bench. If I was Patterson, I’d be demanding a move at this point. 3 games with 2 wins and a draw and 2 clean sheets and he gets bombed out to force Keane back in

It's shocking mate, getting so fed up with these chop and change

I posted that before I even saw a lineup, just praying the Garner part was wrong..

My god that is a poor choice.
Moyes has to take the full blame if we lose this

 

[TheBigMan]

If we get done on a corner today it will be a joke

 

[scratchnsurf]

Interviewer: David, you've started with 4 Centre Backs on the pitch today. What was the thinking there?

DM: I only had 4 available.

My god that is a poor choice.

Doesn’t he always?

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Garner and KDH will have plenty to aim their set pieces at today.

 

[Benicetoourboys]

Frustrating!!!!

 

[Mozza1987]

4 cbs across the back is ridiculous

 

[Tony’s Carp]

In fairness we are up against the combined might of both Brighton AND Hove so it makes sense to be a trifle cautious.

 

[DanB90]

So we smash Leeds all over the park in a 3-4-2-1 second half last game, and instead of maybe giving it another go today we do the complete opposite.

1-2-4-3?

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

Gutted for Patto. Literally out here proving himself and giving it his all. Where's the reward?

 

[Everton_Gary]

Looks like Moyes has gone for a positive attacking lineup today….lets go! (Sarcasm)

 

[MichaelEFC96]

This is why it's pointless buying promising full backs....

Starting to think any promising player will think twice about coming here given the situations of Dibling and Aznou

Moyes is thinking short term
