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

I understand why Gueye is important but does anyone else miss Garner in the single pivot? He was great there against Villa.

 

[Vaughan]

frustrating to take branthwaite out of the centre too where he can act as a playmaker for us

ffs

new stadium new owners new era

same old everton

 

[MichaelEFC96]

Branthwaite back after a long term hamstring injury you say? Let’s play him fullback so he runs up and down

Ridiculous and risky management if you ask me.

 

[DOMNOLAN]

Who had Moyes playing Branthwaite at LB?? Good prediction. Obviously not good he’s at LB, I’m just giving credit for predicting it

 

[PhilEFC]

Best young centre half in England being played out of position.

Strange decision if our other two full backs aren’t injured.

 

[Tipp blue]

I'm saying nothing.....I never predict this fixture correctly !

Predict a Brighton win then..

 

[coollino]

This is a perfect lineup to end stat nerds, we're ready

 

[Swartzy]

Pickford
Tarks Keane Branthwaite
JOB Garner
Armstrong Gana KDH
Illy
Barry

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

With those 4 CBs starting, we (Moyes) better have a decent explanation if we concede from a set piece!

 

[Daytripper]

Playing away suits this manager, it’s no surprise we look far more inept at home when the onus is on us to take the game to teams which we rarely if ever do over 90 minutes. It’s modern Everton to a tee.

No shock if we get a result today.

 

[Buckers]

Given the amount of anti-Keggers comments I am fully expecting him to score a worldy.

 

[Noble Savage]

If he's playing three on the back , that would be perfect for our Scottish Cafu. Even McNeil could of done something in the left wing back role .

I just don't see us buying anyone either . I suspect the "not enough time " excuse will be used many times . In this digital age , I can't see why these things take so long with remote offices and medical facilities.
If Myko is out for a few weeks and our back up not playing and being sent out , this is a disgraceful play by our board .

 

[NathDogg]

Moyes is just taking the piss...

Agreed.

Can’t see how that’s the best team we could start with.

 

[NorthernBlue]

Just spat out my coffee seeing that defence.

 

[ChesterBlue]

I’m genuinely fuming at what Moyes has done with that lineup. If this backfires and we get pasted he should be sacked on the spot
