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

Unequivocally false.

Then you'll just have to agree to disagree. I'm a Keano fan

 

[brittcop1]

He wasn't though, people on here were just as angry at him for doing that as they are Moyes

Please dont mention Moyes and Ancelotti in the same sentence again....one is a worldclass manager who has won everything everywhere...the other has blue eyes.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Just collecting receipts for later.

 

[Blue Smoke]

Myko Injured i guess? Does this also mean Harrison is more likely to stay?

 

[DanB90]

How can that team selection be 4-4-1-1?

Flat back 4
Flat midfield 4
Barry up top
Ndiaye behind.

 

[davids]

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.

Don't worry with that midfield set up he won't get out of our half.

 

[JLW]

4 huge CBs watch concede from a corner, probably little Mitoma with a towering header

 

[Ivo]

I can’t see us scoring - that might be the most negative lineup I’ve seen us field

I can remember in Moyes's first spell here he once started with 6 defenders and 4 midfielders, think it was against West ham. Hibbert was CB and scored an o.g.

 

[JLW]

Flat back 4
Flat midfield 4
Barry up top
Ndiaye behind.

So Branthwaite LB?

In defence of moyes, assuming myko and aznou are out of the squad as they are unfit the only decision to be made is whether Patterson plays, personally I wouldn't play him either but also don't want O'brien show horned into back 4 which is why I think we've gone with the only option available that is back 3

 

[Librarian]

How can that team selection be 4-4-1-1?

If they line up that way

 

[vini]

Although surprised at the lineup I still think we will nick this, but it massively highlights where our shortcomings are. Diabolical to still have problems fielding even half decent full backs.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

That is a shocking XI
Feel sorry for Patto, Aznou, Rohl, even Charly. We have 3 FB's available even if Myko is a late no-show.
Both Patto and Garner have had more games at LB this season than Branthwaite. If Brighton had a forward line like Forest or WHam then maybe but Brighton rely on fast wingers and powerful ACM. Does Moyes even think about how the opposition play or his he just interested in games for his mates.

 

[DanB90]

So Branthwaite LB?

I’d guess so.

But nobody truly knows.

Not with Peak Michael Keane as one of them

I think you’ll find he was along with Holgate and Godfrey.
