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

[lieneverton]

like leeds on Monday, these have started on the front foot and no mistake. We're chasing shadows. It's 5 minutes in.

Like about 80% of our games the opposition starts brighter, almost like its a glaring, recurring theme.

 

[Toffeepot]

4 CBs

 

[PeregrineT]

Why are there only 2 refs in the PL?

Meanwhile, I see we have decided to play 4 CBs(with our 2 best not at CB), and 4 midfielders...

 

[Bedfordblue]

Hope someone burys that blond Van Hecker who clattered Pickford when we get a corner

 

[Taifi gorm]

Teams should be afraid to try and do Pickford like they did there. We're so passively soft.

 

[Rita_Poon]

ndiaye can't believe baleba kicked the ball out for a corner, GK given.

 

[JohnRoss23]

No corner? wtf lol

 

[carolinablue232]

It’s not the dog in the fight, but the fight in the dog.

Until a terrier meets a Rottweiler

 

[Toffeelover]

Shape and system is all wrong.

Thats Moyes for you

 

[TheBigIguana]

This lineup and we are still asking Ndiaye to drop all the way back to cover the right back. How are we going to get out like that?

 

[TheBigIguana]

It’s not the dog in the fight, but the fight in the dog.

Appropriate analogy because we are absolute dog poo

 

[sexualchocolate]

Can't believe we are playing a flat back 4, I really can't

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Some disjointed play here, but one benefit apparent already - when the ball goes out wide left, it's Branthwaite on the front foot and looking alert, and Ndiyae in front of him looking to cause trouble as he should, and not the black hole and death of initiative that is the Myko Experience

 

[the golden visionary]

Just need Heitinga on for a striker and we’re sorted.

Are bewitched top of the charts??

 

[Miked1e]

Hope someone goes right through that van heck
