Match Thread Brighton & Hove Albion v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Toffe3m4n]

from tactical point of view
I wanna try 4-3-3 and Richy will never play as right winger again
but ok, I always listen to my assistant and all staff
so we will discuss about it again after finish full sessions today

... Ronald?

 

[Nymzee]

I would swap put kean upfront. Rich in right to replace Walcott. But silva will be having an internal battle as we speak because of his love for playing DCL up front.

Why would you do any of that?

 

[Gaffa]

Unreal to see people changing the team after the best performance of the season. Why would Walcott be dropped, why bring Kean or Delph in? Did you watch is last week, we looked like we could score every time going forward. Go attack tomorrow, don't bring in holding midfielders or negative people, go there, win and everyones in a happy place before Tuesday

Why?

 

[Pejic300]

We can be bad and Leicester still be overperformaning massively. They aren't mutually exclusive.

I'm confident that we may have turned the corner not because we won but because for the the first time in a while we created the far better chances and deserved to win as a result. That was a performance level that could lead to a string of good results which is encouraging but also is something we haven't done away from Goodison under Silva. So that's the test this week.

If that's what it takes, so be it.

 

[Blue Roo]

Brighton are a different side to last season. They are a lot more open and attacking
I think it will suit us playing




The thing is, WH are just as delusional as us. Belirve we would have beaten them with or without Sig and Schneiderlin

Cant see Brighton making the same mistake when its too easy to a play certain way against Silva and give yourself a much better chance of a point or three.

There's other ways this match will play out - either Brightom are now as delusional as WH and us (and Wayford)
- or Silva changes his tactics against sides who cant rely on technically superior match winning players.

If the latter happens and he successfully changes his tactics, you'll probably see sides like Brighton changing theirs.

Sure, we'll see. Should be an interesting match.

Brighton will out pass you and beat you.

Jealousy is a terrible emotion Brian.

Just because they stole your manager, there`s no need to be bitter.

 

[Sverre Takleifbotten]

Brighton are favorites in this match. Our away form is not good, but fortunately Brighton has not been very good at home either. This gives us hope. Both teams have underperformed according to Xg stats. When I take this into account in my little amateur analysis, Brighton gets a winning probability of 43%, while Everton gets a 36% winning chance.

Either way, Brighton is flexible. They have so far played in a 3-5-2 / 5-3-2 and 4-4-2 formation. In recent matches they have played in a 4-4-2 formation. They have a good build-up play and enjoy playing the ball along the ground. They are even more concerned with ball possession than us, and rarely resort to long balls. Dan Burn is a player we need to put pressure on Brighton's build-up play, while Pascal Gross is the creative force for Brighton. Graham Potter has made this a solid team in a short time, which also plays great football.


When it comes to Everton, Silva has no choice but to start with the same players as the previous match.

Brighton will out pass you and beat you.

You still around? Don’t cry too hard when Cardiff turn your boys over on Sunday

 

[Hickson9]

Same team. I'm optimistic for a rare away win after how we played last weekend but the realist in me says 1-1 draw.

 

[Saint Domingo]

0-0 or 1-1. Everton that.

 

[jtl60]

easiest team pick of the season

Same as last week. If Mina is injured Holgate in

 

[big nev lookalike]

Cannot understand why some are in favour of changing the team from last week,with the possible exception of Mina. It was our best performance of the season,we played some really good exciting football and we won.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

I would like to see Delph come in for Davies tbh - him and Gomes looked decent in midfield together and providing Iwobi is also in the middle it would allow us to be attacking whilst also being a bit more defensively solid especially if holgate comes into the defence.

Oh and Kean for Walcott who's a charlatan.

 

[Frang]

an away game should not be treated the same as a home game

we are not even playing the same team as last week

obv form players should stay in , but we should be flexible (like every other team are) in choosing the right personel for the right opponents

people saying 'play da same team init' don't understand how football works
