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

[ToffeeTim]

I'd probably go 1 change. Be tempted to rest Siguurdson for Richarlison.

 

[messymascot]

I would rotate for this one and revert back to a back 4.

Pickford
Kenny Zouma Mina Digne
Gueye Davies
Walcott Bernard Richarlison
Calvert-Lewin

Stekelenburg, Baines, Keane, Coleman, Gomes, Sigurdsson, Niasse

If Lookman and Tosun available they would be on the bench for Coleman and Niasse. I wanted to rest Digne but I think we need at least one regular full back in the team. He can rest against Leicester. Win this game and we are definitely contemplating top 6 although we need United to lose their new manager surge!

If like Tosun to start, purely to see if he and Glen Murray can exist in the same space and without exploding.

100% they are twins separated at birth

No changes, 1-4 win for Everton

Who the shabite is Bambi?

I'm a bit more confident going into this after Burnley. Still not to be underestimated though. They did just hold Arsenal off.

Where is the best place for a drink before the game?

 

[vagant59]

Usually I agree with the 'don't change a winning side' idea but we play these on Saturday, then 12:30 on Tuesday (home, Leicester), then Saturday again in the League Cup (home, Lincoln). I'd rather we didn't break our good players so an amount of squad rotation should be expected.

Are we still in the league cup?

Where is the best place for a drink before the game?

I went to the Lansdown Arms in Lewes last season. It was a nice little pub, no bother.

It's next to the station which is only about a 10 minutes train ride from the stadium.

Tricky one. I’d like to see Gana and Richarlison back in the side but I think - after the back 3 easing my doubts yesterday - we should stick with that formation (they’ll be trying to hit Murray up top so I’d like the security of the Three Towers at the back).

In order to achieve both, I think we’d have to push Siggy up into a narrow front 3 with Bernie and Richie or give him a rest and bring Gana in at his expense. I’d be ok with either, but with all that said I’m sure we’ll probably just move to a back four again and bring Gana in for a CB.

Continue to not keep losing and we are in with a chance,of continuing to not lose. Let's score more than them so we can win. COYB.

The pub mate

 

[EverBlue92]

We could do with resting Gomes amd Siggurdsson really.

For Brighton: 4-2-3-1

Pickford

Coleman Keane Mina Digne

Gana Davies

Walcott Bernard Richarlison

Calvert Lewin

Then for Leicester:

3-5-2


Pickford

Keane Mina Zouma

Coleman Siggurdsson Gomes Digne

Walcott Bernard

Richarlison

Hopefully a clean sheet

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Brighton's 2nd choice keeper will be playing as Matthew Ryan is off to the Asian Games. We really should be testing whoever that is with more shots from range ala Digne's 2nd.
