Match Thread Brighton & Hove Albion v Everton - Team Prediction, Waffle, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Hellerad]

We will defend well, convert a set piece and our first penalty of the decade.

2-0 Everton

 

[Jeff Jones]

I just hope Brighton weren't watching Conor Coady telling everyone before the Palace match exactly how Dyche's defensive plan has made Everton's goals against the third lowest in the league. Detailed diagrams and all!

 

[Cork Evertonian]

For some reason i've taken a serious disliking to Brighton. Plastic nothing club who add nothing to the league. I hope we smash them.

How long will it take you mate? You going on coach?

About 5 hours, we hire a 9 seater minibus from Arnold Clark, we'd normally get the train here but its knackered between London and Brighton today

Lets get right into these!

Goats 11 to start :

Pickford
Patterson - Tarks - Branners - Myko
Onana
Gana - Garner
McNeil - DCL - Harrison

DCL IS CRAP! How lucky can he be that he starts no matter what, just doing nothing on the pitch

If Myko can't play I think we should play a defensive partnership Of Tarks and Godfrey. Patterson should start RB and Branthwaite LB, he did it in the cup and he was quite good

He does a lot more than people like you realise

….bar the missed chances, I thought he played well against Palace. Indeed, it’s the best I’ve seen him for a while.

BBC team news update:
‘Andrew’ Gomes is still ruled out.

Good news that Mitoma is major doubt, has a quick turn of pace and skilful on the ball. Basically an Ashley Young yellow card waiting to happen.

He is the best we have at controlling a ball wacked up to him at pace from 40 yards and no one to flick it on to

 

[Look to the future]

If I could pick the team I’d go for:
Pickford
Patterson - Tarks - Branners - Myko
Onana - Garner
McNeil - Doucs - Harrison
DCL

Classic Martinez formation with 2 holding midfielders and 3 attacking midfielders supporting Dom.

Maybe a bit harsh on Gueye but I think as good as Gueye is at breaking up play I think Onana offers a more all round game. Also, I don’t think we should start with Onana, Garner and Gueye in the same team. It’s too negative. Dom needs more support up top.

Andrew is injured again.

I give up.

Cannot see us coming away from here with points. They seem to have reinvented themselves with really good wingers this year. Will need Seamus to have mitoma in his pocket but fear it will be the reverse. They arent that good at the back though but their keeper will have a great game I am sure! sorry I put this
down as a 3-1 defeat. I will be ecstatic if we get a point.
Pickford
Coleman - Tarkowski - Branthwaite - Mykolenko
Gana
Garner - Onana - McNeil
Doucoure
DCL

I'm quite confident we will either win, lose or draw.
