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

Oh my god Graham Potter has grown a beard. Please smash these.

Now he looks like a homeless slut!

Be interesting to see how many of our fans get turned away if they're doing ID checks.

 

[Sassy Colombian]

So it's 'i'll cheer when we are doing well' scenario. Not what you can do for Big Balls and his Everton but what they can do for you? I get it.

Let yer Trotskies, yer Che Guevaras yer Chavez'... yer Petros! do the hard work before coming out with your workers of the world flag in agreement. (After casting doubt)

Revolutions are made by the people. From the start. Don't let it pass you by.

Be on the right side of history.

I'm giving you a chance.

I cheer our Blues not matter what. However Benitez hasn’t earned that from me quite yet. I support the team and hope he does well for the good of Everton but he still hasn’t convinced me as a person, as a manager, and even less as revolutionary so don’t get Che involved in this. Like you say revolutions are won by people.

And btw let’s hope you are on the right side of history about this one.

There's every chance that we will get exposed defensively this game even more so than Leeds. If we can weather the possession storm and pass precisely on the break we could score a few.

 

[Alan Whittle]

You know what to do. Failure is not an option.

 

[Davideeyore]

I'll say the same I did for the Leeds game. Sort our DEFENCE out, and we'll win this.

Have we lost yet??

Well point taken. Its your opinion. But it's been a good start. Get a result against Brighton. That will be 3 away games out of his first 4 games all unbeaten in this climate where most teams are winning at home would have to be considered a good start.

Now if he can turf this pre Madonna in James out. With his 200k wages, his plane out of Liverpool thumbs up as his team have the opportunity to finish Europe. His 'who are we playing on the weekend?' While he plays call of duty (ironic when he private jets away from duty).... if Big Balls can deal with this and overthrow this capitalism-esque terany.

Well the revolution has its grass roots well in place. Points gained as a person. And an Everutionary.

 

[The Hibbert Agenda]

Lots of rumours linking Yves Saint Bissouma to other clubs. Hopefully he won't be in any right mental state to play tomorrow.

 

[bag a yoko]

With Maupay and Welbeck unlikely to start I wonder who will start up front. Connolly is pretty awful.

Some of the Benitez Press Conference for Brighton​

Benitez on Ronaldo
When you were saying about the transfer window, I thought you'd talk about our transfer window! We have until 31st August and plenty of time to do something. Of course Cristiano is a great player but I won't talk too much about him

Benitez on Richarlison/Kean
Obviously we have some players that people know are good players. This speculation is something you have to do, but for us coaches we have to concentrate on what we have.

Benitez On Richarlison
We are not considering selling him, he is our player

Benitez On Brighton
I think they are doing well. They know each other really well, they are dangerous at set pieces - it's a good team.
They play with a lot of confidence and hopefully we can be strong together, challenge and get a result.

Benitez On James Rodriguez
To be fair it's what I said before. Sorry about that but I can't give you too many answers to that question
If you ask me the question maybe in three days, you might have the solution

Benitez On selection decisions
I'm happy with that, you have players to compete for the positions. If you have a competitive team, you have to make decisions.
It's a long season anyway, so everyone will have his opportunity.

Benitez On injury news
We have some players coming back. Delph, for example, has a problem with his shoulder. Still we have a training session,
so we'll train later on and have more information.

Benitez On Branthwaite/Kenny
I think it's good for them to play a competitive game. We know what they did well, they know what they did and didn't do so well. It was not an easy game.


Benitez On Kean red card
During the game it was difficult because I couldn't see the incident. He's a young player, he's suspended now and that's what we have.
He needs to learn for the future.


Benitez On Brighton
They are doing well. Obviously I could follow last season and they finished well. I think it's important to have a balance with what you want to do and what you can do. You have to praise them because they are doing well.

Benitez On Kean
The reality is he is our player, we have to deal with the transfer window. We have to wait a few days and see where we are, and maybe after the next press conference it will be easier.

 

[Bristol Blue]

Christ, that nobhead from sky sports really gets on my nerves. Take part in an Everton press conference and all he wants to talk about is Ronaldo…tit!

 

[Jeff Jones]

I think Rich is more effective central.

So is Iwobi.

 

[Terrarian]

Delph injured that is hilarious, sore shoulder this time, he'll be back for villa or city, when he can get applauded by their fans. What a waste of space.
