Match Thread Everton v Brighton & Hove Albion, KO 15:00 Sat 10th March

[wiggum23]

Draw. Will be a really tough game. Dreading it to be honest

 

[MrGrumpy]

We're home.

We need to win this.

Baines could be back and Funes Mori (and actual left sided CB) played in the U23’s on Monday.

I reckon it’s time to get behind the team no matter what and get three points because I’ve forgotten what that’s like.

For me;

Pickford

Baines
Funes Mori
Holgate
Coleman

Siggurdsson
Rooney
Baningame

DCL
Tosun
Walcott

Or something. 11 Everton players anyway.

In a week that Peter Reid reckons the fans need to back the side, I’d agree with him so let’s go at them.

Let’s get right behind them and win

Without doubt this will end Everton 0-1 Brighton

 

[Dharma]

Absolutely vital to win this. Our league position is at tipping point, lose and we slip into the abyss.

 

[Toffeelover]

Duffy will come up for corners and you just watch, he will nod one in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[riddick]

Don't care the set up, don't care who starts or gets subbed in, don't care the performances as long as 3 points is ours after the last whistle of the second half

 

[Abraders]

Must win

 

[Ramiro Funes Mori]

GK
RB-CB-me-LB
Some midfielders
A pair of FWs

Subs

Just cant watch DCL on the wings,i want to see Siggurdsson linking up with Baines.

..there’s real doom and gloom about the place and I have a bad feeling about this game. A perfect storm seems to be brewing with bad results and unrest. Shane Duffy and co will be on easy street at set pieces.

Duffy is unbeatable in the air but he has no pace whatsoever. Whether we have the forward to exploit that though is a different matter.

Siggurdsson needs to play Central all day as he is our best chance of finding that through ball to run onto.

On the flip side, if Funes Mori is fit then he may be the best option to counter Duffy from set pieces at our goal. I really don’t fancy Keane up against him.

Cue 1-0 win courtesy of M. Keane

Good team that, send your cv in Groucho, you the man. Need to win this but I foresee a draw at best because a traumatic end to a terrible season feels inevitable. 1-1.

If we lose does it matter anymore?

Glenn Murray to bully our defenders

..good shout, we should look at the positives and not the negatives and we can get at their back four. Fully with you regarding Sigurdsson.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Glenn Murray to bully our defenders

On that note, while Williams was deservedly dismissed on Saturday, our defenders need to be more skilled in the dark arts to stop journeymen grocks getting anything out of us.

At least be mindful of the referees view when throwing the elbow lads.

Lamb and home win. COYB
