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

I dont think u can put keane in there. He is another spineless player.

Until we can bring in a CM & CB we need a defensive minded player in the middle which only leaves Holgate until Gbamin is back fit.

I just dont want to see any of those "3" I mentioned in the side - think they are bad eggs and do more harm than good.

Think folk are in for a shock when Siggy and Schneids start on Saturday.

Won't happen,it would be akin to putting them in the stocks.

Delph included? Totally agree with the other 2. I still have to make my mind up re glass man.

I think Ancelotti will keep Delph around the side but personally think he's going to do more harm than good to team morale when he's shouting at Holgate and calling teammates ****

 

[RomanReigns]

Why can’t the players hold the ball and string more than 3-4 passes

Who is to blame for that?

These are professional players

 

[GwladysBlue]

I’d like to see something like:

Pickford
Coleman Holgate Mina Baines
Davies
Richarlison Gordon Bernard
DCL Kean

Not ideal by any means but I just can’t have any of: Sigurdsson, Schneiderlin, Delph, Walcott or Keane anywhere near this team.

 

[blue to the bone]

I think anyone expecting widespread and radical changes are not been realistic.
Sunday was horrific. But prior to the city game we got 11 points from 15.
If we leave out all these players we dont field. Sigurdsson and schneiderlin will be left out . After that changes will be minimal. Attitude needs to change. But prior to the derby it was ok. We cannot compete against then mentally which is sad .

This is a bad matchup for us. Brighton know how to pass the ball and that'll make it tough in midfield. Trossard is a threat and our RBs are weak defensively. Playing Coleman to handle that threat will take out one of the few creative outlets we have. It's a tough one for Carlo.

Sign of the state we are in when Brighton at home is considered a tough one.

It really is. Any team that aims to keep the ball is going to give us trouble in the middle right now.

 

[street end]

I’d go for

Stek
Coleman Holgate Mina Baines

Richi Davies. Bernard
Gordon
DCL Kean

 

[ah11984]

Pickford(only cos we don't have a competent keeper at the club).

Sidibe
Holgate
Mina
Baines

Walcott
Delph
Davies
Bernard

DCL
Richarlison


Almost made me angry having to select some of those in my XI. God our squad is pathetic.

 

[CairnsToffee]

I’d go for

Stek
Coleman Holgate Mina Baines

Richi Davies. Bernard
Gordon
DCL Kean

Hasn’t Carlo stated that Gordon isn’t ready

it will beDavies andDelph in the middle, Walcott on the right and Richarlison up front with Dom

He might have changed his mind after watching Sunday’s performance

True but Mina dosent deserve to be an automatic start

 

[witchdoc187]

Wonder if he'll send the same players out and say go on then prove them wrong. It's not like we've got many options anyway.
