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

[Peter The Dog]

Very confident of a win. I can feel it in my water.

 

[BernieH]

Need a win today COYB!!

 

[14_dollars]

Biggest game in a long time.

We‘re desperate for something positive after a week of seemingly non-stop bad news and a win should mean we are looking up, not down.

I dread to think what will happen if Brighton win.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Reckon this will be one of those games and their have been numerous over the last few years following a humiliating defeat where you come away thinking"why didn't you play like that last week?"

 

[Nymzee]

Car is fuelled, beers are stocked, away we bloody go COYB

 

[Stephen Gibson]

One of two ways today. Either full commitment & hard press with a solid win or a complete collapse under the weight of pressure from recent events & fan reaction. I expect the first but the second way sounds more Everton.

I’m gonna go for a win today, mainly because I don’t want to imagine anything else. We can’t get any lower than last week so let’s hope we get the reaction that we all want. I think the younger players will give us that, the likes of Richarlison and Davies. I’d like to see us play a flat back four with only one of Coleman or Sidibe playing, with Bernard starting too. My midfield pairing would be Davies and Sigurdsson. And I also love to see Kean given 90 minutes. 3-1 to the Blues.

Hopefully the only way is up now. our Hell has to expired. It can’t get lower than losing to the RS kids. We could get beat 10 nill in the fa cup final to them and it wouldn’t be as low as getting pacified and dominated be their kids.

God whatever we did in a previous life we get it now. Can we climb back u now? We paid for whatever happened with interest. Europe would be a nice step towards hevan.Ta.

 

[Ring master]

Lets go and get our 3rd win in 4 and carry on the league run,and lets hope we dont Everton this stat up

Brighton have never won away against Everton in any competition, drawing two and losing five of their visits.

 

[BlueLee]

Going to be extremely toxic today aimed at any player not covering every blade of grass! Anything less than a Siggerson and Schneiderlin hattrick and a 10 home win wont be tolerated!

Yes no excuses today
100% effort
Grind out a win if necessary
Only that will do

I was just going to say that in this sense the team is on a bit of a hiding to nothing. Only got themselves to blame like.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Three nil with a goal from Richy. Seagulls will be sent packing in their boaters and stripey blazers.

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

TIme for the self-flagellation to cease. Snot these and all is right with the world.

COYB.

 

[Jeff Jones]

I get a good laugh from "Carlo needs to do XYZ to win". Carlo's left eyebrow knows more about football than any of us on here.

Yes, he probably does, but he can't get a tune out of a busted violin. We should get an Idea today of just how much improvement there is in this
team, if any.
