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

[blue to the bone]

We go again . The week of an Evertonian can be summed up in the last 7 days. Beaten at home by bottom club Wolves and the world is ending. Draw away to Man City and it's looking rosy again. No middle ground.

Next up is a good Brighton side at Goodison under the lights . Will we stick with the 5 at the back and be dogmatic or go back to a back 4 and be much more open . Onana is out for this one but Dcl will be a little sharper and give us a better outlet. But we will need to create more and not depend on wonder goals .
Life returns to normality this week after the festive break but the life of a Toffee is never normal.
So into these southern softies beauts blues and get us 3 valuable points.
UTFT.

I don’t know how many will agree, but this feels like a greet the bus and fire the crowd up kind of game to me.

[Runub]

I don’t care how they do it just win the game

 

[davek]

They're beatable.

I think they're flakey under this new manager.

If the GP crowd doesn't howl its derision at playing 5 at the back - because they think this lot should be playing silky football - then we can get something. If they dont and they become Brighton's 12th man we'll be well beaten.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Sensing the crowd will be very much up for this one.

 

[Amokachi1995]

Same side with Davies in for Onana as long as dom is fit. Ultimately we'll need more attacking from the wingbacks.

Pickford

Patterson Godfrey Coady Tarkowski Mykolenko

Gordon Gana Iwobi Gray

Calvert-Lewin

I think he'll play Coleman in a three-man CD unit.

Godfrey is getting back after injury so two games in such a short period is too much.

 

[davek]

Same side with Davies in for Onana as long as dom is fit. Ultimately we'll need more attacking from the wingbacks.

That's not happening. They're not capable of it in any case.

We need them back and remaining compact against a very dangerous team.

Yeah, that's probably fine for Tuesday, longer term I think we need more though.

Those nights are for early summer not stark cold nights in winter when your plxxms are freezing over.

Everton will fall to defeat and you’ll all return to melting down over them like entitled pissbabies.
