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

[allen]

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

Ha, yeah. That’s absolutely fair enough. I say this as someone who won’t be there. Easy for me to say!

 

[DavidH]

The atmosphere will be a lot better than I was worried about after yesterday. Could have been toxic from the off but come on, momentum. Still a MUST win.

 

[Yarrgh]

3-0. Rondon hat-trick.

Good team Brighton so no easy task this. However confidence must be sky high and at some point we will turn the corner and bounce back. A win could see us mid table which in itself changes the players mindsets.
Another false dawn maybe but one day it'll click. We're 2 squad strikers short from a very safe and decent mid table team. Small steps?

Interesting last comment in FLs Evertontv interview after the game yesterday saying that Brighton are "a good possession and will have possession".

Hopefully that means we stick with the 5 man defence.

S'ton will be a different matter, but against Brighton we need to be well back.

Two own goals in our favour would be nice .... never seen that happen to win 2-1 - oh hang on

 

[Milk]

Guess Mac Allister will be back for them for this one

No point punting the ball up to DCL unless he has someone alongside him to pick up the knock downs. Maupay? He’d be keen to stick one to an old employer

 

[Cels]

It all depends on which Everton turns up for the game. I'm going to have faith that we will be up for this and will go at Brighton all guns blazing.

Concede first, crowd will turn, lose. Frank sacked.

Score first, we win, stay of execution for Frank. A draw and it really must be a win against Southampton or he's gone.

The FA Cup game against United can be written off and will have no bearing on Lampard's future.

Then we have two more games and a 10-day break before end of transfer window.

I think Lampard needs a minimum of 5 points from Brighton H, Southampton A, West Ham H, and even that is a terrible return against two awful sides and one mid-table one, with two home games.

If we can't capitalise on those games it will mean us needing to go away and pick up not just one unexpected win, but quite a few, which isn't happening.

Perhaps Mr Thelwell will wake up around 22. January and either help Frank or a new boss bring in a striker. But probably not.

Squeaky bum time. 1 - nil Blues move to 18 points.

 

[john jako]

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.

Think he will just swap out Patterson for Coleman in this one. Godfrey is a beast physically. He will be ready to go again.

Look were going to wack them, going to be a great night to get 2023 going

Lampard knows we have a lot of games coming thick and fast. Godfrey will possibly make the United game. ?‍

Mitoma is the danger-man for you guys to worry about, he's such an elegant little player.

Was Brilliant against us in the second half.
