Match Thread Everton v Brighton. Match Preview, Report and MotM Poll

That line-up can't break down a deep Brighton.

Disagree. Intricate flicks from the front four with gomez backing up and spreading the play. We can do these.

 

[Azza]

So happy it's the same lineup.

Consistency is key.

 

[blue to the bone]

Really surprised at Silva here. Mina HAS to play next week but he ALSO has to get some minutes in before that. I don't get why he wouldn't introduce him here. And I am a BIG Zouma fan.

Plays in the friendly Tuesday. He said so in the press conference

 

[Mozza1987]

Really don't get that team at all. Mina should start since Zouma can't play next week. He needs game time. Walcott has been awful yet still starts and Richarlison up front is not working at all but he stays there. Daft by Silva.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Might do Walcott first scorer with all the negativity about him in here.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Devastated if we can't bum these all over the place with that xi today.

 

[jackyboy]

Come on blues.

 

[toffee-L]

Surprised tbh, thought Tosun was a dead cert to start. I thought Mina would start as well.

Think Bernard and Walcott need to put in big performers today to repay Silva's faith in them.

I mean he ain't going to get much from that friendly is he? Needed to play today and get with the pace of the Prem before a very tough game against an inform Chelsea.

Yes. Let's keep a team that lost

 

[TheBigIguana]

Would've liked to see Mina. I don't agree that he will just be ready to go next week. That said we have more than enough to beat these if we play with good intensity from the start and take our chances.

So happy it's the same lineup.

Consistency is key.

Personally think we maybe needed a few tweaks, but there's definitely something to be said for a bit of consistency.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a deep Brighton.

 

[RomanReigns]

Boooooooo urns

The manager knows more than us if he's ready or not, ffs
