Match Thread Everton v Brighton - Preview, Match Report and MotM poll

[Jimmyjoe]

Need to start fast today. Cannot have the normal early January feel of ineptitude. Start fast and I think we can win this with a bit to spare. If we start slowly and they get a hold of it then we could be in for a long afternoon

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

I'm going sober for January but I've got a feeling that I will be back on the boooos later.

Same here, Jazzy!

 

[Terrarian]

Just turn up, I don't ask for much, just show some passion, then play some football. Yeah, I'm delusional aren't I.

Must win, no excuses will be accepted. Our form has been tragic the last 10 games, have to get back on track.

 

[Caolam]

If we don’t win this one today then things really will be serious. The players are well rested, we have had time to prepare, we have players back and we are at home. Even Everton couldn’t stuff this one up.

 

[Rich1878]

I think we will do these today .
3-1 to the Blues

 

[ToffeeTim]

Must not lose game

 

[N0L1M1TK]

Must not loose. Will loose.

 

[Thomasc]

Praying for a positive result, if not I feel GOT will sink to levels of bickering on a catastrophic level.

Remember when we lost 1-2 under Martinez at home to Swansea in his 3rd season? Its got the feel of one of those. Let’s hope not.

 

[Nymzee]

Expected defeat.

 

[dublinbluenose]

I think we'll actually win today. Brighton are perfect for us to play against tbh. They're not ruthless to score more than one. We've enough hopefully coming back today to field a fairly strong side.

 

[PhilM]

2-0 to Everton. UTFT!

 

[Nymzee]

 

[JLW]

No excuses today they've have a good rest and plenty of time to prepare.

This next month or so is crucial in RB tenure, buying his own players and having our important players coming back from injury gives him absolutely no excuse if results dont improve....

Heres hoping we get off the New Year with 3 points and go on a nice little run this year, by god it is overdue.

Have I got faith RB can turn this around? No, but I will be doing all I can to support the team for the good of the club...
