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

[BigBlueConk]

Brighton are a very good technical side with high energy levels.
They might get beat, but they seldom get thrashed.
They lack a top quality goal scorer.
They create a lot of chances and sometimes Maupay puts them away.

I notice Fraser has been throwing himself to the floor a lot and not getting a penalty.
Odds then on Brighton getting a penalty today...

Extremes. Match fit versus a good rest. Tough game today.

Looking forward to seeing the line up.

Up the toffees

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...

Very well said sir!

Up the toffees! 3-0 with goals from the Walrus, Voldermort and makeshift sweeper Bergovic firing us up the league to within reaching distance of midtable.

A rousing start to 2022.

Why are people saying Richarlison won't play? What's wrong with him?

Calf injury i believe. I think he was due to be out around a month so maybe another fortnight out.

I must be mixing up my matches because I remember him coming off with the hump in a match and not looking injured.

Something about his calf from memory but he wasn't limping, and anyway, that was weeks ago.

He’s ‘injured’

Are we expecting Digne to play today?

Yeah and then it came out that he had a calf problem asa result and was expecetd to be out for 3-4 weeks.

Dont get me wrong be buzzing if he starts today but cant see it.

Would love to see a front three of Gray/Richy/Dom. With Gray/Richy rotating from side to side.

I therefore welcome todays line up of Davies - Dom - Iwobi.

I wouldn't expect himt o play any day for us now mate. Thierry Small has a bigger chance of rejoining and playing i think.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Are we expecting Digne to play today?

I would be extremely surprised

Bench maybe
