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

[Chegsy]

Cannot wait till we can actually be blessed with our first choice 11. Just one match this season is all I ask.

5 at the back against Brighton at home and our striker who hasn’t played for 3 months up top on his own?????

Don’t worry Rondon on at half time to save the day.

Yay, match day is finally here. Looking forward to watching our Blues after so long and it is very exciting to see DCL starting too. Today at Goodison there is a going to be special remembrance for our friend @messymascot who we lost to a cancer battle a few week ago, so this is a very special game for me for this reason. Make us proud, Blues!

You wha????

 

[mightymoyes]

Coleman right wing?!

 

[AndyKing58]

Sanchez is actually a very decent keeper as well tbf!

Yeah he is

 

[Eggs]

….Brighton very impressive at Chelsea and they have a very good away record. I imagine it’s a selection based on stopping them rather than us taking the game to them.

Points are more important than performance so as always let’s see how this works out. My fear is that we will concede first again and it’s only when we chase the game that we look dangerous.

 

[Joey66]

Richarlison suspended?

Came off with a bad calf injury last game, ages ago, though ?

The hope we lose crowd moaning about the defense rather then DCL being back

 

[TrixyStevens]

They have players that will get around the back four. It’s a pretty unbalanced first 11 all around.

 

[AndyKing58]

Coleman right wing?!

Might actually work

 

[thebluebullet]

One thing is for sure Brighton will boss possession given that most of our line can't use the ball or retain it for long.

 

[4737carlin]

I presume Branthwaite must be injured?

Off with covid

 

[marnie]

By the time you’ve drank it you will come on here suggesting playing a left back.. at left back !

Crazy talk.

Supposed to be going dry this month. Then I saw that team.
