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

[AndyKing58]

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

Of course he did. Totally forgot. Thanks Joey.

 

[Lob]

Kin el. I know we have been on a bad run and need to be cautious but there is absolutely no ambition whatsoever in a line up like that at home. Game plan is basically just throw as many defenders on the pitch as possible and hope for the best.

Jesus wept.

 

[Nymzee]

Have we gone with a back 5 because of that very fortunate draw vs Chelsea?

It was not a blueprint for success.

 

[Joey66]

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

TBH he is not match fit - they have two bruisers at the back too.....

 

[witchdoc187]

Coleman on the bench last game mate

I'm renowned for my good memory

 

[maccavennie]

So who do we have out currently then?

Mina
Branthwaite
Davies
Delph - not on bench so assume he's injured again
Townsend
Tosun - not on bench so assume he's leaving
Richarlison

So basically missing 3 who have started in the main in Mina, Townsend and Richarlison.

I would rather have gone with Dobbin up top with DCL, just to half the workload with it being his first game back.

Hoping for a matchwinning performance from Gordon, i was massively encouraged by his 2nd half performance against Chelsea.

 

[ChesterBlue]

Well, at least when we inevitably play hoofball DCL is better than Rondon in every conceivable way

 

[Blueclouds]

The right side is championship level at best. Disgusting

 

[little elfin]

When people say Kenny and Holgate don't have a future at this football club...
Surely Coleman will play right midfield
And two central midfield will be outplayed again lol

and Mykolenko technically

scary that this team is so bad with a reducing amount of absentees!

 

[DuncanDisorderly88]

Should've been 4-3-3 with Gomes in midfield

 

[4737carlin]

A

Pickford
Kenny Holgate Keane Godfrey
Coleman Doucoure Allan Gordon
Gray
DCL​

Spot on, dunno why ppl cant work this out, so many ppl questioning the line up, its bizarre they cant see

 

[ForeverEverton]

WT actual F is that?

Beat Arsenal with high intensity playing a 4-2-3-1/4-3-3, all our best performances this season has been with that YET we play Brighton who plays 3-5-2/3-4-3 every week for seasons on end and we go to a 5-4-1 and NOT TO LOSE...

Lets see how the game goes but that looks really really negative

No doubt it will be...

Pickford

Coleman Keane Holgate

Kenny.............................................Godfrey

Doucoure Allan

Gray.................................................Gordon

Calver-Lewin​

 

[Kev The Rat]

What is that ?

I don’t think even Benitez knows

 

[maccavennie]

Gomes should be nowhere near starting in any Everton 11. The fella is a massive liability.
