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

[Nymzee]

Least we know the kids were only used out of sheer desperation vs Chelsea.

 

[ForeverEverton]

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

EXACTLY this, why ALLOW your midfield to be outnumbered ON PURPOSE in every game, it is negligent....

I guess we are conceding possession to Brighton today then F`IN BRIGHTON.... FFS

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

He was awful against Palace, he's ok to come on off the subs bench late in a game aka Arsenal game.

Plus Brightons strength is midfield .....

 

[RomanReigns]

Either Kenny or coleman are playing right wing

Godfrey is still at left back imo

 

[MACCA75]

5 at the back at home to Brighton - Activate full Newcastle mode.

Benitez’s negative mentality drives me insane.

Play gomes instead of Kenny/Coleman - have three in midfield and at least pose some threat.

I thought Iwobi would’ve been away with Nigeria?

Ffs this season just keeps getting worse.

Maybe so but it's better than playing 2 rbs come on man?

 

[MACCA75]

If Kenny is left back with Digne on the bench then that is just pure trolling.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Going to be interesting.

Will take 45 mins for the players to figure out what they are doing.
0-2 down at half time spurs a heroic 2nd half consolation goal.
1-2.

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

Because they want reason moan

He’s not

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

It is a tactical masterplan. Godfrey on the left is going to point and usher all play to our right where we will have two right backs waiting for the unsuspecting fools. They won't know what has hit them!

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

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
