Match Thread Everton 2-0 Brighton. Sun Aug 24th. 2pm

[Thomasc]

0-2

A well run club away to an absolute shambles of a football club.

If Everton were a diog the kindest thing would be to have them put own.

Injuries updates and any new signings but Moyes has to ring the changes.

We need to find a more natural balance so I would move Garner to right wingback and use McNeil who is left footed and he will act as a overlap to allow space for Grealish.

I wasn't happy with Beto at all and he hasn't done much all summer so with a new stadium and fresh start, I'd start Barry to give us a boost.

I don't know what you've used to generate the image, but Barry looks awfully isolated up top! (just like in real life, no doubt)

So one potential fullback. Yay.

They don’t press like Leeds but they can play football a lot better.

I see a loss.

 

[Librarian]

I would play Aznou and give him license
Move to a back three when we have the ball with O’Brian moving across and get Gana and Garner holding

We don't have a squad available that has a realistic chance of winning this match

A huge failure from everyone involved in recruitment this summer, and above all the new ownership. They have implemented a structure that doesn't work and hired the wrong people.

Worrying thing is have the Freidkins realised this recruitment crew aren't up to the job and though better to let them waste more money?

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Right - so given that Aznou is likely not going to be starting, this is my XI: -

Pickford

JOB ----- Keane ----- Tark

Garner -------- Gueye
KDH
Ndiaye ----------------------- McNeil
Grealish

Barry
​

Yes - a back 3. As much as Garner ended up doing an able job at LB in a four I really don't want to see him in that part of the pitch for too much longer. Both McNeil & Ndiaye have some defensive qualities to their game which can suit deputising in wing-back roles. KDH & Grealish in the middle of the pitch to (hopefully) knit things together on the ball and Barry to be given a shot in place of a Beto that underperformed on Monday night.

He needs support and giving him 2 of our best attackers behind him would be better than a single no 10

I think we have a chance against Brighton. Don't we have a record against them?
