Administrator Stan Posted October 1, 2020 Administrator Posted October 1, 2020 Kick-off 15.00 Live on BT Sport VS Head to Head Record Everton - 8 Draws - 5 Brighton - 4 Last Meeting 11/01/2020 - Everton 1-0 Brighton
The Artful Dodger Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 Brighton have been impressive so far, despite two losses. They do concede easily though so Everton should get some joy there, win this and it's setup for an actually decent Liverpool derby.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 2, 2020 Subscriber Posted October 2, 2020 Brighton have looked decent against Chelsea and Man Utd. Hopefully not so strong on the road. I do fancy us to get the 3 points here. Our front three are on fire and I don't think we'll give away too much at the back.

Richarlison facing a late test too apparently Yeah I wouldn't risk Allan, I think it was a groin strain. We'll be alright though, should get away with Delph, Doucoure, Gomes. Richarlison looked like an impact injury so he'll probably be fine but if not then Gordon, Bernard and Iwobi have all impressed in Carabao Cup fixtures enough that we should be able to put them in on the left and not worry about them. Even over the past few seasons of being average at best we've generally managed to dispatch fixtures like this so I don't think losing a couple of players will kill us.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 2, 2020 Subscriber Posted October 2, 2020 I forgot about Kenny. Really nasty ankle roll by the looks of it on Wednesday. International break coming at a good time for us!
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted October 3, 2020 Subscriber Posted October 3, 2020 This man just cannot stop scoring. Good goal by Dominic.

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted October 3, 2020 Subscriber Posted October 3, 2020 And Maupay strikes again too. He's such a hardworking striker but it was helped by Pickford.
The Artful Dodger Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 This BNP voter needs fucking off ASAP. Absolute shit and it’s been clear as day for a long time now.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 3, 2020 Subscriber Posted October 3, 2020 For fucks sake Pickford.
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted October 3, 2020 Subscriber Posted October 3, 2020 And Everton are back up again. I don't get how the defense have just let that ball float in the way they have.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 3, 2020 Subscriber Posted October 3, 2020 Filthy cross. Nice header.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 3, 2020 Subscriber Posted October 3, 2020 Back to Pickford though, where does it end? I think most at Everton still remember his first 18 months or so where he was very good, but since that howler at Anfield which was about 18 months ago he hasn't been consistent and he just gave Brighton a goal having not had a save to make all game. Lossl is our second goalkeeper, hasn't played a minute for us in the Premier League. I know he came in under Silva not Ancelotti, but if he's not even good enough to give a run of games to when Pickford has been struggling like he has, what was the point? It's not about Lossl being a better goalkeeper than Pickford or being one that we can rely on to get us into the top six, it's about breaking the cycle for Pickford by giving him a few weeks out of the team to try and get his shit together. Giving him the vote of confidence and letting himself play his way back into form has been tried, it was a valid strategy but we've given it long enough and it hasn't worked. It's time to try something else. If Lossl isn't even good enough to babysit the goal for half a dozen games then surely you can find another goalkeeper who is.
The Artful Dodger Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Iwobi, who I’ve routinely slated, has been excellent since he came on. The architect of both second half goals.
The Artful Dodger Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Too many goals for me this season, it's like Basketball. Is football being Americanised?
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 3, 2020 Subscriber Posted October 3, 2020 We've been dying to concede that 2nd goal to the extent that Walcott literally just watched him chest that down and bury it. Bit pissed that Walcott has come on instead of Gordon to be honest.
