• Christine #49, what a battle cry! I’d march off to war with you in a minute....
  Mike Gaynes in Everton vs Brighton: Preview and Predicted Lineups
• That predicted lineup is probably the best we can field with the players we have available. But we all know Moyes will probably play the same lineup he did against Leeds with the likes of Garner out of position....
  Vijay Nair in Everton vs Brighton: Preview and Predicted Lineups
• Christine is spot on. All fans stop moaning about the price of food and drink, stop moaning about last week's Leeds defeat, stop moaning about loosing out on signings and use that energy to get behind the boys wearing blue. For the first time in years I have subscribed to watch Premier league footie, up at stupid o'clock in Australia. Can't shout n scream coz the wife is in bed even gave up the beer drinking. I'm no fan of Moyes but I hope he gets it right today.. For those who attend the match it's your duty to us all to cheer the team to a historic win.. Enjoy the game...

• "Ping" Kickforth, sorry "King" Pickford in goal, back 4 O'Brien, Tarkowski, Keane for a bit of height, McNeil left back and to take the corners. Up front, Barry, Beto and Chermiti with 2 from KD-H, Alcaraz or Grealish just behind for any rebounds which solves the midfield problem as we can just play the preferred long ball game. Which just leaves one spot for Moyes youth policy, probably Gana.Saves messing around trying to sort out the midfield....
  Alan J Thompson in Everton vs Brighton: Preview and Predicted Lineups
• The back four were under the cosh last week so I thought they did alright even if Garner played out of position at left back. I think he will stick with them.I said in the post match thread that I thought it was in midfield that he got it wrong. He should have gone 451. He should leave Ndiaye out left where he did so well for us last season. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. If Grealish is a number 10 play him there from the start and replace him with Alcaraz when he runs out of steam. Dewsbury Hall has to start because he can pass a ball and Gana is a walk up start.That leaves right wing and centre forward. Beto gets some hammer on here but in Grealish and Dewsbury Hall we have two players who can provide him with passes to run onto. I would play Beto.That leaves the right wing (which won’t be a problem for much longer). I would play McNeill there.PickfordO’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, GarnerMcNeill, Dewsbury Hall, Gueye, Grealish, NdiayeBeto....
  Laurie Hartley in Everton vs Brighton: Preview and Predicted Lineups
• Brighton at home and my hopes are we at least get a draw. Hard times. Moyes will pick pretty much the same team as against Leeds. He is conservative in the extreme. Just maybe he'll pick Grealish on the left, shift Ndiaye to the right and drop Alcaraz. Otherwise business as usual and let's hope it isn't as dire as last Monday. But truthfully, why wouldn't it be...?...
