[Albion] Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Hugo Rune]

Sarmiento on the bench means he's staying? I certainly hope so.

Must be. Opposite to ACD.

 

[Javeaseagull]

That looks like 343 to me. Hope so

 

[southstandandy]

No Cozier Duberry either - thought he looked good in pre-season?

 

[Dirty Dave]

Apologies if answered else where, all the team line ups seemed to have been announced before the typical 1 hour before kick off, around 1.50 Is this a new thing?

 

[Mustafa II]

That lineup has been chosen specifically to counter Dycheball.

It was mentioned on Talk Sport yesterday that teams will be announced at 1.45 this season.

Yes, apparently 75 mins pre KO now.

As Blackadder has said. It’s now in line with UEFA protocols!

If so, then FH has already gone up in my estimation! Choosing a team for the opposition, been a while since we saw that!

 

[zefarelly]

THat appears to be a weapons grade starting line up.

Me likey

 

[Littlemo]

Good line up. Can’t wait for this.

 

[Weststander]

Great to see Hinshelwood back.

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

interesting to see Omahony on the bench. Im guessing Fergie still crocked?

 

[trueblue]

Surprised and a bit disappointed to see Veltman in and Barco out after last week. Great to see Hinshelwood back in the team though.

With that bench you can see exactly why we signed Gruda and are going for Rutter and Kadioglu.

I'd agree. Bearing in mind Dyche's usual tactics though, maybe Veltman's height is considered useful.

 

[London Irish]

Relieved that we've gone for the defensively stronger Hinsh over Barco, who still has a bit of the buonanotte lamptey lightweights about him

But his recovery tackles are awesome, if a bit close to booking territory!

 

[Eric the meek]

Not everyone's convinced, but Milner has still got a place in the team at 38. Phenomenal.

As long as it’s not as FB

Won't even be the oldest bloke playing on the pitch today!

Pedantry is my favourite way to start the day too

Prompted by your inclusion of 'ever' after 'last'.

Oh, and mine is sex.
