 Welcome to Toffee TV. It is the starting eleven show Everton versus Brighton Hall of Albion. Goodison Park seems like ages since we played the game. It seems like ages since we were at Goodison Park watching the victory over Arsenal. Um but let's just hope that the players are refreshed, fit over over COVID and I know some of them are and I know some of them are still in the team basically based on the pitches that we've seen of them training because there's no real no real knowledge out there of who is fit and who isn't fit for this game. So let's get into it. In goal, Jordan Pickford for me was the player of 2021. Um it's been remarkably steady and hopefully that continues. Uh right back, Seamus Coleman, I think he's fit to come back into the side. Uh Seamusatoire in the scene of training. uh John Joe Kenney did a good job against Chelsea playing in that. It basically was playing right back wasn't he but um we're gonna need a little bit more. Uh lots of rumors going around that there could be possibly someone coming in to hope hopefully help with the right back role. Um but uh Seamus Coleman, good that he's had a few days off. You know he's been, he's had over, he's had over well he's had 3 weeks So, that's that's positive. Uh at Lefbach, Luka Dean is available and really should be playing when you look at our injury situation. Uh of course, um Tali, Michael Enker has come in and uh he's not eligible for this game of course and he's going to give him competition over the next couple of weeks. Dean obviously could leave the club in that time as well Michael Enker is bedding into the club. Luka Dean is available to play and um hopefully he starts this game because I think we really need them. Uh the centre backs Michael Keane has been pretty consistent recently. You know, he plays every week. Um listen, he's not the greatest centre back in the world that we're all aware of that but he he does play. He plays nearly every single week. He's consistent. We can count on him and I thought he was very good against Chelsea and alongside him Ben Goffy who um he was okay against Chelsea although it did feel like he was at fault for the goal in terms of his position and that's something he really needs to to work on. Into midfield uh Alan should return to the starting line up. He was on the bench against Chelsea but um never likely well he didn't come on because he because he had an injury. He was simply there to fill the space but again he's had a he's had a couple of weeks recovery so that's good and hopefully he'll start next to him. Uh Gomez, Andre Gomez for me uh going into that three in midfield with Ducore ahead of them and hopefully Ducore does play ahead of those two players. I think that's what was an issue um against Crystal Palace was the way we played. Ducore for me should always be the one bombing forward. The number eight Gomez should sit deeper and try and take the ball off the back four uh or off Alan. Uh I think Ducore is somebody who can get goals can get assists and we need that. When you're playing too deep I just don't think you get enough out of him so I'm going to go for those three in midfield. On the right hand side uh Anthony Gordon and he plays best game against Chelsea. I thought he was brilliant. I thought he really took the responsibility that night of being the uh the the player for the team he was going to drive us forward and he did winning as far as the assist for the goal so uh I think he'll probably start on the right hand side with the Mardi Gray on the left hand side. This obviously is favorite position. Um I think he had a bout of COVID so hopefully he's over that and um you know obviously back back to it's not going to get straight back into it obviously but you know we've all got the memory of the last time we played at Goddison Park and his last minute winner so uh he has been the real spark for us this season and we you know hope that continues uh and up front Domino Carvaluin he's he should have retained on boxing there on the bench um is it ideal starting them now but I don't think we've got anything else obviously no with Charleston um yes Ellison started against Chelsea but if there's an opportunity to play Domino Carvaluin for an hour and he's fit and we've seen him in these pictures of him in training so he must be he must be ready to go then we're going to have to start him and listen the whole team I imagine is going to be rusty for this game they've they've had over two weeks off and we've seen from other teams it's not easy to jump back into it right and only played three days ago and uh you know they they they'll be straight at us from the start but Domino Carvaluin it'll be a real lift for the team a real lift for the fans going into the second half of the season that we that he's back fit and he really is the player that we've been missing and hopefully you know he can get the goals and guide us to three points against uh very good Brighton side who uh for only lost four times this season so it's going to be a difficult game and again the squad isn't at its fullest there's no meaner of course um to play centre back um you know squad players there's doubts about some of the squad players Tom Davis should be available on the bench we get some players back we get some new silence hopefully it'll be a better second half of the season so that's the team I'm going for let me know you thought in the comments you agree do you disagree with that team let me know make sure to give this video a like subscribe if you haven't already if you want more great videos join us over on page and the link is in the description and it's on the screen see you later
