Match Thread Everton vs Brentford - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll.

Good first half, atrocious second half from us. Seems to be the same thing week in, week out, need to be taking our chances and putting games to bed.

Sean is clearly not the savor that so many of you are dreaming of.
We got away with it today, holding on just as we did against Leeds.
Sean never plays our best team, Sean never knows when to make a change.
If by god, jesus and allah all combined we stay up this season, it won't have anything to do with Sean

As long as holding on to it ends up with 3 points then I’ll take that and I’m sure Sean will be happy with that also.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Yesssss gtfi you blue boys. Coyb!!! Onto the next one.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Really should have got the second goal and it would have been a much easier second half. 3 or 4 good chances, especially the Onana one, and a poor VAR decision.

The next step is taking more chances because we created enough to score another goal or 2 today.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Couple of big moments in the game, Onana sitter, Iwobi chance from corner, Toney sitter, Unreal Pickford save, Pinnock sitter.

But it’s never about perfect performances now, we need points and we got them. Massive win.

Think Dyche has a lot to do with building Keane’s confidence, he knows him well, thought he was solid today and did what he was told to do.

Have always thought he was good unless we play a high line as he does not have the pace when the ball has gone behind him.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

I have to say we should have had the game in the bag 1st half, but we conceded too much ground 2nd half. I thought they would come at us the start of the 2nd half but we gave them too much. I’m very happy with the win and if we can get DCL back for Tottenham and a run of games I’m confident we can get over the line. A long way to go but I cant fault Dyche so far. Understandable that we defend the lead I could feel the tension in the Old lady today but it was backs against the wall stuff. A special mention to Micheal Keane who handled Toney well, but should bagged that header 1st half. UTFT

We have to acknowledge that they were the form team in the PL coming into this. The belief we could boss them for 90 minutes is a bit unrealistic.

We were the better team on the day. They can have no complaints.

 

[Sharpies volley]

I hope it doesn't happen, but if we go a goal down we still need to believe. Even if we're 2 down, crack on. Other teams snatch draws and victories from impossible situations, we need to believe that we can. Having said that. I'd take 1-0 wins in every game till the end of the season.

 

[Swartzy]

Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased Keane had a good game but not sure if I am swallowing my words. One pretty good game does not rule out the 10s of awful ones.

We've taken 4 out of 9pts with 2 games on the road since he cam back in..
His biggest weakness is confidence but after a 4-0 drubbing to arsenal we've taken 4 out of 6pts on offer so that ain't bad for a man with confidence issues..

 

[Swartzy]

was at the game today and I can't believe Doucoure hasn't picked up more votes for MOTM, thought he was excellent, worked his socks off.
McNeill, Gana and Keane put a shift in as well.
Wish we had Toney up front (post ban), we would be a half decent unit with a player up front.

Certainly best pass he's made in a long long time, that was a great lay off for McNeil..
And worked is socks off for the rest of the 94 mins.

 

[Swartzy]

Great result today lads, really really needed that and you delivered.
Proper tense butt-cheek game as always, but proper spirit out there and picked up 3pts. Can't ask for more then that...
( Actually, can you do it again next week for us !!!

Really?! Surely if we do stay up it would have more to do with Sean than anybody else? Or is it just a coincidence that the players started to become more effective when Sean replaced Frank?
