Match Thread Brighton & H Albion vs Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Swartzy]

You’d have thought they were prime Barcelona or Real Madrid the way some on here were going on about them. Writing off Everton of having any chance of even getting a point at Brighton of all teams. Shove that 5-1 in your pipe.

As Happy And Positive As Always !!!!!

All across the pitch we were brilliant.
Everything clicked. Hopefully Mina keeps his place and stays clear of injury.
Imagine having him and DCL fit all season - we'd be nowhere near this trouble again.

Forest winning isn't ideal but 4 more points I think should be enough.

Well done and congratulations, Everton. A great away performance and by far the best seen at the Amex this season. Your fans were a credit to you too. You deserved that result and gave us a right old wake up call. A special mention to the Toffees fan that asked if I was okay at the top of the stairs to the coach park (I was struggling with my knees and was taking a breather) We wished each other well and he said he hoped the Albion got some European away trips to go to while I wished Everton well for their last three games. It'll be tough for both clubs but I'll be delighted if both sets of supporters end up smiling on the last day. Good luck, and again well done to you all.

Posts like this make me smile. Not for the first time recently a rival fan has posted a nice message on here and shown their class. This is what its all about.

If anyone lumped on the general 7/1 price before kick off good bloody on you. I bottled it.
Enjoy those winnings

Is that Bill sitting next door but one to the four eyed finger giving melt?

Bill has just completed his voiceover for the Brighton DVD available at £12 00 but reduced to £10.00 with 100 away match ticket stubs.

I couldn't hear the commentary but I know this idiot was co-commentator...

Can't stand the muppet, but to be fair, I think most of us were thinking the same before the match.

First game I haven't been able to watch all season as it wasn't a bank holiday in Spain and I had to work.

Rest easy lads, I'll find some work to do for the last 3 matches.

The draw against Leicester looks pretty good now

I see Iverson was back to normal today.

3 more performances like that and we’re sound. Can’t fault any of them. McNeil MOM, honourable mentions across the park though.

Hats off to those who travelled down. Superb, everyone of you. Let’s get the place bouncing v City, and you just never know…..

Fantastic win. Kudos all round.

How good were McNeil, Doucoure, & Pickford. What a difference it makes having DCL in the side.

But I don't like it when we go into our shell for such long periods. They easily could have scored a couple more in the second half.

Brighton have some very tasty players indeed - Mitoma, Ferguson, March among others. They are an entertaining team to watch.....especially when we are beating them 4 - 0.

The fight must continue!

8-0
A not more vigorous bumming will be had anywhere else in Brighton that evening...

See, I was close. Just didn't figure who was the top or bottom this fine evening..

I'm a little bit inebriated at the moment, but kudos to all those blues who travelled all the way to Btighton. Every one of you is a hero.
Fantastic away support yet again.

 

[Zezti]

Unbelievable to be honest. 5-1?? When was the last time we scored 5 away from home?

 

[Lineker]

Outstanding defensively against tricky opponents and absolutely clinical on the counter. Very difficult to pick a MOTM but Dwight McNeill was mine. Pushed close by Doucoure and Pickford.
Very little mention of the sterling defensive job Mykolenko did - not always easy on the eye but he gave a very gutsy, never-say-die performance against good players.
Garner was very efficient too.

Thought Patterson was shaky the first few times the Japanese fella tested him but did alright. Watched bha last week and knew that was where the danger area was

 

[Lineker]

Think Sean Dyche deserves a lot of credit for this one. The way Everton set up from the beginning confounded them. Second half they made adjustments to their approach but by then the damage was done.

 

[Bkk Andy]

Every player played well. McNeil was my MOM but DCL completely changed the way we play. 3 points is probably enough. 4 definitely will be.
