Match Thread Brighton 0-1 Everton. Sat January 25th. 3pm

[Ruairi77]

Well done blues. More a dyche type performance, but the difference was we hung on. The only dampener on today was the injuries. Our squad was always thin, but now it’s thread bare.

There's also the fact that dyche wouldn't have started O'brien at right full, he wouldn't have gone to 3 at the back, he would have put young on at RB at some point, he'd definitely have brought Keane on at some point. Mykolenko would still have had no confidence.....
This was defensive football but with some sort of plan a bit more thought out than what the lads down the pub could come up with.

Stuck at Brighton train station but waiting doesn't seem quite as bad after 3 points. I wonder what Maupay is going to put on his Twitter tonight.

Ahh that reminds me...

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Agreed. Which would be some bloody effort after just 4 games of Moyes' tenure.

Game at a time anyway. I don't suddenly think we're the bees knees but if nothing else we must have so much more confidence going into that.

We can then concentrate on reeling in West Ham and Man Utd!

I wish everybody would just forget about him tbh. He craves attention regardless of whether positive or negative. He will go down as one of the worst strikers in our history, let's just never mention his name again. BTW COYB great support that today from the fans.

The Echo giving Gana a 7 and Doucoure a 6

 

[ForeverEverton]

Who would have thought all our ills were all down to a really really really crap manager....

Moyes showing up Dyche with the exact same squad! I still recall the Dychettes defending him.... clueless...

 

[DanB90]

Pickford said summat to Van Hecke I'm guessing.

How the fk did he understand him?

Proof that they’re the lowest tier possible when it comes to reliability concerning us

 

[blue61]

A proper scrap that , a great win , team spirit is back , as seen at the end ... May as well be playing with 9 when beto and docoure play and we still managed to win .... moyes just belongs at everton .... onwards and upwards

Great to see that at the end. This is more important than any 'paper over the cracks' signings in January.

Maybe Pickford knows some Dutch. Strikes me as a duolingo ninja

 

[LostLegend]

Really enjoying the Brighton fans having a meltdown over this.

 

[blue61]

Only recruitment will move us away from perennial relegation scraps.

Moyes isn't soft;



Id be surprised if we finish higher than 15th tbh, but let's see.

Reckon he'd love to finish above West Ham.

Stuff them, Manure should be the target.

Players too

 

[edge]

Didn't watch any of today's game so consider myself a jinx.

Think I'm going to knock going to Leicester on the head and not watch that either.

Massive result. Beat Leicester and I think that's us all but safe.

You do that jinx

Yes .... always a hallmark of moyes teams
