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

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.

Every chance of that. West Ham are pants

66% win rate. Cry harder.

Surely if there is anything to take away from Sean Dyche…

There's a line between trying to play "the right way" and being naive and allowing quality opposition space to hurt you is always the wrong side of it.

Not trying to score goals is always the wrong way. Sadly sometimes in football it works anyway and so people construe that as being acceptable. It isn’t, and over time it always is shown as such.

If you think we’re going to go away to teams like Brighton and play them off the park you’re mad. Yes we did it but that was a one off performance otherwise we wouldn’t be in these positions if that was the norm. It is acceptable if it’s working and you’re getting results especially wins. It’s not acceptable when you’ve got no plan B and not scoring goals don’t think any player or manager tries to not score goals.

Lineker didnt think its was a pen by the way!

..it's that he got booted because he didn't win enough football matches?

Honestly, it's just nice that we've already jumped straight from worrying if we'll still be a Premier League football club at the end of the season, to worrying about the style of how we win football matches.

Could be worse?

My first away game in some time. 3,000 blues made more noise than we made in our last home game! It really seemed to lift the team. Brighton have more quality, but our lads wanted it more.

Strong mentality. UTFT!

As far as I can see he's not a wingback either.

Lindstrom makes a better effort of doing that for us.

Fair point.

He's still running up and down the flanks which normally warrants pace which he does not possess.

….good morning Toffees;

 

[Bluebonic]

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.

I have no idea what you look like, but from this point onwards I will read all your post as though Buster Merryfield were speaking them.

It’s none of his business.

 

[Tipp blue]

Brighton players moaning about our defensive tactics... what exactly are we supposed to do go all out attack, with limited attacking players and let them bum us?

Our away crowd is always better.

 

[Tramps_mate]

Wow. Talk about bitter losers!! Brighton cry arsing like crazy!

Also, didn't realise Mangala went off too!

Twas ever thus. The away crowd is always better than the home. Yesterday we just had the added bonus of a competent manager.
