Match Thread Everton 2-0 Brighton. Sun Aug 24th. 2pm

Fed up hearing carragher and his nonsense. Shouldn't have to put up with that when watching my team

I totally agree, can we all spam Sky about it?!

Miriam hitting the bar wasn’t a chance as used his arm. Tarkowski terrible mistake and hit post from a big deflection. I would say only chance was welbecks

If we get given the handball by VAR.

They would probably find away to allow it.

Well we had a great goal, But other than that Brighton have looked better in the final third. They have their LB on a yellow now, we need to get the ball to Ndiaye and get him to run at him.
I don’t think the Long Ball from Pickford to Barry is working, their CB’s beat him in the air everytime, we would be better playing it in the channels, if we are going long from the keeper.
We certainly need a 2nd goal, we would need some real luck to keep these out for another 45

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Grealish and Ndiaye look a good combination.

 

[ElGato]

Not a bad half of football, certainly good for the neutral

Lucky to not have conceded, but have equally created the chances to be ahead

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Every one of their chances came from our mistakes. Very clearly not a good thing but if DM slaps that out of the players we’ll be fine.

 

[davies1878]

Need to buy or loan a striker whist they give Barry time to integrate

 

[Chegsy]

No real balance in areas. Dodgy CB pairing.

Thankfully we have 2 good wide players

It's definitely nice to have a threat from both sides.

 

[Marius57]

Every chance they have had has come from absolute basic defensive mistakes. Desperately need Myko and branthwaite back.

 

[bluestevon]

2nd is big deflection though

And one other of their chances came from Gueye slipping.

 

[johnjoeefc]

On GOT at the match!!! Well I am shocked. What a save from Pickford there. Ndiaye will all the stadium records

I couldn't get a ticket mate. But please help ramp up the volume to max second half to see us get the 3 points

 

[bullybeef]

Can’t help feel that the left back debacle isn’t helping the defence.

No slight on Garner.

 

[Thomasc]

Very, very lucky to be winning.

 

[b-rad]

Love how Grealish slowed down, just to draw that challenge and a yellow card. The game is so easy for him.

We need to exploit their two yellow cards second half. Keep it tight and break on those men.

 

[atrottel]

We're lucky but we are winning. Grealish and Ndiaye (and Gana as ever) looking good. Garner deserves a special mention as he is completely out of position but doing an adequate job so far. (Can only assume that McNeil has a cob on.)
