Match Thread Everton v Brighton & Hove Albion - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[JohnRoss23]

I’m still fairly new to following Everton/premier league but does the league ever make comments as why they didn’t call a penalty, Walcott today for example?

Golly gosh we are only just below the great Tottenham and Wolves and the amazing Sheffield Utd. Look upwards my friends and not downwards.

No, we make comments though as did the fans at the match. e.g. VAR as applied is a farce, or words to that effect.

Not sure if been mentioned but there was a really weird atmosphere today.

Like a calm before the storm, you could hear almost every word the players were saying which is very unusual, if Brighton scored at any point there probably would have been a riot.

 

[KindofBlue]

Needed win, still much work to do.

Very bizarre, seems as if the league can’t decide what is and isn’t a penalty. A lot of human emotion going into decisions, figured VAR would even that out a bit. Been disappointed so far.

It's called the Clive Thomas-Mark Clattenburg ruling.

If it's Everton, they don't get it.

Just woke up. Pleased to see we won.

 

[Amw79]

Or were the fans disappointed to see Bernard coming off?

nah, it was as Delph was announced the booing started. Definitely directed at him.

...I note a lot of you have PM’d me regarding Potty and his homesickness...I shall endeavour to reply to you all as soon as I can...however, I should advise that the camp was back in 73, and things were not at all PC back then...there is a shed load of stuff that might offend ‘sensitive’ ears.

Yeah, was strange. Seemed the crowd was like a coiled spring, ready to unleash.

Understandable, but must be a tough atmosphere to play in, knowing that one false move, and you’re getting an absolute hammering from the crowd.

Moyes was at the game today I reckon he will fancy his chances against us next weekend.

 

[Abraders]

I bet there are a few on here disappointed though that the team was encouraged and not booed on. Oh and that the atmosphere was not "toxic" as some said they hoped.
Regarding the game itself, since when was that not a penalty against Walcott? VAR is turdish. Also why did Carlo sub Bernard our best player? Was it to defend a 1-0? My Grandson not at the match saw it on TV and said it was a certain penalty. 28 points and 15 to go for safety and ten the cull of rubbish begins (I hope).

VAR is a farce etc.

The atmosphere today was definitely not great though.

 

[Nobby Nobbs]

Went for Richarlison by a whisker from Bernard and that's because Bernard was hooked wrongly imo.

A wins a win,momentum and all that.
