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

[Barnfred 55]

3 good contestants for MOM. James, Doucoure and Mina. Went for Mina, a timely reminder to those on here who constantly question his ability for some reason. Good defender, top guy and a huge influence in the dressing room.

Special mention to for Tom Davies. Steady performance and just what the manager would have wanted for him.

One vote for Pickford? it's either a joker or a lunatic that's managed to escape from his straight jacket.

I saw him on his phone on the touch line immediately after the final whistle.

But seriously, we shouldn't hound him too much, we may not be able to sign anyone else and he is still (at least for now) on the England squad.

I guess people get bored of voting for James every time. Mina had a good game but didn’t you all see what happened after James was subbed?

 

[when i score we riot]

Mina definetly deserves MOTM, Hames was rusty at times and if anyone asking how he'd do on a rainy night in Stoke, this is how: 2 goals and an assist!

Davies and Siggy were excellent too, and i'm glad because a lot of you (you know who you are) need to stop slagging them off.
I am sad for Pickers, first and foremost. He should have deserved to be treated better than being dropped but he has proven that he doesn't.

Delph was good when coming on. Walcott disappointing. Hoping Seamus and Richy are fit over the break, because they are sorely needed in the future.

Can't wait for the derby. Christ that feels weird to write. Let's wreck the ratfaced bastards and their [Poor language removed] of a coach. Into them blues.

Carlos problem is he is to nice.

"Carlo's problem"?

You know he's got us top of the league with 4 wins from 4, our best start to the season since the 1800's...

Wish I had half his problems

We just lacked any control once James went off. Nobody to get hold of the ball.

Bernard would have been the change for me.

Not the right weather for Bernard. Needs lead up his trousers

 

[ToffeeTim]

We didn't play that well today either. But when you have DCL in this form, and the sheer quality of someone like James Rodriguez, then you will get results.

 

[nsno-chris]

Gutted about Coleman, need him fit

defo, he’s been brilliant. A true captain

 

[JLW]

So lazy.

Just absolute tripe at footy

 

[BlueToff]

My worry is the amount of muscle injuries we get.

It might just be the fixture congestion but it's been the same for years. Our medical department really does need seriously looking at.

Richarlison was obviously impact I know, but the care for the players doesn't seem to be up to scratch. I've been consistent with this for a while, too. They seem really poor.

 

[Zatara]

Worth going watching Zat.


Poor from us as we invited the shots with poor passing but a fine goal. Wont see much better at Goodison this season.

Just seen it...great strike with Walcott standing off. Bissouma good goal.

Need to get a keeper and bin walcott

 

[jceverton]

Mina motm
2nd Doucoure
3rd James

Special mentions to Walcott and Pickford.

Disgraceful performances.

Just don’t get how Walcott is getting on the pitch ahead of Gordon!

Yep wait until the next Pickford blunders against Liverpool.

 

[BiggyRat]

Last word from me. I voted for Mina as he nearly took Pickford out for us.

 

[Frenk]

Pickford - 2
Coleman - 7
Mina - 8
Keane - 6
Digne - 6
Davies - 6
Doucoure - 8
Gylfi - 7
James - 8
DCL - 8
Rich - 6

Delph - 6
Iwobi - 7
Walcott - 4

Can that be interpreted as Pickford minus 2
