Match Thread Everton v Brighton - Preview, Match Report and MotM poll

[DanB90]

This argument needs to die. We were awful last season. We won away at empty stadiums playing the same type of football as what we are now. As soon as crowds came back, the results started to match the football.

We were unbeaten with crowds last season??

Rafael's argument "we always have to be careful with young players, ..... they need to be consistent every game" . YA, Rondon, consistently bad

That's the only thing he's consistent at, if I was Dobbin watching him get on ahead of me I'd be straight off

 

[Davideeyore]

Benitez trying to convince Dobbin to sign a new contract by bringing on Rondon.

Agree to disagree. We've been awful. Yeah they put some effort in for spells in 2nd half, but there was absolutely no quality (with the exception of a few moments from Gordon)

Agree. Life would be boring if we all had the same outlook. We have some quality, but need better if we are hoping not to get relegated this season. We really need additional signings.

 

[BrendanGOT]

He has to go that's me done with him. Give him all the chances but he'd a strong sqaud to pick from today and got it all wrong when 3 points were absolutely required. Time for Mosh to make a decision, sacking Brands seems silly now

 

[Gilbert..]

Chasing a point at home.
87 mins. Has TWO strikers on the bench.
Brings on a midfielder.
That is ralph benitez.
Happy new year.

Had 2 weeks to prepare for that and it looked like they all spent it eating magic mushrooms

Sounds infinitely more appealing than anything I've done tbh

This isn't said in any way gloating but that's now 6 out of 36. How much longer before it's unacceptable?

Why do we always lose the new year game? Five years on the bounce now, four of them at Goodison.

 

[Jacob]

You can do nothing with a Heath Robinson, back of a fag packet set up like our manager concocted today. Moreover, you can do nothing with so called professional footballers who can't do the basics of controlling their feet with the ball, passing accurately, tackling properly, robust defensive headers, accurate corners. And then some. We've got a bursting at the seams number of monitoring, training, performance technical staff at Finch Farm who clearly don't show back these horror performances to the usual suspects.

Anyone got the running stats yet?

I assume that's a Newcastle fan just preparing a straightener

 

[Mashtray]

Turned off just before the final whistle.

Wish I had stayed on, wanted to hear the reaction

Was there boos?
