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

[ElGato]

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.

Agree.

Don't think they've torn us apart exactly

 

[Drico]

Always a good sign on here at half-time when the manager's thread isn't trending high on page 1...

 

[BlueShark]

We are good in places but extremely fortunate to still be ahead.

Yes brighton have had good chances but all have had an element of luck in them for them too. Mitoma handled the ball before hitting it so would have been disallowed
Gueye was actually barged from behind for the welbeck chance. Van Heckes shot took a massive deflection and Tarkowski..... well

How have Brighton not scored? If they score early in the second half, I can see us caving in

I think the lads are doing well considering the players we have missing. Desperately missing Myko but we already knew that.

Would like to see KDH deeper for Gueye on 60, Jack in the 10 and McNeil filling in to help Garner. Tim has been very good today and starting to grow I think.

Myko is the the best Everton player by a large margin.

Pickford has saved Tarks backside there.

I reckon the Scouting team just went on FM and searched 'players similar to Beto' to sign Barry.

He did more than Beto is about 10 minutes than Beto did the whole match. I don’t get this thing that they’re alike because they’re not. He started the goal by holding the ball up and getting it to Ndiaye, Beto is not capable of that.

The forwards have done well but Tarkowski is having one of his nightmare games like Bournemouth in the cup

UTFC isn't it lol

Had a bit of luck but they are not that much better than us. We are having to integrate new players and have a midfielder playing left back and our 3rd choice CB at right back and 4th choice CB at CB. Just hope we can hold on or even get better in 2nd half but not to disappointed in the 1st half

Iroegbunam is on yellow though.

 

[Bebeto]

You're joking right?

He's looking really good, comfortable in possession and can deliver a cross

He is running and not getting close to the ball...yes his delivery is 100% better than doucs...but in this system moyes is playing has to do a lot more defending than what he is doing right now.

Next goal, critical.

KDH has been very average so far this season...I was expecting a lot more from him. Last season doucs better so far...

Serious?!

That ball in the buildup comes to Doucs and it’s out for a throw. KDH is absolutely different class on the ball and he’s put himself about in the press as well.
