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

[HalfTimeSayers]

Have they put out some kind of legal document saying they have to be referred to as “Albion” this season? Are the people of Hove not happy about everyone calling them Brighton? Annoying.

repeat fouling, still not punished.

Beto warming up.

 

[Buckers]

Thoughts on Barry?

Think he's grown into the game and has shown some good play as well as less great stuff. Would rather focus on the good and hope he keeps learning and improving.

Shades of Anichebe but who can keep his feet?

He’s looked tidy. Keeps his place in the team if you ask me. The goals will come.

 

[Marius57]

Barry is surprisingly good in the build up. He looks gangly and uncomfortable on the ball but he makes the right choices.

“too raw” “not ready”.

What absolute bull.

He has done well today, wins first balls, runs into space, was important in the build up to Garners goal. Needs a goal to cap it off.

 

[Delargeinho]

They still look dangerous in our box

Luckily they play it way too complicated.

 

[PercyPlant]

What a player this Minteh is.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Quality slide tackle Grealish.

Tarkowski booked for arguing with lino.

 

[Dixieslaces]

What a tackle Jack G lad. Class

 

[jazzy]

Grealish having a stormer

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Iroegbunam has the happy knack of drawing fouls when in difficult areas.

 

[Toffeeslam]

Would love a Barry goal

 

[Taifi gorm]

Keane hasn't been the worry at CB today.

Hope I've not cursed it.

FFS lad

 

[PeregrineT]

I like Beto coming on late, hes best running in behind, and Brighton chasing the game will play a high line and be open to counter attack.

A couple great tackles by Grealish.

 

[Rita_Poon]

What a player this Minteh is.

Stubbs just said the same, a really alert and powerful player.

 

[Hellerad]

Grealish taking a real gamble there. Box to box though.
