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

[ForeverEverton]

Last manager to win a game in August is NO LONGER Rafael Benitez... Go on Davey Moyes... more controlled 2nd half.

Corrupt Idiot Refs just can't wait to give penalties against us can they?

One other thing!

Jack just very rarely loses the ball. Even when he does, he has this strange knack of winning a throw, foul or even a goal kick in impossible situations.

Add Dibbling and we're actually going to cause teams problems this season.

Hard to pick between Grealish and Pickford for MOTM - two top players

Said it live, happy for a 10/10 for Grealish and it was a fine full home debut.

Pickford though, for me was 11/10, something of a rarity. Saved our bacon.

Can't wait for photos of the game and the ground to turn up over the following days.

 

[Tipp blue]

40% of penalties awarded so far this season have been given against us.

Rubbish decisions too.

 

[JammyP]

Well, that was fun.

 

[ChesterBlue]

Their main chances were Tarks horror error and that absolutely outrageous penalty.

Pretty sick of VAR trying to cheat us every game with outrageous penalties

 

[Howards tipple]

Get in

Looked nervous at the start and not surprised. What an occasion.

Pickford immense.

Shouts for Tim, Garner - who worked so hard as they tried to exploit him being out of position. Great to see him rewarded with a goal. Grealish is just a different class.

Made up it was Ndiaye electric.

Get these couple of positions filled this week and I am excited for the rest of the season.

stubbs "they are very good, they are a very good side, we were fortunate to go in 1-0 up, another day it could have been 3-1 down. we contributed to it, sloppiness, defensive duties. we took our chances, they didn't, Pickford with two huge saves,"

being pushed for his MotM pick.

i this summer was really glad we are not wasting money on players.

After this game now I am demanding that the transfer committee activate the 50 mill to buy Jack regardless of him being 30 this season

 

[Rita_Poon]

Stubbs picks Grealish by the finest margin over Pickford, but would understand it the other way.

McNeil has to score, and Grealish gets a hat trick of assists.

 

[McCall2Radzinski]

If I were a Brighton fan, I'd ask if Welbeck was on the take.

 

[pwhak88]

He’s one of the lads! Still can’t believe we’ve got Grealish man. He looks to be enjoying himself at the moment.

 

[brittcop1]

I think the confidence that will give us, especially after Leeds, will be massive...
