Match Thread Brighton 1-1 Everton. Sat Jan 31st. 3pm

Sadly he’ll be here until his contract ends. I just don’t get his team selections.

I blame Baines for being too soft with him

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

It is but what’s the point of playing if the thinking is like that?

Because that’s all you can do

You show up and try to win and then what happens, happens

The fact a club like us can in effect be punished for being too successful is a symptom of how ruined modern football is

 

[BigBeto1]

Why have we still got a cb at right back when we have them available on the bench ?

 

[BluePeadar]

Tim nice but dim

 

[Verbal Kint]

Tim has made some impact since he came on. Caught in possession 3 times already

 

[Frenk]

Pathetic management today. Sick of it, absolutely no intent.

 

[NathDogg]

The team actually looks much worse after the changes. Lost its grip on the game.

Behave yourself.

 

[mccole]

Needs a piece of quality from somewhere

 

[Drico]

Do you think this squad (with the players we’ve had missing for large chunks) should have more than 33 points this season? I think you’re overrating the squad.

I think we could have turned up today at the start, at Anfield, at home to Leeds, against Wolves, at Burnley and possibly scored a penalty against Sunderland.

These players have big limitations - particularly from the penalty spot - but there are better, more constructive managers in world football for a club of our size. However, without the ambition to be better, we're stuck with Comfy Cardy because he's "safe."

 

[Rita_Poon]

beto on.

O Brien has the longest throw.

 

[Bluewolf]

Remember when we played a rb at rb and a flat midfield 3 against one of the best sides in the league and looked really good?

Wtf happened there???

 

[Curtis]

If we're going to equalize possession would be helpful

 

[ValBlue]

The set pieces have been typically awful

 

[AirMo]

Should've kept O'brien and Tawks as CB with Patto as RB

Yeah. For all O’Brien is meant to be a better defender and Patterson terrible, Mitoma has had the freedom of that side and has been unmarked half the time.
