Anyone know what their 2nd goal was offside for? I couldnt see why on the replay

Offside as soon as the kick came over before the other guy headed it ...

 

[Bilbo]

Well neither team deserved to win is another way to spin it.

Is that the same as neither deserved to lose?

Moyes you lucky duck. 6 to go.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Well well well

The self vaults are strong today. So long dry January...

It was always going to be a tight game where the first goal was crucial and it reminded me of the game a couple of years ago when Dunk scored an injury time equaliser. Pleased for Beto as it's birthday I believe.

It was for a Brighton player blocking one of ours.

Sell Beto in the summer. He'd still get double figures in Serie A in mid table team.

Basically what you're going to get in the run in this game. Hard to beat, more 1-1 draws but blimey need to get past this mentality of just putting CBs in the full back positions and sign some actual full backs who can get decent crosses in, link with Grealish or whoever is playing there next season, step into midfield etc.

All the modern things that FBs who play for teams challenging for Europe do.

He admitted yesterday it has taken a year to find a right back. For a premier league club with people paid to sort these things out that is ridiculous.

All ganes like this does is just prolong the inevitable. Rinse and repeat.

I felt nothing when we equalised because it simply repeats what happens here all the time, short term thinking.

Beto gets a handful of goals, Hes kept despite clearly showing Hes not the answer .

2 points dropped for Everton that. We would have easily won with a less negative side.

Absolutely no idea why Patterson was dropped. Moyes just makes a massive rod for himself with his decisions at times.

If Myko is injured, bring Branthwaite in st LB, keep Patto in and mirror what he did last season with the O’Brien at RB and Myko at LB.

hahahaha phone in

"It was David Moyes that killed us, he went down the line like a winger" for the equaliser.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Right place, right time.
That's a strikers job...

I reckon he's probably better at mixing 7 herbs and spices...

Nah in that scenario both teams played well and neither deserved to lose.

This scenario is neither team played well and thus neither deserved 3 points and a bump up the division.

 

[Ray Purchase]

This, and a couple of players in on Monday night.

A half decent weekend.

I don't see how anyone can defend Moyes on the basis of that game ,he gets the selection wrong so many times and then strikes lucky with the subs .I would say he has no place in the modern game but I must have said it before .Imagine if we had a truly good manager not one who has so many fooled into thinking he is one .
