They were all absolute rubbish today. Silva says there is a future for Tosun at Everton and yet its Niasse on the bench. I give up.

There surely can’t be a future for Tosun

Didn't take our chances. Didn't need the changes.

Gueye should never be brought into a team who scored 5. There's a reason we scored goals without him. Another diabolical game in posession.

We are a mid table team.

Dead right we are a mid table team, so expect mid table performances. No shock there. Last season we struggled to get that far.

Despairing is the word you were looking for. Do not despair, good times lie ahead, maybe.

You know what I meant though

You cold take the World’s best XI, put them in an Everton shirt, and they’d become a typical Everton team...win one, lose won , draw one.

It drives me bananas!!

Ah fatigue excuses already, we play once a week, not like other teams playing twice every week. Such bull.

Everton defender Michael Keane on whether Brighton's goal offside?

"At the time a lot of the lads were not sure who the ball came off but I was right there, it came off our player, so it was not offside, he was lucky it happened to fall to him, unlucky for us.

"We didn’t start as we wanted to, they put pressure on us and got the goal. We didn’t create clear cut chances.

"They started brightly, we grew into the game, I had a chance with my head. We’ve got to take them. If we go 1-0 up, we can control the game. We had a win against Burnley and wanted to build on that.

"Maybe the loss was down to fatigue, but also they have got a good defence, solid, hard to break down. So do we so there were never going to be too many goals. Maybe fatigue played a part, on our day we could cause them problems.

"We need to put things right, ensure we start the year with a win and get up the table back to where we belong.

Keane mentions fatigue twice in that summary, well that seems a load of nonsense to me, how can they be tired, mind you it is tiring watching them and even more tiring listening to rubbish like that.

Fatigue will be part of the story but not all of it. Not a coincidence that spurs were the other team shafted by the fixture list and they concede 3 in the last 20.

If only Keane didn't have a 50p head when attacking. even so we deserved nothing from that and I feel sorry for those top class fans that travelled to the south coast.

I was thinking of something else when the 2nd goal went in.
