Match Thread Brighton & Hove Albion v Everton, Preview, Report and MotM Poll

Coleman chance did my swede in.

Should have just taken the shot quicker

Whats happened to Walcott

Ya he's slightly off form over a spell of about 10 years, it's a slight worry!! Joking aside he's an incredibly frustrating player, looked like he'd come round the other day but all his inadequacies have been on show today

 

[Sona]

Just lacking a little bit of sharpness at the moment presumably given the quick turnaround of games; not forgetting also that we’re playing on the South Coast so travel factors in on the tiredness too.

I would like to see us switch to a back four though and overload the midfield. Brighton only have one up top so a CB pairing should be sufficient in dealing with that, whilst we’d then have a 3v3 in the middle with the usual wide players drifting in to overload.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Brighton are utter poo, so obviously they'll score a few second half and take the points.

We need to click and put some chances away. After an awful December this and the Leicester games are absolute must-win games.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Not having a winger on the bench is a problem

Gomez poor today passing poor....

 

[banno]

It has been tough but we have had the better chances. Agree once again with the 3 CB's against teams like Burnley and Brighton. We couldn't string aany passes together initially with some ferocious pressing from Brighton. Once that pressing subsided we came into it. It is still a battle but we have more space to play. Richarlison really needs to stay on his feet and man up. We need to work a little harder to prevent crosses coming in and to stop giving needless fouls away in our half. Not so bad so far and feel we will continue to create more chances. Just need to convert.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Seem pretty much in control so far, the goals will hopefully come. not sure we really need to continue with 3 at the back now.

Always thought 3 at the back is a polite way of saying 5 at the back!

Gomez poor today passing poor....

Gomez plays for Liverpool Joey.

 

[carolinablue232]

Get Gylf on before 60.

 

[deipnosophist]

I’m glad Spurs are winning and also Newcastle. Rondon is playing well

 

[domingo77]

Gomes looking tired too me - 12 consecutive game after injury catching up. Just a tweek will see us take all three points here. Noticeable that their mid three have moved back about 10yrds as the half wore on.

 

[mccole]

Bernard/Walcott for DCL
Gomes for Sigurdsson

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Agree I think he’ll change it at 60 minutes

Hopefully no later than that. The longer it goes on the deeper Brighton will sit to try and take a point.

They always use the term “ three central defenders “ makes it sound less negative
