Match Thread Everton v Brentford - Up for the Cup Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[BlueToff]

14 shots, 5 on target, 56% possession, 81% passing accuracy (480 attempted)

Won 53 duels to Brentford's 31. Actually pressing and engaging a team high and lot letting them come on.

Not perfect, but just shows what a remarkable, ludicrous mistake it was in hiring Benitez. He's left us 16th, man

Sigurdsson's ears have just pricked up

As long as it's just his ears.

 

[BlueToff]

Win 4-1? Yeah, I agree.

That and do things like press and pass the ball to each other rather than sit off and lump it to Rondon

 

[Wayno]

disgusting welcome to our new manager

On the contrary it’s a stunning compliment.

 

[Encoder]

I have a few reservations but it's a great start, well in Lampard. Its nice to feel connected to everton again.

Interesting point to note from today that I would absolutely rut Christine Lampard to death

She's banging tbf

@Theoneandonly any thoughts on the performance and management of the game?

 

[Connor]

Win 4-1? Yeah, I agree.

Score goals, win games

Easy enough innit

Don't encourage him. He seems to have lost interest in spending time here since his idol left (as predicted), and long may it continue. Shame a few more didn't go with him.

The Emperor of the Dark side to Rafael the Hut, “You have failed us, they have found the will to win”

He was more like Pizza the Hut, the bloated clueless barrel of lard.

Footy is a very, very easy game.

Footy is a very, very easy game.

Yep, pass and move something we haven’t done for a long time

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Early days I know but I feel we are getting our club back.

Are you trying to tell me that @Theoneandonly, is not really an Everton fan? Scandalous accusation. ?

Went with Tony Gordon as MOTM he looks a very dangerous player with a good football brain who never stops running. Gomez and Allan were both very good as well. The second goal with the ball over the top from Allan and the finish from Richarlison was a thing of beauty.
