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

[Gilbert..]

Need to get through this.
Pickford and iwobi. We are playing with 9 men.

Great first half. Some of our passing and movement was superb. I love the way we chase the ball down to regain possession. Good from everyone except that absolute pillock between the sticks. Just catch and hold the ball ffs .....

 

[TyphooToffee]

I'd like to think Carlo has made a decision about Pickford now.

 

[hktoffee]

It may be unpopular to say this based on the general consensus towards him these days, but Gylfi has been excellent this half. Doucouré and Coleman too.

Indeed.

 

[Frenk]

Didn’t Southampton sign a lad who got a fake pele to speak to Harry Redknapp and he signed on that and was awful?

I remember something like that, yes.

 

[Bullens Rd]

T How has just slammed Pickford and said he's no longer good enough for us

 

[MondayHater]

Iwobi and Pickford on the pitch and still winning! If that happens Ancelotti is up to get a statue!

The only plus side is it’s VERY doubtful Iwobi will cost us a goal. He won’t score probably but doubtful to score an own goal

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Going to do a half time stripe in honour of our Colombian contingent

 

[AdamEFC]

Imagine this time last year saying James Rodríguez would be doing the Macarena with DCL in front of a ground that’s empty due to a pandemic.

 

[Croker]

Great, us fans in Oz are being treated to the “insights” of Andy Townsend and Glenn Hoddle at half-time.

 

[DownOnTheUpside]

this is like when you play your little brother at fifa and you have to put a defender in goal to make it look fair

GOED EVERTON we'll just outscore everyone

 

[TheBigIguana]

I'd like to think Carlo has made a decision about Pickford now.

We've got a couple of days. Get Romero on the phone at a minimum.

 

[when i score we riot]

Chuffed we're leading, and even without the fans in the stadium to sour the mood we are our own worst enemy.
Thoroughly deserved lead, two easy headers from point blank range at the same spot in the goal.

Seamus Coleman and Gylfi Sigurdsson been standout performers.
Fair play to Davies not doing much wrong. Digne and Hames are solid as well. DCL of course for the goal, really switching in for that one-touch Inzaghi game. You can see he keeps that thought in his forehead constantly - one touch, max!

They're scrappy and the weather makes everyone play badly but despite us getting battered for a while in between 35 and 45 minutes they really can't do more damage to us than what Pickford alone does.

I understand the vitriol and all but i really want to stress that we need to get behind JP as our #1. Confidence, fleeting performances, goalkeepers union and all. Be like Big Nev, show some mercy.

 

[DanEFC92]

Need more of that from Mina, he's 12 foot 3 he should be bagging those all day.

Think it's his 4th? Not good

 

[Araragy]

Without Richy we only have Iwobi which is unreliable at all.

Boy, this will be one long match we got including the unforgivable Pickford.
