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

[Zeitgeist]

Pickford has recently punched tricky crosses, in poor conditions he decides to catch. Error.

Just like the derby when he should have tipped it. But we all know what happened there. Very similar.

We def need another option in goal. His confidence is shot. Brighton now taking shots from anywhere sensing another mistake.

Anyway, credit to the team for getting back on top.

Don't think his confidence is shot I just think he doesn't have the ability we all wished

 

[MondayHater]

It would be so easy. There are probably over a hundred keepers we could get for 10m or less that are an improvement.

Maybe just look to our bench and save cash? He cannot be worse? Even if he makes a mistake he’s at least the same

 

[Bullens Rd]

And from Romero's POV he isn't going to play most likely if he stays at United

He's not even getting in their squad. Got to question his ambition for staying there now. If we make the call he'll surely jump at the chance to join us. Pickford will cost us 15+ points this season.

I agree Tim was much better than Pickford is. Just thought it was funny/awkward

Howard had similar poor reach but was far more athletic and dominant than TRex could ever be.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Marco Silva must be defence coach for Brighton.
More goals in this for us if we play it right.

Obvs they will be thinking the same reickford

What did he say?

That Pickford is about as useful as a poopy flavored loolly pop.

 

[hktoffee]

Have to admit, Davies has been good first half.

At least he should have a day off today. Pickford’s day.

 

[MondayHater]

All he did wrong was probably assume that a floaty, bouncing ball would be an easy grab for a keeper.

Agreed. Can’t blame Keane. He was so close. He didn’t know that Pickford had the player in his fantasy football and wanted him to score

 

[AndyC]

I hate to say it but Michael Keane was the second line of defence there and should’ve dealt with that...

Behave, Pickford should have held that, it wasn't that difficult - his concentration levels are NIL !

 

[JohnTheBlue]

We have no one to replace him

We have Lossl and Virgina

 

[Sharpies volley]

Siggurdson and Iwobi are just not good enough at this level. They'd struggle to get in Brighton team and as for Pickford he's not good enough at playground level.

 

[Medallo]

If you are an Everton fan, you should be very happy with the team. They are pressing, they are coming out of the back playing, they are calm. Yes, there is one player there that has not come into the game at the same level as his teammates, but overall it is a good performance. Even James is a little off (but then again, James already had a couple of superb touches and passes), but still, the rest of the team are doing their job. By the way, all of this under tough weather conditions for technical players. I'm very impressed.

OK, this didn't age well. Still, Everton has to be very happy with the performance with the exception of a couple of players (and you know who they are). Having a player like James in there always gives you a chance no matter how he is playing. Two great headers and the team is playing with confidence. Even after the mistake by England's number 1 (really?), you know that the team is going to come back and score again. This is a winning team, one that knows how good they are. By the way guys, it is ColOmbia not Columbia. I hear that James and Mina are not fond of someone mispronouncing their country says another Colombian (moi).

 

[R.Reddington]

Big second half this.

 

[Zatara]

Wow. Didn't think Howard would call out Pickford like that. Glad he did, tho.

Prideful, he called him.
