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

[Johnnytotal]

Why am I deflated.... I've defended Pickford but I can't no more..... He ruined it.

His 1st choice position at the club must be over after today.

Well done blues special mention for Siggy thought he grafted today.

 

[Daz1878]

Great result from what was always going to be a tricky game. Good to have a bit of time now before the derby to (hopefully) get on top of a few of these injuries. COYB.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Iwobi was terrible in the first half after coming on, but played really well in the 2nd.

 

[Lloydystark]

Another big win... I just don’t like how as soon as we win people go straight to the player threads to say how sh*te they were

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Terry mina was excellent. Doucoure very good but tired towards end. Fantastic result again. Performance iffy. Pickford not all there mentally and physically. Needs to be replaced.

 

[Zatara]

Mina motm
2nd Doucoure
3rd James

Special mentions to Walcott and Pickford.

Disgraceful performances.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Great win
this is so much better than what we were enduring 4 months ago.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Virtually all the team played well, with some truly enjoyable football on display.

But have to give Motm to James, quite simply superb.

Hopefully some of the injuries can be healed over the break as we really look like we could do things this season.

 

[flibbyflob]

Sloppy 2nd half of the 2nd half but the game was won by then. We look like scoring bundles every game.

 

[efcjames]

Good result now sign a keeper

 

[Sharpattack]

Big Yezza deserves it, but it’s hard not to give it to James who was involved in all four goals. Both were sensational today

I agree. Giving it to a defender suggests we were under a lot more pressure than we actually were

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Colombia men of the match.

 

[Tiny Timmy]

James was class., iwobi and mina were outstanding that second half

 

[Lloydystark]

Doucoure was superb today.

Never seen a more uninterested and worse cameo than Theo's though.

He lost the ball at the end and Mina bailed him out big time but apart from that yeh decent

 

[Tipp blue]

James has to be MOTM. Was all over the place, involved in all the best team play. Excellent.
Yerry also another MOTM contender, doing what Pickford failed at doing today, defend the goal zone.

Useless stat of the day....Mina's goal was the first in English football scored and assisted by a Colombian.
