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

[blue1948]

Over 70 years since I first was in Goodison and it was 60 years before that that the team has won its first seven competitive matches ,so no moans from me .Yes Mina made more saves than Pickford but hey this is a fantastic start ,top again ,what more can they do .

Thank you Colombia.

DCL crap today ...only scored 1 ?! lol

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Our first team is class and the good news is everyone is upping their game. Delph, Davies, Sigurdsson, Iwobi all came in and all did well imo. The same Brighton side deserved at least a point against an apparantly top 6 side last week. They deserved nothing against us. Hope Coleman and Richy recover for the derby.

We have at least 4 comedians voting for motm

hysterical lads

 

[Frenk]

Are people really choosing Pickles as MoM?

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Delighted with that just a shame our GD took a knock thanks to the clown in goal and pea heart Theo.

Onwards and upwards COYB!

Not James best game in terms of quality of touches, but still showed his class to win the match.

To all the new Everton fans, the team at the end was basically Everton last season... aka completely woeful. If you put a couple of these players next to James, Allan and Doucoure, they can play, but without them, they look really lost.

Anyways who cares - 4 of 4 and 7 of 7 is an amazing effort, and scoring easily for a change.

Carlo did not look happy at the end with that second goal conceded.

|I thought Iwobi did ok. He cosed down well and made a nuisance of himself. His control from long passes needs work though.

Iwobi improved as the game went on I'll grant you. I'm not one to say a player is bad but he's clearly not at the standard we are now expecting. Slowed down attacks and wasn't in the right position often enough.

We're going to have to out score Liverpool to have any chance based on how horrid Pickford is looking

Walcott also looked useless

No complaints with anyone else today

Felt both Siggy and Davies made the most of their chance today

 

[Bluestar]

Great win, but w3 caved reall6 badly in the second half. We couldnt get possession and didn’t seem to be trying to win the ball back.
were really missing Allan In those circumstances.

Also, at th3 rate we’re getting injuries, we’ll needc@ 35man squad.

 

[Chrismac]

Great result and another great response to conceding an equaliser. Mina immense, as was Doucoure.. its says something when you are looking at Hames and thinking he was wayward with his passing at times while still impacting the game in 75mins more than anyone we've had for years.
Davies done well when pushed to RB but we def need to reinforce that position. Delph another good performance, if he can keep his head down and stay off social then might do a job for us yet.
DCL hardly a sniff but bagged again
Gylfi, Keane, Digne decent
Iwobi aside from the assist was completely non existent and dont see why he gets minutes over Anthony as he's poor in both directions.
Walcott and Pickford nothing more to say as it would make me angry at a time when ive never felt so happy supporting us.

Need a bit of luck over International break then bring on the scum

Feeling like a 4-2 this one. Calling it now.

Reckon Coleman and Richarlison will both be fine for the Derby, based on nothing but positive thinking and I thought both looked like they weren’t too serious.

I love how it doesn’t matter who’s playing, or who gets injured in the 90, we steamroll teams anyway.
