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

[EFCPaul]

We battered them 1st half. Crack your face, it wont hurt.

It's Brighton mate. Crack your skull and let the delusion out.

 

[Zezti]

Richy MOTM. Bit of magic which VAR cannot deny.

People are going to moan about it being a scrappy 3pts because of the last 10 mins, but we totally dominated the rest of the game. Was a very solid performance on the whole.

This is the reality.

We really need to work on our game management when we have the ball and we're trying to see it out.

 

[Zatara]

6pts off 5th like.

4pts off 6th.

We need something from West Ham...continue momentum.

 

[TennesseeBlue]

Happy with the 3 points. Felt for sure like Brighton would be awarded a cheap penalty after at least 4 critical decisions going against us, would have made me sick

Bernard clearly our no.10 today. Could we get three Bernards in the midfield?
He can only last 30 minutes in the premiership. He is really good for those 30 minutes.

 

[TheBigIguana]

We need to get better at diving. Difference between us and Leicester atm.

 

[BlueStevie35]

F€€k me someone has voted walcott again... theo are you a member of this forum or something?

He had a good game ffs

 

[BlueToff]

We won the game... had he made it too late you may be blaming him for the draw. Give the man a break

Not at all.

Happy with the win and I could definitely see the sense in the subs given what we had available.

There's no doubt we lost our shape once that change happened though.

That may have happened anyway but it seemed a bit needless to make it so soon. Walcott was still doing his defensive work and giving us an outlet (at least even as just a runner).

 

[BlueToff]

We need to get better at diving. Difference between us and Leicester atm.

Well, not really

 

[blue61]

3 points off Europe unbelievably.

 

[toffeejack]

watching on a cell phone here - thought Oliver was on the pitch and not in the booth

Nope, I thought even he wasn't crap enough not to give that pen, but he was. Whoever that pathetic excuse of a ref was, I hope we never see them again.

Stand by this... @mellowblue @[Deleted Member]

Some of you would do well to swerve being caught up in the Twitter style bed wetting towards the team sheet being released;



Carlo Ancelotti can't magic players out of his arse, he's been here 3 weeks and his assistant did pretty well as interim;



So yeah, change the tune.

Fantastic run were on results wise.

Next 4 games before Arsenal we have to get as many pts as possible.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Can’t believe how bad this league is, we’ve had a horrible, painful season but are six points off fifth cos everyone else is just as crap.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Well played for 70 min. Richarlson and Dominic, look a nightmare to play against. Impressed with Davies and Walcott... Back 4 was good for most part, until tinkering. Dominic man of the match for me, maybe it should be Richarlson with winning goal..

VAR is bordering corrupt.
