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

[blue1948]

I voted for Mason as I thought he played well and he nearly scored -oops wrong end ! I cannot argue with Bernard winning it as he was great today and he might just have been hooked for the sake of the team ,by far his best position today .I put that down to Carlo doing his thing.

A win is a win, but it's still pretty turgid isn't it?

Played beltin' first half.

 

[Alan Whittle]

...suspect we can’t count on that £17m then. Never mind.

Pluses;He looked eager, he took up good attacking positions, his physicality was an asset.
Minuses; He looked off the pace (and may stay that way in terms of speed) and lacking match fitness.
To be fair he didn't get that long. If we ever play two up front (Hello Roy!) he may make a good foil for Ayew.

 

[Seathestars]

Delighted with the 3 points.
It should give Ancelotti the breathing space he needs to think about signings for the summer.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Nine points out of twelve for Don Carlo since he took over,just a defeat at city in the league so far,getting some sort of tune out of this shower and bringing a winning mentality back to our club,looking upwards now,europe looking possible now,up the Toffs.

 

[Dougie]

I'm so glad Bernie got the vote. He was terrific in the first half.

He always seems to get hooked in the second half. I think he should have stayed on as he was probably our best player.

Think today might of been coming back from injury. He did cover some ground and was a joy to watch today. But Carlo maybe being careful with him.

 

[Toffeelover]

In first half should have chances away. Second half we back pedalled some what. For me the subbings were not good, Carlo was intent on protecting the 1-0, ended up too many defenders on and giving the initiative to Brighton and we nearly came unstuck. Kean should have come onto replace Walcott and we should have pressed more to get a second by keeping our forwards going.

However 3 points keeps us ahead of the bottom pack just.

Have to disagree with you there fella. Not brilliant just ok. Deffo not turgid IMO

 

[KaiserEFC]

Thinking about it we ground out a result against a team we should really be beating when the odds went against us during the game. That ladies and gentleman is a modicum of progress

 

[Mickey]

If we had a midfield we stroll that game. This won't be new information to anybody.

Away from home I would agree- at home we should be winning games like this 2-0/3-0 if we are to really progress.

We are like jaffa cakes.

If we were relatively stable I’d agree with you but given the mild turmoil we’re currently in I think it’s a decent result. Hell of a long way to go though

He was shattered, great performance
