Match Thread Everton v Brighton. Match Preview, Report and MotM Poll

[Brett Angell Delight]

No mention of zonal marking in any of the games we didn’t concede from corners. The issue is with s**t marking, lads.

 

[CatalanToffee]

I’m not worried. Will win this comfortably

I think the same.

 

[polish]

The amount of set piece goals we have given up this season is stunning. I would guess nearly 75% of goals allowed havent been from the run of play.

It was a really good set piece to be fair.

 

[Number_25]

Corners are an issue.

 

[Alan Whittle]

C'mon Blue, der sh*te Deeze. Really.

 

[Jarvick]

Sooooo when can Mina play then lads?

Next week when Zouma must sit vs. Chelsea no doubt.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

When is zonal marking meant to magically work again?

According to some we shouldn't get rid of zonal marking, and we have to 'keep working' at it until it works mate.

The crowd need to hound this ref you can tell he's out his depth and will crumble need to be all over Dunk and let him get sent off.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Only way we stop that is if Pickford steps off his line and goes for it. Not really a criticism so much as an indication of how badly we were undone there

Exactly. Zouma didn't do his job. If he was marking Dunk the whole time it wouldn't matter if he gets bullied like that.

 

[Abraders]

Digne runs the length of the entire pitch only to see we have nobody at all even near the box. Lol

 

[CatalanToffee]

Typical. Denied a pen then concede off a set piece

Always the same, what a pitty.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

I’d genuinely rather the opposition get a penalty than a set piece.

I’m not even joking either.

I guarantee you that we would have lost every game if every set piece the opposition got was a pen instead.

Yeah, they all are really good set pieces... Or at some point we need to stop giving up goals on set pieces. Saying they are really good doesnt help us concede less goals, and other teams seem to have figured out how to defend against good set pieces.
