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

[Mikey O]

Got the draw we we playing for the entire match.

There were eleven men in Blue shirts that were playing for the win - save for a fluke og then they'd have won

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Earlier changes and we win that.

Dyche stubbornness again.

Fluke draw; Young was just unlucky.

Shows progress, I suppose, that people are crying over having to settle for two wins and a draw this week.

 

[AirMo]

Who were Brighton missing who would be key players . The left back and ?

March, Estupinian, Welbeck, Enciso, Lamptey are the main ones I think

 

[lungo]

Went from playing more on the deck on the first half to just hoofing long balls in the second. Felt like that was a huge difference from how the first half went

The first half wasnt great but in the second Everton hit ground zero of football. Some people moaned about Big Sams style of football ....

 

[TommyDavo]

Poor. If you don’t have the ball it’s difficult to score. Terrible set up, never got out of our own half

 

[Victus]

We lost that game last season 4-1 and it was genuinely one of the most angry I have been as a fan of this club. It's a shame we didn't hold on but it's not a bad result at all when the dust settles a bit. I said before the match without Onana that I would take a point now if offered and that's what we got.

 

[DanB90]

We done well to shut them out for so long, however, playing like that and inviting them to dominate like that always increases the likelihood of a mad deflection or something like that happening.

Go toe to toe with them though and they probably hit us for 6, so swings and roundabouts.

Feel like we could’ve done with changes sooner, with a few visibly goosed from about 50 minutes onwards.

All in all, a point against these isn’t a bad result, even if it feels like a loss after leading for so long.

 

[Tel001]

Still not sure what Harrison is?

I am , but the filter won’t allow me to write it on here …

I’ve pm’d you the answer

 

[captainvindaloo]

….can’t complain about the result but for all their possession we managed to stifle them. Back four coped well, I’ll go for Mykolenko as MOM as much for his recent performances as his goal today.

Agreed!
Plus, Myko was defo MOM for me. He's been in my top three picks in the majority of games this season so far.

 

[ForestBlue]

3 games in less than a week and then no subs until the end

Subbed DCL after we won a corner but before it was taken

.. Dyche has some weird habits.

 

[Mikey O]

The fluke goal came from a very tired player so yes fresh legs were needed earlier and that is on the manager.

That's absolute rubbish, Mitoma's cross was nothing and he got lucky.

Clearly you have an agenda about subs and if you want to look through that lens then crack on

 

[Toffeelover]

Earlier changes and we win that.

Dyche stubbornness again.

Not stubborness, ineptitude.

 

[Old Blue 2]

3rd from bottom Luton on 5 points are going to get smashed tomorrow (I regret to say hopefully...). When they do, we will have moved a further point towards safety...

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Woulda shoulda coulda, but deserved result at the end of it. Lucky on the offsides and we don’t crest too much. I’d have taken a point before the Match honestly when I saw Onana wasn’t available
