Match Thread Brentford v Everton - Preview, Match Report and 3-day MotM Poll

[Weebarra]

So much better today. I was really worried after they equalised but, aside from a few minutes after they scored and that crazy scramble after we went 2-1 up, we were actually very composed and comfortable. Nice to have a few candidates for MotM, I gave it to Garner but it could easily have been Doucoure or Branthwaite.

Yep made up, a decent Saturday night for a change.

It was a toss up between Branthwaite and Doucoure for MoM, but I had to go for Doucore because he scored and was unlucky not to get a brace.

A fighting performance from the whole team at last. A well deserved win. COYB

….amazing how often there’s fume at team selection and we then get a result.

Cant be that often we win about 5 a season

Slightly surprised Onana got so few votes. He made the odd mistakes but in general I thought he was composed in the ball. One I’d his best performances of the season imo. I voted Tarky anyway. Him and Branthwaite, very good.

It appears Onana has better games when we have the ball more which is why he would excel in a possession based side...

No Toney ....No party

We'll batter these 2-1.

One of the very few with a little faith

Some really bad doom mongering posts early in this thread.

Referee was good, but it was Michael Oliver.

Even showed a good touch for us

 

[Alan Whittle]

On the train coming back from Palace. Might have had a drink, but wtff is this Everton winning business? Eh?

 

[Ufotone]

Enjoyed that, have to say it makes a change.

Some of our shots actually went in.

Well played lads!

 

[PhilM]

What a massive result and performance

Like with Brighton last year, it shows that these players can actually play football, and more than that to a decent standard.

The issue is that it simply hasn’t happened enough. Win the next two home games, and I think things will steady themselves on and off the pitch.
