Match Thread Brighton 0-1 Everton. Sat January 25th. 3pm

[Verbal Kint]

It's two wins and a loss. As I said the football under Dyche was awful. Moyes is a step up but he's not in the same league as say Carlo.

In the interest of fairness and equality...

Let's be honest the football today was absolutely dreadful.. Effort outstanding and a definite change in pressing higher up the pitch but as an attacking entity we are by far the worst side in the league. Moyes will see that and try to add quality in the summer.

What a win.

Those are the games you really build a togetherness and team spirit. Backs to the wall, hanging on with 10 men at the end and clawing a 1-0 win. And even all being together at the end when it kicked off. Brilliant stuff.

Onwards.

As for MOTM I thought Gana was good, I thought O Brien was excellent for his 2nd start and still out of position, but Branthwaite was different gravy. Flawless

 

[Iana]

Your luck is in today the super blues are back.
Enjoy are victory.

I bow to your Nostradamus prediction…

 

[heatmeiser]

Really enjoyed that today.

Going to celebrate with a handful of baklava and then an invigorating session on the Queening stool later

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Never any doubt now competent manager is in charge.

NDIAYE, what a player.

Guaye was excellent again. Man of of the match performance, like last week...

However O'Brien for me, dealt with a proper winger today, one of the leagues best.

Throw enough sh it at the wall, it is bound to stick sooner or later

 

[Cmonefcsortitout!]

Very disciplined performance. Considering how much defending we did, Brighton didn’t create that many good chances. Great result

 

[ValBlue]

Very disciplined performance. Considering how much defending we did, Brighton didn’t create that many good chances. Great result

We played with ten men for the last 15 minutes as well!

It was, but tactically we nullified a very much in form team who have been scoring pretty freely.
Much as I don’t like to admit it, it was very much a ‘dirty’ win today.
They didn’t even really look threatening in all honesty despite us being under the cosh so much in the 2nd half.

 

[JohnRoss23]

How did we play?

Not great. Did well enough when it mattered most though.

 

[GrandOldSte117]

Was nice seeing Moyesy in a group hug at the end

 

[T LEAFE]

Stuck at Brighton train station but waiting doesn't seem quite as bad after 3 points. I wonder what Maupay is going to put on his Twitter tonight.

Getting away from that ground is a nightmare

 

[irishtony1878]

how does gueye perform like that in the best league in the world at the age of 35

surely his legs would be gone by now

They have gone, that's why he wears the trackie bottoms, he's using those legs from Wallace and Grommit's The wrong Trousers

 

[Old Blue 2]

Spurs beat Leicester tomorrow, and that would cap a perfect week-end.

Spurs are not going down, so that's the result we want...
