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

[Leylo]

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.

Safe journey home mate

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.

Personnel will somewhat dictate the style of play, our options in midfield means we're criminally limited in possession.

Good to see Garner getting minutes - he is more than competent in this league. Need Iroegbunam back now.

 

[Rodebaard]

Great result but that was a really hard watch. Aside from the penalty, was the terrible shot by Beto the only other shot we took in the whole game?

 

[PhilM]

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.

It's still early days, nevertheless I was adamant the squad was not as poor as Dyche made them appear to be. Another 2 or 3 wins, and we'll be comfortable.

They're technically streets ahead of us, hopefully we'll start catching them up in the next year or two.

I thought we played ok in the first half. It was 50/50 and considering it was away to a decent side that's not bad. I was expecting a loss. Parking the bus was understandable.

Brighton can moan till the cows come home that was a stonewall penalty

 

[atrottel]

Didn't see if anyone mentioned it earlier, but the Athletic is reporting that Minteh was left out of the Brighton team because he was later for the pre-match meeting.

One more than Brighton?

 

[Nymzee]

Thought they were all over us second half but looking at the stats all they did is just shot from the halfway line. Both teams 1 on target, they had 4 blocked to our 0, and they had 11 off target. We had the higher xG. Deserved win then.

we had 3 shots

but plenty of heart

 

[Lawrence]

A really vital 3 points. Wolves losing puts the gloss on it. Breathe Evertonians breathe.

 

[bag a yoko]

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.

Tbf theyve havent beaten any team in the bottom half that has attempted a form of defense.
