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

[Bluebonic]

Spark them out and we'll hopefully be 10 points clear of Wolves who play Villa.

10 points clear, far superior goal difference and a game in hand, albeit against Liverpool.

I'd say we'd be three wins shy of being safe then. Obviously not losing to Wolves away and Ipswich home would be very crucial to our chances of safety. Minimum 4 points there.

I’m not even that fussed about the rs to be honest. I think with these levels of commitment, we can reasonably hope for a draw, but that obviously depends on us not getting any more injuries and (hopefully) getting a few new players in.

Yeah like Brighton's who threw his dummy out the pram at the end.

Think I'm fine with Moyes for now mate.

I find the stuff about Moyes odd. Like I think there are some older fans who probably don't like how left, but also some newer fans who I'm not sure we're really watching us in the early 2000s.

But he took a team who were similarly bad to this one, and got them to 7th in the league in his first season (with 60 odd points) and 4th in his 3rd.

If you're being objective about it, he knows what's needed to get us into the top half, quite quickly.

He's done the same with West Ham.

You don't have to like the guy, but there does have to be an acknowledgwment of what he is good at.

 

[Blackwell Livermore]

Ilm pleased we're getting safe.

Apparently Ilm not though because I still recognise that Dyche deserved credit for saving us when we were in a worse situation than Moyes found us in.

Are those your pronouns?

Still not forgiven Rooney for not paying his tab....fair do's

I hate spending Neggy vibes after a win but Doucoure la.

Atrocious.

Done their defenses job for them by breaking down every attack.

I thoroughly enjoyed that backs against the wall performance. Some cracking gamesmanship and a tough battle. Stressful but very pleasing to see the togetherness. A bit of n breathing space now

We had a great break in the second half and he tripped over his laces.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: when we are playing front foot, high pressing and in your face football, he's a great option. But when we're sitting in and trying to counter we need someone who has better quality on the ball, and the Duke ain't that

This is f everton screw the resy of you cry i want see hard work and desire. This is the start to get above these clowns brighton bournemoith fulham.

Said the exact same thing about Beto to my mate before.

He worries me because of his complete inability to get hold of the ball.

We're probably going have to look at different way of playing against Leicester because it's futile playing it with Beto up top and Doucoure 10.

Yep... Ndiaye done all the hard work laid it off to Duke and he fell over.

Ndiaye's reaction said it all.

Doucoure does a lot of running and he's important when we're pressing from the front but we need so much more from a no10.

 

[IV(AC)]

Why do we have to shoe horn these two into any team we pick? Skiliman at 10 has been obvious for at least a month now. There have got to be other options at CF and left wing, surely?

 

[brian labone]

One thing I would like to ask those moaning Brighton fans, who walked away with 3 points?
