It’s not play them off the park it’s have a threat

We won 1-nil so assume it was more of a threat than Brighton mustered up!!

Can't believe people are even talking about it.

There are basketball players who would be happy with these ball skills!!

So what give him a license to stand on the halfway line and don’t track back this is the professional game with very small margins for error, not some decent amateur player who’s great going forward and doesn’t want to know coming back but he might leave us if we shout at him to track back.

Again we’re doing these weird absolutes that don’t have to exist. I promise there is a place between not contributing and playing as an auxiliary left back.

Actually not really, we scored because of one of the most bizarre hand balls I’ve ever seen

Only weird thing is you sound annoyed we’ve picked up 6 points from 9 since changing manager.

we will

Winning games is what matters at the moment. Why are people so obsessed with style?

Oh I don’t disagree on that I think the squads awful but I also don’t expect much more performance wise from this set of players it’s a very poor premier league squad and it shows.

Does my head in how teams can come to Goodison, go a goal up and waste time. Villa did it in the week.

However, we do it, and we get slated to bits. I’m happy with it. Bring back the old horrible Everton that nobody likes playing.

It's funny that you're talking about absolutes but also being overly critical of the manager's 3rd game in charge. We played a much better footballing side and unfortunately had to do it the ugly way, especially when we went down to 10.

The manager himself has said that we need to be better with the ball and play better stuff.

Then he should get on with it. Or he should be moved on at the end of the year. There are no other paths.

That's a weird absolute, mate.

I'm sure he is getting on with it, I've seen improvements already. Brighton are a tricky opponent though, it's hard for more seasoned possession teams to beat them at their own game. Never mind the leftovers of a Dyche team.

It’s not that hard of a grade though. Any amount of progress is fine. The other day was not that.

The first half was fine, kept the ball and passed it around , under the cosh second half but that was understandable given the circumstances. All a huge improvement on Dycheball.
