Match Thread Brighton & H Albion vs Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[PhilRegan]

Can't invite them too much either second half. You know they will be looking for an early goal

 

[banno]

Our counters have been spot on. Players supporting each other. No players hiding and in it together. Oh! and no Michael Keane

 

[Cjplennon]

We've scored 3 goals in the first half... Away!?

Unbelievable, absolutely brilliant so far. Why do I still feel so nervous and stressed....COYB!

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

It’s about concentration and mentality now. No silly bookings and even if they score one, we just have to keep doing what we have been and not panic. This could be a massive 45 minutes.

And not start sitting too deep.

 

[good times bad times]

Wonderful display of counter attacking football at its best from us.

Just don't blow this brilliant opportunity now Everton to put some distance between us and the others.

Just hope we managed to finish with 11 on the pitch, but the way this fussy ref is dishing out cards there is a distinct possibility we won't.

 

[Bristol Blue]

Worried we’re gonna get a man sent off in 2nd half

 

[Bebeto]

That is the best half of football I've seen from us in years.

Cant fault any of them.

Mina and Patterson coming back in have been exceptional.

No idea why they haven't been playing.

Well we know why Mina wasn't playing...Coleman has been great for us before his injury. Patterson still has some lapses of concentration that can prove very costly...but going forward he has been great.

So the ref books DCL for nothing and then denies us a free kick by blowing for half time. Feel quite horribly that this clown could get Brighton back into this. Btw that should have been 4 hit Dunk on the leg and off the line. We have been fantastic in this half. Patterson is settling down now and playing a lot better. Cmon u blues.

 

[glory_daze]

Not counting my winnings yet but I took the odds of 17/2 with bet Victor on Saturday for us to win this game.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Who are you, and what have you done with Everton?

 

[Nosidoog]

I stopped myself from posting the current table but hopefully you won't have jinxed us

Sorry, don’t really hold with the jinx thinking. Life is too short. Gotta enjoy the moment rather than worrying about whether enjoying it will somehow make it all go pear-shaped.

 

[Rugby Toffee]

GOSH!

 

[Zatara]

Next goal wins ?

 

[PhilM]

I’d honestly put Onana on for Gueye. Just don’t need to take the risk.

It's a risky one though because Gana has really (REALLY!) helped break up the play and get us motoring. Our midfield have been imperious!

 

[sladen90]

That second goal was simply beautiful.
