Match Thread Brighton HA v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll.

[billybeeru]

We’ve now taken 2 points from the last 12 available, which included games against Burnley (16th), Crystal Palace (13th), and Brighton (15th).

If you’re wondering how you throw away a chance at Europe... that’s how.

As poor a watch it was and a sense that we've probably blew any chance of top 4/5/6 we're limping to the finish line with a broken squad. Some clubs and hypo German managers would be very melodramatic. The world owes some clubs a favour.

One positive is that we are probably safe from relegation.

 

[gianthogweed]

Was anyone else expecting anything other than that tonight just take the point and move on

 

[RomanReigns]

"But we are six points off fifth with a game in hand so have something to play for between now and the end of the season so it's important we do that."

someone should tell seamus to check our goal difference compared to the teams in the top 6

 

[longers]

How you gonna be disappointed with not winning when you barely tried to attack

 

[Tin-Tin]

How long before Ancelotti's 'come back with a different mentality' shouts.

Looking on the positive side we kept a clean sheet!!

MoM for me was Seamus, who was our main attacking threat and also gave a solid defensive display. James outstanding and close to scoring, Mina played well until injured, Godfrey and Holgate had a good game, Olsen looked shaky at times, Richie worked hard but was all alone.

ffs....take 5 first teamers and another 5 regulars out of any team in the prem (barring Man City) and you'd do well to win any game at all. I don't know what people expected tonight but to be fuming at that makes me think either you haven't watched everton play or you don't understand football at all. That was pretty much what I expected given the available options. We aren't good enough with a fully fit squad, so with 10 players missing and many available players in unfavoured roles we can't be to peed off imo.

The way I see Everton lately is us not being team orientated. We are a bunch of individuals that need time to find a pass. No fluidity at all. Like a bunch of strangers playing together

 

[bazzer]

Good point that with the players out. Real backs against the wall spirit.

wake up and smell the coffee. it's brighton not man city.

 

[WalterBecker]

It's a shame that we've only got seven more games to go.

2 games unbeaten glass half full

 

[blueconverse]

Can we just relegated next season. I would rather be Norwich than finish 10-8th till the end of time.

 

[Ring master]

i will take that point ,thought we would win before game, but then you se even more out when team is named, yet dont play well, but get a point

I remember a form crash at the end of last season as well, also under a certain CA....
