Match Thread Brighton & Hove Albion v Everton, Preview, Report and MotM Poll

How slow do we want to be?! You know how they’re going to play stop passing it round the back!

Brighton up for this, if we can ride it out for 25 mins I reckon we will get in the game then.
Today just shows the problems with having to play Richarlison up front, he isn’t an outlet and can’t the hold the ball up.

Look at them targeting Seamus time after time. Obvious weakness.

The first 10 minutes they didnt . Bad bad coaching!

 

[Amw79]

We have a horrible tendency to not quiet an away crowd down early on. Always seem to give em something to shout about and make it harder for ourselves.

 

[riddick]

Watch them bar a clean sheet here then concede 7 against the RS next home match

 

[stretford blue]

Say what you want, but Richarlison HAS to do a better job of holding the ball up. There's zero reason to play him the ball with his back to goal, it's immediately back the other way.

This side just doesn't have enough going forward IMO. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for clean sheets, but this isn't a good side going forward.

Ball not sticking up top having no real possession

 

[DanB90]

Booo hisss!!

 

[longers]

this has a smell of 0-0 to it

 

[Jimishorts]

Rapidly heading towards last on motd tonight.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Think we're really missing the pressing and tempo Sigurdsson gives of the ball,

+ When Gueye/Gomes get on the ball, they're deep - there's no obvious forward pass on. Can only go wide,

 

[Khalekan]

We are playing poorly

I thought we were playing Brighton.

I’ll get me coat

 

[tnc85]

This is poor

 

[Nymzee]

It's a nothing incident but how is Dunk pushing Rich not a foul but Mina pushing Andone was?

 

[Lob]

We are second best here so far. Brighton putting more effort in than the blues and are a yard faster than us. Need them to pick the pace up a bit and give them no time on the ball.

 

[deipnosophist]

Our passing does my head in sometimes
