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

[Rook]

Say this every week but a shame weve not got a 2nd.

Think we will need another hear as at some point they will throw men forward.

would like to see a high line on occasion, they sneaking up 3 CBs and the keeper up constantly

 

[allen]

Demarai Gray fast becoming the 2021 Marcus Bent.

 

[Noble Savage]

And have been on coaches since 6.30, at the bloody ground since 12.30.

Gammon & Leek pies served at stadium boss though by all accounts.

Never had a Gammon and Leek pie . Sounds lush .

 

[TheBigIguana]

Let’s not throw this away now.

@Zatara - the combined 10 goals/assists contribution from Gray looks to be well in reach after three games of the season

Townsend isn’t looking too bad for it either!

Zat is going to want to sell Gray this week now

 

[Zeitgeist]

I'm most impressed with the intensity.

Hunting balls down, not been pretty in parts but the effort is there and that's all I've wanted

None of this gylfi pointing at other players to take the ball and strolling around

UTFT

Nice to have a player who can actually run at the defence with speed though and find the angles. Normally we would expect it to roll past the post. Actually I take that back, we wouldn’t have even got into that position in the first place.

indeed, and look at the support he had - DCL and Richy in position as options, in fact if he'd squared it to Richy instead of shot then that is a tap in

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

Forcing them into mistakes. When was the last time we had that mentality. Moyes ? But this feels different

 

[Cels]

Michael Keane has looked good today, keeping it simple and doing the basics well.

 

[Zatara]

Indeed. He did the same at Leverkusen then fell off.

Hopefully he doesnt just keep it up but steps up a level too

Cant with Keane...

 

[gianthogweed]

These will bring Wellbeck on in the 2nd half and have a go they look a bit clueless
Everton just need to stay focused and pick them off

*Cliche alert

Sounds like what happens to you when you get older!

 

[Lob]

keeper should have saved grays shot tbf - v poor. it was nearly a pea roller.

Looked a quality goal to me mate, from the pass from Allan to the running with close control and perfectly aimed shot to the right corner.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Far too much gammon in the world these days without it making its way into pies too.

He is playing against 3 of the seven dwarfs though
