Match Thread Everton 0-3 Brighton - Sat 17 Aug 2024 - Kick Off: 15:00

[Bkk Andy]

Started okay for 5-10 minutes but we often do.

I think it was 6 mins with Tarks lost his own feet in our box and I started swearing at the TV.

 

[Everton_Gary]

Boooooooooooo!

Dire second half, played by dire players, managed by a dire manager. Joke of a club

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Awful second half but the game changes on that penalty decision.

I didn't even see the penalty but please don't blame a penalty for that team selection and that team display.

That's just pathetic.

 

[blueblood]

Same season, same old story. Sucked all optimism out of the fanbase with the starting 11. Still no proper right back, quick and skilful new signings who have had a full pre season with us left on the bench.
At least Young will be suspended for the next game so Garner can come in at right back. He’ll start Doucoure again next week because it’s an away game against another team who we’ll let have all of the ball.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Hmm. We’ve started the season with Ashley Young as right back. How’s that gone?

I said okay, as in the players we've brought in are okay. Who wanted us to bring in 'Youngy' and who would continue to play him even if we brought in a talented RB. People can say what they want about Patterson, but there is no way he is any worse than Young or Coleman in their current guises. I know Patterson is currently injured but he was kept out of the side by that clown.

It's the spanner of a manager that's the problem.

When do we ever look ready to start a Premier League season, year after year.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

I told my wife I thought it’d be 0-3 so I’m feeling pretty good tbh

Hahaha yeeeaaaa is right the boys! Town anyone?

 

[Blue_in_london]

Not content with just losing, we go and lose more than any other club in the league today.

I didn't even see the penalty but please don't blame a penalty for that team selection and that team display.

That's just pathetic.

Score it and it's 1-1 and probably some decent pressure.

I actually thought DCL was clipped given the way Dunk was falling so surprised it was overturned.

Garner is out for a few weeks mate. It'll be Holgate at RB.

Every year we treat the first 5-10 games as pre season

 

[Sussex]

I am off the cut the lawn with some nail clippers. Going to put some fun back in my life.

 

[blue in oxford]

we all knew the team was wrong never had a chance

 

[miami]

Fuming at dyche and young. This is Groundhog Day with dyche. Starting the season on the back foot again.

I’ve never been a knee-jerk kind of poster, but I’ll make this my first one:

Feck off dyche you plum.

 

[Neiler]

it’s on dyche for being a stubborn bell

and the team just isn’t any good atall

it will be the same again sick of it

Actually thought we looked undercooked mate.

First goal was criminal you dont concede from a square ball. First rule of defending.

Second was brain fart from Idrissa.

Third we had downed tools and no one pressed.

Thought we looked undercooked in the second half, arrogant in a way and got found out.

The effort levels dropped second half 40%.
