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

[Dwight K Schrute]

Talks about experience.....most experienced players in Young and Gueye making an absolute show of themselves today, backline was a shambles and the only tactic seemed to be give it to Michael Keane to whack an angle ball to Harrison or Mcneil who are scared to head the ball.

Never seen a manager who pays so little attention to forward play. And I mean never.

 

[Stephen Gibson]

Correct.. the second the team was announced, Everyone on here predicted a loss.

It wasn't the loss that was predicted but the issues we knew were going to face with that lineup. Unfortunately those issues usually result in a defeat.

Well, that went well...Seriously though, perhaps that will concentrate their minds to bring in a competent right back, who is not geriatric, Young starting was one of the few decisions that Dyche did not get wrong today, the problem was, there was no viable alternative. We have to bring in a journeyman right back, on a free or a loan, or a young right back, who is capable of playing at this level on a small fee.

McNell was anonymous today, we must try Linstroem or Ndaiye in his place, the jury is out on Harrison, either play him or Ndaiye in Doucoure's position. Either way, let's see a end to the two slowest wingers in professional football playing for Everton every week.

The boy Iroegbunam showed promise, he has every chance of being a player, I like the fact that his first instinct is to move the ball forwards, but, like all young players, he lacks the knowledge and experience to know when it is just not an option.

Let's hope that Dyche takes a lesson from this and accepts that Doucoure is just too clumsy to play as a number 10 and that even with his lack of experience, O'Brein has to start ahead of Keane. He also must see that Coleman and Young are not viable options as right back.

It’s ok to feel bad. It’s ok to feel aggrieved. That was not good clearly.

But Jesus, stay calm. It’s one game.

 

[ValBlue]

It’s ok to feel bad. It’s ok to feel aggrieved. That was not good clearly.

But Jesus, stay calm. It’s one game.

One game turned into 14 without a win last season

Thanks every cloud an that, I left on the 3rd walking from parkend to bullens and thought they scored a 4th

I'm on my family hols in Antayla, sat with several blues and opposite a load of Skunks thanks Everton for that half arsed, lack lustre performance. If Ashley Young ever plays for Everton again I think I'll walk away until Dyche has gone. McNeil was awful, Harrison the best of the wingers, Tim must be gutted for who he signed for and the absolute crap he is surrounded with. But not to worry as Dyche will drop him as soon as Garner is fit. We gave up in the second half I hope Dyche has the guts to mention it.

Onana dominating this game for Villa already after being written off and chased out by some. Could us as fans be part of the problem?

 

[RomanReigns]

The club is a shambles

It is is ran atrociously poor and we have a dinosaur in charge with pre-historic tactics

 

[kev]

season before. 1-1 last year 95th minute equaliser for them.

Damn you! . . . I refuse to have a half empty glass!
OK try this one -

We won the league in 84-85 after losing our opening game by 4-1.
(Don't worry if we lose the next game too. We lost the second game 2-1 that season)

IT'S STILL ON LADS

Some of you are yes.

your right it’s one game mate

it’s the manner of the game that’s a disgrace and the players are not good enough

I’m struggling to comprehend that it is season 2024/25 and I’ve just walked out of Goodison and Michael Keane and Mason Holgate were actually on the pitch. In Everton shirts.

Onana scoring after 4mins to make things worse
