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

Darest I say it but would have preferred Maupay upfront with DCL. Ho would have offered a little more.

It just seems that Sean [Poor language removed] picks his team on salaries earned and not skills offered.

If he had the balls to give youth some game time over the last two seasons they either may be ready or defo know they are not and got rid.

He is a dinosaur that will see us in the championship.

Think Brighton will have some big scores going both ways if they play like this all season.

They had very little control in the midfield, coughed up chances at the back repeatedly to the press & left acres of real estate to play into on the flanks.

Lucky for them we can’t take advantage of any of those things & cock up enough so you don’t even need to create against us to score.

Settle in for the ride folks. It's going to be a painful, very painful season. Not without hope though.

 

[DRINGOSTAR]

Do any of our players look bothered ? McNeil misses and it’s just shrugged off ! Myko just gets done for the goal and it’s just oh well ! Sending off oh that’s disappointing ! Penalty shouts it’s a “are you gonnna give it no ?” Full time and it’s slopy shoulders walking off ! No fire and anger at all !

Agree mate - they’ve got some good players up front but they will give chances away at the back, and they didn’t really do much to cause the self inflicted suicide stuff we did to gift them their goals, and our starting 11 totally played into their hands.

Who knows what we would been like with lindstrom and ndiaye on from the start in attack and O’Brien on instead of the walking mistake Keane.

Must have the highest number of offsides of any team in the league over the last couple of years

Many of them are pretty school yard stuff too. It's embarrassing.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

I'm just gonna say I've seen that non penalty on Mykolenko given against us so we should have had at least one pen.

You need to be in the "sky six", to get them.

The problem is Dyche doesnt learn anything before.
Keane is shxt and Douc. cant bring any creative to the team. Young should not play any first team. Even if you lose, you should play the new comings to ready for next match. The post match interview make us more angry on his tactics
and team selction. Even a losing game, there are plenty things that the team can do.

Dyche is incredibly rigid in his views on football, and in essence plays the 'safe' hand (from his perspective), regardless of whether it's the likely right call.

He picks experience over ability, and he is reluctant to use youth players at all; once he's picked his XI, he will stick with it regardless of the performance.

That's why we see late subs and, in the mainstay, ones that are almost entirely predictable. His selection yesterday was poor with the other options available.

For me yesterday, we didn't start too badly, however their goals were far too easily conceded, and the lack of fight or pressure was of great concern.

Once the first went in, we were doomed because they gave up - lack of pressing, composure and downright fight to get a result.

Dyche yakking on MOTD about the penalty decision. I think it was the right decision, but regardless, if that's all he can go on about and not the performance then he's got no clue.

Maupay offering a little more. Gosh we really are showing the desperation at this club when we think Maupay can offer any sort of solution.

I thought playing cards was a strange offering in my membership pack....now ive realised it was a well thought out offering to allow us to play cards rather than watching the on pitch offerings. They should have handed them out years ago.

 

[Jokerdan]

Having just looked back at our seasonal results over the past 50 years the one common feature is how poorly we start off each campaign.

I'm grasping at straws, I know

 

[daza_1973]

Woke up this morning - after 5 seconds yesterday's nightmare flashed back into focus.
Wouldn't it be nice for a change to have a season that doesn't pan out like a footballing version of Jacob's Ladder
Or am I asking too much?

 

[Bez2k2k]

What? The one where the fella volleys the ball away? Get a grip.

 

[Walter Ego]

No motm poll?

We probably would of missed it anyway
