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

[ToffeeTim]

This is a poor Brighton side?

Miles ahead of us these

They've not been anything special

We are beating ourselves through inept attacking play.

 

[Vintage]

I’m no Keane fan but he hasn’t been bad.

Been Everton's best defender so far. His balls out to the wings are good. Pitty we don't have any wingers with pace to take advantage of the balls out to them

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Poor really that after that recruitment over the summer only Tim is deemed able to start on the opening day.

Nob heads needed to bring some pace in. And anyone other than soft arse Doucoure.

 

[Hellerad]

Just swapping in Ndaiye for Doucs would turn this completely around.

 

[matty1878]

ok make the changes we can all see that are needed dyche

earn your cash!

 

[BlueStevie35]

Get dåkore out and ndiaye on. Also get Lindstrøm on for Harrison or mcneil.
Irogbonnam has been very good

*Doucoure

 

[Smurph]

Brighton are very very poor, surprisingly so. Any team with a decent output in the final third will murder them with the possession they've given us. N'diaye has looked by far the most likely in pre-season and needs to come on for Doucs or McNeil. But we all know this.

Also Tim is class.

 

[HTCHERO]

I forgot that Dyche is one of the worst managers when it comes to subs

 

[ForeverEverton]

If we had even two competent forwards on the pitch here we'd be comfortably winning this FFS

Rinse and repeat of last season...

 

[UpperLeftBlue]

It's the same old from Dyche and his favorites here. Press hard and create for 20 mins, fail to score said chances, gift the first opportunity to the oppsition and then down tools. Iroegbunam and Harrison are the only bright spots for me.

->ndiaye and Lindstrom
<-doucore and McNeil

 

[JohnJq]

Bright spot of the first half definitely the performance of Tim. Looks like the real deal on that showing even though it's early days.

I think Gama and Tim were our best players that half. They work well together

 

[Nyhus]

Just swapping in Ndaiye for Doucs would turn this completely around.

I really hope that the plan.

 

[matty1878]

Poor really that after that recruitment over the summer only Tim is deemed able to start on the opening day.

dyche is blind to pace

 

[Victus]

He had a couple of injuries in the last few months and played the Euros, so not really a surprise. Which does beg the question, why did we not buy a fullback but instead buy another centre back, to ignore that new centre back and play Michael Keane?

Keane hasn't done much wrong really.

 

[Del-boy]

At least Ipswich lost and Southampton are losing.
