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

[Sy-]

Can we get through the 2nd half without giving away a shot !? Think we need to .....

Tbh that still doesn't rule us out of conceeding

Bring on Joel!

 

[PhilM]

He's playing like he gives a sh**. He's always had natural ability, it's just that he's consistently shirked responsibility. Nice to see him getting into the new Everton mentality.

I've said it before, he like many others have had to up their game, and they've had a top coach and now top players beside them.

 

[BiggyRat]

It went through his almost closed legs at about 2 mph...

Roughly the same speed that the ball approached the guy with the gloves too. He also had less time to react than the sock puppet, but yes, he gets a share of it.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

We have Lossl and Virgina

Virginia was TERRIBLE on loan last season and Lossl is apparently so bad he couldn't get on the bench ahead of Virginia before today

Don Carlo should say:

“Lads ... last time EFC won four on the bounce at the start of the season was 1969. And we won the league.
Now go out there and batter them stupid”

Bloody hell, Yeovil are in non league?

They were in the championship something like 5 years ago

 

[MondayHater]

We have a really good squad and even a slightly above average keeper would give us a boost. Lossl will be less calamitous but I don't know that he is good.

Agree with that comment. Just wonder if we hold off till next summer could we get another keeper that is better than we can now. Last thing we need is another player that is average that we can’t get rid of.

Siggurdson and Iwobi are just not good enough at this level. They'd struggle to get in Brighton team and as for Pickford he's not good enough at playground level.

If you’re slating Sig today then you haven’t been watching.

 

[JohnTheBlue]

If we have 25m for Godfrey I'd swerve it and find a keeper before the window shuts

Oh and Pickford....your on the transfer list

I gotta think Lossl is having fitness issues. I don't know, Virginia just isn't ready so I don't get him being on the bench.

 

[when i score we riot]

sorry but no. Tom Davies gets so much stick On here if he scores an own goal that he shouldn’t we would all be on his back. It’s not just an error it’s an error he has makes week in week out. We cannot pretend that he is good enough. Southall and all other world class keepers would make mistakes we all do....but he is clearly not good enough as it all happens all the time

Yeah, it's hard to deny. But i'm coming at this from a pragmatic perspective - we are not gonna get a better keeper in before the window shuts and once dropped, getting back is hard for a keeper. Defo think he needs to hear it for his mistakes but subbing him off at half time now isn't much of a solution.

He was injured.

Maybe he’s fantastic in the sticks
