Player Ratings:

Pickford 2- Seem not able to cover post to post from long range missiles. Neither can cope with short range head on softies, palming either into goal or giving assist.

Coleman 8- Appreciate his value more when you see how Davies is so vulnerable at his position.

Keane 7- A bit tired after 6 continuous full game otherwise accomplished.

Mina 9- Important header reminding us of his 2 headers before half time which calmed the team going into the tunnel. His timely blocks helped keep classic Everton self implosion at bay.

Digne 8- Decent game.

Doucoure 8.5- Have to be less box to box as need to cover for slower compatriots Sig n Tom. Else when free to advance crafted assist of beauty.

Siggy 7- Played his heart out tracking back in first half. 2nd half was less visible.

Davies 6- Painfully awkward in first half, clueless and shied away from receiving passes in opponent's half. Beside passing back he was again gutless. 2nd half put in a couple of tackles and was more lively when we led by 2 goals. Vulnerable at right back.

James 9.5- One assist, Two goals, pace maker, goal creator, pass stringer, … just magnificent footballer.

Richarlison 8- Can see the injury affected him but faultless in commitment, which resulted in aggravating his injury. A warrior.

DCL 8- Can't seem to shake off scoring. Hope he keeps up with the addiction.

Delph 7.5- Revived player after his sent off and the long break. Seem to be more humble and wants to improve. Decent today.

Walcott 5- Under performed perhaps to less game time.

Carlos 9- Equalled Four wins feat since 1895. Not easy accomplishment if you are managing the Blues.

COYB, UTT. Derby's next.

V.harsh on Damo this. Looks like he has been watching Allan. Made some great tackles, broke up counters with some fouls, and his distribution was classy.

His block On Maupay at 3-1 Was crucial

Well thankfully the myth that is Potter and Brighton was put to bed.

I've been trying to say all along that we shouldn't be fearing teams like Brighton.
How many of their players would get into our team? Maybe a couple on our bench....that would be it. They are just a few injuries away from being relegation fodder imo. But they might hack their way to safety.
But we don't need to be fearing this level or type of team. Brighton??
So I agree totally with your comment.
Up The Toffees...........Le Proffessors Seagull squashing Toffees....
Bring on Klippity.........he's next for a Don Carlo hit.......

This short arms thing is a myth, Joey. I saw the pre-match player line up for the anthems in one of England's matches the other week, and I made a point
of checking it.

The tips of his fingers - allowing for his gloves -were about halfway between the top of his thighs and his knees.

I think the problem yesterday was that his gloves are too thick and he couldn't 'feel' the ball. The weather wouldn't have helped.

A long paragraph to just say he's got butter fingers, or could not catch a cold lol

Yeh this week I kept seeing people say it’ll be tough, they’re really good, this might be where we slip up etc.

They were absolutely crap.

GRAHAM POTTER P/C

Brighton at fault for all 4 goals
We were disappointed with the goals we have conceded and the decisions we made in the second half," said Potter.
He said Brighton contributed to their own downfall.


Lamptey taken off
Potter said he was taken off due to a slight problem with his hamstring.
It is more precautionary than anything.

Need to improve
Potter said he was disappointed with three points out of 12 so far.
He added that while the transfer window is open you are always looking.

Pattern of conceding from set-pieces?
It is always a concern when you concede goals," he said.
Potter said Brighton seems to get punished through set pieces and they need to improve that area

What to learn from this
At the moment it is a little too cheap or we are getting heavily punished - we need to do better there," said Potter.
Potter said Brighton's decision making needs to be better.
Ultimately if you give too many opportunities to the opposition it is going to be a difficult afternoon in the PL," he said.

He sounded like a salty nob after the game Potter. You'd think we were fortunate to even beat them based on his demeanour afterwards.
