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

[HeltSkelt]

Possibly but honestly some of these lads (90%) are championship quality at best

Dyche kept up worse than us year on year until he finally fell out with his new club owners and seemed to chuck in the towel. You wonder if he could rekindle a bit of the fire with us or if he is done. You'd hope he'd be capable of staying to bounce us back up if we did go down, whilst giving us a fighting chance this season.

How can we go to City and get a draw, then completely screw this game up…..

Cos we sat back with 10 men behind the ball at city. When the onus is on us to score we are clueless.

Watford mk2. Disgusting performance

 

[blue to the bone]

i think he will. come on we have the most patient board in world football

We don't. We have sacked more managers then anyone bar Watford

 

[Houghty19]

If kenwright is still in charge of the next manager choice it'll be Martinez being brought back

 

[BlueStevie35]

Really hope he comes back. He will tell iwobi and McNeil to their face listen you garbage and you don’t belong in the team.
We need a blunt manager that will play the team to its strengths

No sane blue wants a retired crook back at this club, he wasn’t even that arsed the first time round

There’s only one name it’s going to be and it’s been so so obvious since late November, Roberto Martinez. Penfold won’t be bothered about him being appointed because he’s stopped caring about anything on the pitch

 

[Noble Savage]

Good point. It's not the quality of the players. I'm not defending them - they're playing well below what most of them are capable of, but at the very least they need kicking up the a*se and made to do better.

They should have been focused on training for 6 weeks, not a nice little friendly tournament and some time in Bondi Beach.

Moyes got a tune out of some rather average players when he was here. He even inherited a dodgy West Ham side.
I'm not defending these cowards but a manager who can't motivate a team is worthless even if he is eloquent and has a few I.Q points.

 

[Bluedyhell]

Coady and Tarkowski rock solid again. Please posters stop telling me how good they are. Like the rest of the squad they are hopeless. Brighton have stopped playing and still look likely to put two more goals past us.

 

[Mozza1987]

Lampard had what like 6 weeks with the majority of the squad and nothing is different. What the hell does he do with them.

 

[lungo]

How we’ve been awful 90% of the time since Benitez came, tbh I couldn’t have done much worse.

Worse? You are joking. The guy had to put up with the Laurel and Hardy defense. Not that Tarkowski is much better. But still.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Maupay showing Brighton what they're missing here.

 

[Del-boy]

Brighton scoring four in an away game for the first time in their history. You couldn’t make it up. But you can, because it’s Everton.

 

[heatmeiser]

Imagine going 4 nil up and then bringing your quality first teamers on lol

Goodnight Frank, nice guy, shame it didn't work out.

 

[Dixieslaces]

I think it's beyond him to solve this...I think it's beyond any manager.
Yes

 

[matty1878]

We don't. We have sacked more managers then anyone bar Watford

mate he’s not sacked till friday night if that

can see BK now oh it’s ok frank kiss kiss
