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

Yet he took us to 8th because he understood that the players weren't good enough to play Frank's open football style. Your sarcasm is part of the cultural disease of this club.

He couldn’t have gave less of a damn about managing this club, he had the chance to improve his rep buy pushing the club on when Europe was open and didn’t.

The only player who put any sort of shift in was Gray. Price and Simms probably not on long enough although Price looked ok. No other player deserves any credit. Each to a man hid tonight.

At least the crowd finally pointed the finger in the correct direction

Some may well disagree but I think the tactical switch hurt us tonight. The intelligent decision would have been stick with the 5 at the back IMO, and that's on the manager. The players didn't have the quality to deliver with the tactical switch, the desire to win balls and create more chances for us, or the bottle to stay in the game second half, and they must take responsibility too.

we shouldn’t of changed what worked

Same here - the thing is we take5 minutes to began attack going they take 10 seconds.......passing defending all over the place Dominic Calvert-Lewin is never fit - So added more physical presence when he came on .....

I don't even mind if we build up slowly if we can get the goals. We created some decent half chances in the first half as well. It's done now anyway just got upcoming games to concern ourselves with.

Lampard should just play, he can’t manage very well, but I bet he is still better than our midfielders.

It's a good job Frank gets us then!

Anyone got a stream for the 1984 cup final?

I think if you watched it now, Watford would win

 

[BlueStevie35]

Dust ourselves off nothing we can do about that result now. A win over our next league game is a must. Would love a cup win vs Utd as well but odds against us. COYB

Oh shut up with the sickening positivity

 

[Bob Latchford]

Maybe Vítor Pereira wasn’t such a bad shout?

Nope. I actually agree. Brighton aren't Man City but they play ball. We should've swollowed our pride and played the same system. Gotta be 5 at the back from now on

 

[Fatality]

Lurker on here. Had to sign up to express this the worst era I have seen usnin and I went through the 90s.

 

[HarpersLob86]

I'm sure your mate Bill "Good Times" Kenwright will have someone spectacular lined up.

I'll bell him later and have a word

It’s crazy watching teams like Bournemouth look awful but we make them look incredible. Not saying that about Brighton, but there needs to be a game plan. Pressing like crazy isn’t it
