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

[NathDogg]

Frank got it wrong (again) changing the system and picking Tommy D, and the tactics leave a lot to be desired, but those players have a lot to answer for, yet again.

McNeil, gray, Davies, iwobi, Pickford, coady, Patterson, Myko all awful - dcl no service but awful movement, gana trying to do everything and cocking up.

Personal pride doesn’t seem to matter to them - doing the basics seems impossible for them - two passes against Everton and you’re in on goal.

If you’re still in a job frank, play the kids instead of McNeill, gray, iwobi, Davies and the rest of the usual suspects going forward - price did more in his cameo than the rest of them put together. How many more times do we let them let us down - they don’t give a [Poor language removed].

There was a point when we them goals where coming rapidly when I was wanting more just because a mental score would make it ludicrous to keep Lamps if it wasnt apparent.

Dont include Gray in this. What game was you watching. He's our only decent player

There’s always Gerrard ?

Also he seems to be our only threat atm.

Basic principles of attacking or defending aren't decided in the board room, though.

The players aren't good enough.

You are right but it can't always be the case

 

[Mr PEN86]

Think we may have to close our eyes and give Dyche the job. He'll play to the strengths of this lot which is defensively and catch teams out from setpieces to score. Frank is too naive. He believes in the likes of McNeil and Maupay too much. Dyche had McNeil warming the bench towards the end of his tenure because he knew the kid reached his peak. And people will draw comparisons to Almiron and how he's turned things around but you could tell there was a player there that just lacked end product. McNeil is so left-footed and bereft of confidence we may as well play with 10 men

Both, again, to me, look poor signings. Not what we needed at the time or at the current time. We have a habit of this. It’s gone on for too long.

I mean, you are kind of just proving my point with this. They have both had decent games and games where they have played well. They are developing
and shown they are capable of playing at this level but young players will have poor games and be [Poor language removed] sometimes, it how it is when they are learning. Fans forget the good games and just hold on to the bad.

I mean other posts talk about playing the kids ffs - that is what they are and this is what playing the kids looks like.

0-2 to Brighton, no bright start. More misery and another 50 pages of bed wetting in the relegation thread.

Well even I didn’t expect it to be that bad.

 

[Rob17896]

Just goes to show how good Carlo was.

And Moyes to be fair

 

[Ian]

Maybe Vítor Pereira wasn’t such a bad shout?

He wouldn't have been my choice but at least he's had a career as a manager where he has won trophies. Not in the top leagues (although a few teams in the Portuguese league would hammer us), but 8 trophies v Frank's 0 means I would have thought he was a better candidate than the one we went for.

 

[toffeeboy2021]

the players should refund the fans the cost of their ticket tonight. if they have any decency

 

[Bez2k2k]

I heard a man behind my apologising to his young son about bringing them to the game. That’s when you know it’s bad. Even like 6 year olds are already feeling the pain of supporting this awful, awful club.

The whole club stinks. It’s awful. Honestly the way I feel tonight if it was upto me this second I was say ‘fold the club, get rid of it’ rather that than the further embarrassment and eventual regulation.

 

[Rob17896]

5 wins and 7 draws and we should be OK.
