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

[bluelife]

Dave in the Patterson thread the next few days...

Had an absolute shocker.

 

[Mashtray]

In Iceland at the moment lads, how we doing?

We not THAT Bad. We getting in good areas. Just not cutting out clean chances.

 

[atypicalusername]

Can't fault the effort from the team. We are live in this game. A goal for us changes everything here.

 

[windymiller]

Mitoma wasn't "premier league proven" so our scouts had no idea he existed.

Yep, we must be the only club who follow this absurd policy year after year (I know we signed Onana, btw) and not only follow it but get dimwitted fans on forums not only parroting it but claiming it is the right strategy. Drives me nuts.

 

[maccavennie]

Some absolutely dreadful performances there

Mykolenko absolutely abysmal
Patterson getting skinned when defending
Mcneil absolutely woeful
Iwobi poor
Davies terrible with the ball
Gueye looking leggy

For too many not at it, formation not working

Massive and I mean MASSIVE 45 minutes coming up here.

 

[blue to the bone]

Leave my Bill alone

Absolute tramp

 

[Bwana]

Just go to the pools.

 

[Ralphie Boy]

Will we get a price reduction on our season tickets when we are relegated?

 

[slipstream86]

Are you looking for gylfi to bring him back?

I'd rather we were just a club associated with being crap rather than a club associated with being crap, and pedos.

 

[jonnyg]

That 3rd goal against crystal palace might be one of the worst things to happen to us. Lampard keeps trying to set the team up like that every time he gets a breather, but we obviously don't have the players to do it.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

I think the set up was good tbh but Patterson got caught in no man’s land and let Mitoma in and he then did extremely well and finished

We held the best team in the league last time out. With a bit of luck, absolutely, but anyone hoping for a result against them needs that. We lose one of our only competent midfielders in the process of that win.

Why in God’s name would we change the setup back to a predominantly losing one in recent times, introducing a typically useless midfielder in the process?

He’s been here just about a year and he’s at the panic/guesswork stage already. There’s no logic behind anything he does and he expects us to swallow crap about not being clinical enough after every game.

 

[hktoffee]

Patterson and McNeil shouldn’t play together. You only need one on the flank. Mina on because he is a threat from set-pieces.

Pickford

Mina Coady Tarkowski

Coleman Doucouré Gana Iwobi Gray

Simms Calvert-Lewin

 

[ForeverEverton]

Booooooooooo

Lampard is taking us down.....

I hope I`m wrong but I don`t see anything to suggest we are scoring any and Brighton are going to score more....

Can`t believe an Everton manager has got to 18 games with 3 wins... Absolutely Negligent....

 

[dan7787]

Lampard can`t turn this around, he hasn`t the ability...

Didn’t take long for the Lampard haters to come out

 

[T LEAFE]

Seriously, what are the pros of keeping Lampard in charge?

He has managed a Championship team before
