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

[Toff33Blues99]

Not for 1st time under Lampard a disgraceful half of football. Paying them far to much respect. If this continues this must be his last game. His tactics are absolutely awful

 

[Cool_Blue]

Assume Simms is coming on soon? What on Earth would be the point of recalling him otherwise?

 

[mahermi1]

Think we need 2 up front and start chucking crosses in.....as long as they get in the box. Frustrating the amount of times a diagonal ball is played well and controlled only to look up and see no one in the box or making an effort to get in the box.
We could learn a thing or 2 about movement from Brighton

It looked like a practice game for them at times in the first half, embarrassing for us considering the amount of first team players they are resting.

 

[Lloydystark]

Press there defence, we are literally letting them play it out from the back with no pressure in our back yard. Embarrassing, it's Brighton not man city

 

[DavenhamBlue]

Starting to question whether I even like Football or not

Obviously not as your on here

 

[maccavennie]

Some actually believe we are a mid table team. I’m not sure what games they watch to come up with that. This team (if you call it that) wouldn’t look out of place in the championship.

That'll be a reality if we carry in like this as well mate

Everton v Brighton

Possession. 53% - 47%

Shots. 6 - 7

On target. 3 - 1

Corners. 5 - 1

You missed out one, quite important, stat there.

 

[PhilRegan]

Can’t win your home games you’re as good as down.

Can't win any games even worse

 

[Tony1985]

Not the best half, needs to change it now.

 

[ChurchFenton]

Patterson had a stinker for the goal but it must be hard when he's playing both fullback and wing. Where on earth is McNeil?

 

[navidson]

Blame Lampard all you want, but we just have some really poor players.

A number of which were bought during his time here

 

[Wat Tyler]

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

3 wins in 18, what were you expecting?

 

[RomanReigns]

get simms on frankiola

 

[Curtis]

Our team is awful. I don't look forward to watching them.

Fixed it for you

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Didn’t think it was as bad as most.

Not a huge amount in it, but again we have zero creativity, these players just aren’t good enough. Our biggest threat is our right back - that can’t be okay. Need much more from Mykolenko, Iwobi and Gray/McNeil.
