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

[bullybeef]

McNeil off, Maupay on put him off DC-L and move Iwobi to one of the wings

Maupay is turd mate

I’d revert to 352 second half and have Simms upfront with Calvert Lewin.

Can’t be worse then that

Lampard shouldn’t have changed the formation imo he’s put himself on the block now.

He did that with his selection for the Carabeo Cup at Bournemouth, bet the house on winning the league match a few days later. We lost that, then lost at home to Wolves, and now tonight? Lose this tonight and he must be done.

Sub Lampard

Beating Brighton 3-1 on shots on target. That surprises me.

The Southampton game is the half way point of the season, to be sat on 3 wins tell you we are going this season... no 2 ways about it.

14th Jan. 10 days. If we lose this we better get a manager who can keep us up.

 

[Zeitgeist]

So tired of our lack of ability to produce shots an the opposition box, the main aim of the game

 

[Gordon Lee's Cushion]

While it’s 0-1 we have a chance and one goal for us changes the game.

 

[Everton_Gary]

People thinking getting rid of Lampard will solve it all and save us are delusional. This squad is not good enough no matter the manager, would struggle in the championship with these players and their effort.

All the desire, battle and effort from city in the bin - too many passengers in the side with McNeil and Davies invisible.

Poor mistake from Patterson for the goal, but a young defender may make them kind of mistakes - he’s getting no help from his wingman either.

Frank shouldn’t have changed the shape from city.

Crowd are flat but I can’t blame them - just frustration all round.

Why we continually go short to the cbs on a goal kick now that Dominic Calvert-Lewin is back in the side is beyond me, especially as we supposedly have Pickford great kicking?!! Baffling.
We need to get someone near him for the bits and pieces and bypass the crap midfield.

Massive 45 mins to come - zero confidence in these players tbh. They don’t want it enough.

What nonsense. It's a long and terminal decline. The next 45 minutes are inconsequential because will will never do anything but struggle under this idiot.

This has to be the end for Lampard, to think the board wasted the 6 week break and 2 home games v Wolves and Brighton. I`d give up the City point for 3 in one of the others......

I think people like you support Frank more than Everton.... how is a manager with 3 wins in soon to be 18 games still have a fanatical following like you?

Because Frank has been playing without a striker all season, lost the best attacking player in Richy and left with a bunch of average attackers. Frank sorted the defence and improved midfield. If we buy a top striker and another attacking midfielder we’ll be fine. We can’t keep changing managers.

 

[Joey66]

Our passing forwards is pathetic end of ....

 

[Mark_EFC]

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

As a credit I’m sure

 

[Blue_in_london]

Can't believe how sluggish we are at basics like getting rid in our own area. There's no urgency. They think have all the time in the world. Could see their goal coming 10 mins before it happened. And as for Pattersons defending for their goal...
