Match Thread Everton v Brighton - Preview, Match Report and MotM poll

[Bluestar]

Brighton have better players than us.

This is true.

 

[atypicalusername]

Rafael looks a man who's job is on the chopping block.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Keane, Holgate, Benitez, Iwobi, Davies, Tosun, Rondon, OUT; F OFF...

 

[Tony101]

If playing 10 behind the ball to finish 10th on the back of 1-0 scrappy wins is the definition of "alright" then fair enough.

Alladyce was booted for less.

Least we wasn’t in a relegation battle. Like we are this season.

 

[DanB90]

5 at the back at home to Brighton. Conceded 3 goals.

Sack.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

...............I don’t know what to say to any of you.

Just tell us you're personally going to deliver a few of those actual footballers you have in your club to us and you're going to take Benitez somewhere far, far away on the return journey.

 

[wellillwill]

I don't think I could have played worse than Keane managed today. The boy has had a very heavy Xmas.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Tbh i think, it's clearly evident from the game few extremely poor players are the real cause for our dismal performances, 3-4 new signings and we will be way better.

I agree but no one will give Benitez the time to do anything constructive. I don't know who else will. Rooney? Come on..

 

[billyblue80]

OUT! How many times can we set up ultra defensively concede weak as piss goals then stage a usually pointless come back? The manager will never be a success here. Gordon the only one to take any credit today the rest a shambles. And that's after seventeen days training? Where was the drilled formation, defending and patterns of play? Nowhere we looked utterly shambolic!

 

[UltraVires]

That was awful and let’s be honest, we didn’t show any sort of consistent pattern of play or threat. I am not sure what RB wants us to do or how to operate and I haven’t all season. I gave him a slight benefit of the doubt but he’s now had 2 weeks to work with the players as well as half a season and I cannot see any defined way of playing from us. It is different one week to the next which is the biggest worry that RB doesn’t know how to set us up

 

[rochdaleblue]

When you put your own personal vandettas above the needs of the team, you know it is time to go. We’ve seen James and Digne virtually certain to go. Who next? Richarlison or DCL? The formation and the team didn’t give us the best chance of winning that game and that is totally unacceptable.

 

[Frenk]

Vitaliy’s bird is saying “we get paid how much by these”?

 

[Melchizedek]

I started to be upset, but then I remembered DBB just emailed me the other day saying we're going to be better during the second half of the season. So no worries all.

 

[R.Reddington]

Anyone honestly surprised by that? I fully expected a Brighton win.

 

[billyblue80]

I agree but no one will give Benitez the time to do anything constructive. I don't know who else will. Rooney? Come on..

Sorry don't buy it a good manager gets more out of this squad despite the limitations
