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

[Grogu the blue]

We’re a mess!!!

 

[eurosrees]

Had 2 weeks to prepare for that and it looked like they all spent it eating magic mushrooms

 

[Bluestar]

That was bad. We are a shadow of our former selves.

Fivecatvtff he e back was wrong at home. No excuses for that one.

DCL was back.

 

[ForeverEverton]

I just hope we dont go down, we are getting cut adrift of top half......

Why TF is the fat piella eating fraud still here

Gotta go, again anyone that disagrees is clearly, CLEARLY a Kopite of the highest order

Benitez trying to convince Dobbin to sign a new contract by bringing on Rondon.

Rafael's argument "we always have to be careful with young players, ..... they need to be consistent every game" . YA, Rondon, consistently bad

 

[BlueToff]

Gordon worked hard, buzzed for him to get his goal.

I don't care about other performances. It's all on the manager. He sets them up, he makes the subs (or doesn't make them), he chooses the tactics.

He's an awful, awful manager and if Newcastle and Burnley get their s*** together, which they look more like us than doing, then we will go down.

Every game we start of slow and come better in the second half fighting for a point. Only Rafffa to blame, he has to go now.

 

[Milkman]

We managed alright last season.

This argument needs to die. We were awful last season. We won away at empty stadiums playing the same type of football as what we are now. As soon as crowds came back, the results started to match the football.

The only bright spark today was Gordon.

 

[Cool_Blue]

We need about 6-7 in during the window.

The barcodes will outbid us for anyone half decent

We need about 6-7 in during the window.

New manager

 

[Efctrueblue]

Brighton have better players than us.

Maybe a couple! The difference is, they have a system, that they play every week, that the players buy into! A cohesive unit will always outperform a disjointed one like ours!

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

Sack.

I hate the 5 at the back system, it almost give each centre back free reign to think they can do what they like and not take responsibility for marking strikers on the assumption someone else will cover. Unfortunately that cost us the first goal and from there it just looked ropey

 

[BlueToff]

Gray getting doubled on with no threat to overlap is bad management

Every single thing Benitez has done since he's arrived has been bad management, mate.

Yes what kind of tactics is that?

Shows what a crap manager we have got.
