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

[Shibbywiggles]

That was boss from Gordon there, half hour gone, first bit of play I enjoyed

 

[Nymzee]

I honestly feel a lot of pity watching Coleman try play football.

 

[matty1878]

disgraceful fc. utter laughing stock

 

[Professor Toffee]

I'm so sick of us getting overrun in midfield. It's every match. And the manager could do something about it.

Well that's his job really

 

[BigMick]

Fear not: Gomes, Gbamin and Iwobi warming up on the touchline.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Watford 2020?

Walcotttttttt!

 

[Bedfordblue]

What does everyone see in Gordon? Honestly.

Have to say As much as I’d like him to be a success, every time he’s played I’ve found him to be underwhelming. The fact he is yet to score doesn’t bode well either.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Gordon is best so far. Fighting.

 

[Chegsy]

Thing is we all know he isn't getting sacked. I really wanted to get behind Benitez as I'm sure we all did.

It's obviously a terrible appointment which divides the fan base.

31 years as a blue, never been so fed up with them.

On top of that I don’t trust the board to replace him with the right man. They haven’t got a clue.

From top to bottom the club is a joke.

 

[bring the ghost on]

The 'even Pep would struggle with this team' shouts always ruin me.

Well yeah, but “even Ancelotti struggled with this team” is actually true, so it’s not exactly a stab in the dark to make that argument. The squad is just so, so poor.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Gordon and gray this season have been great for us.

Really happy to see Gordon come through and show why ancelotti brought him into the squad.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Ben Godfrey is a mess, 3 times he has mistimed a header, 4 times he has just kicked the ball to nobody.

In saying that, Benitez going 5 at the back has got the treatment it's deserved. Allan needs 3 in midfield to help him. In fact he could do with 5.

 

[hallamblue]

Oh well. Going to enjoy the rest of my day. Koff Everton

I'm so sick of us getting overrun in midfield. It's every match. And the manager could do something about it.

He'll change it in the 2nd half and claim he's a tactical genius.

 

[bluelife]

Not arsed, no doubt the inevitable meltdown occurs here, but we've been the better side by a mile, could be 4-1 up, Brighton had one moment of quality and we've had a moment of weakness defending a corner. Coleman has been quality at LB too

 

[heatmeiser]

is this the worst Everton team in the last 30 years?

I'm not sure I'd take Stuart Barlow and Paul Holmes over DCL and Coleman just yet.

But it's close.
