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

[ForeverEverton]

This is BY FAR the easiest game Brighton have had this season

 

[BlueToff]

I wouldn't say we've been the better side because you can't give up multiple massive chances but it hasn't been disastrous either. Gotta tighten up but we actually have done some decent things up the other end

You have a very posiitve way of looking at it

 

[TheBigIguana]

See shot on target but does it really matter that he rolled it straight to the keeper?

 

[DanB90]

Pep is far better than Ancelotti tbf.

But Ancelotti never had us playing this bad. Even as bad as it got last season, it wasn't this bad. It's been awful all season. Benitez is awful, he's an atrocious manager.

I don’t see how he can constantly set us up so negatively, and still have us shipping so many goals.

Defensive minded manager who doesn’t have a clue how to sort his defence out.

Brighton are P*ss*ng all over us

Absolutely humiliating

Quite glad I missed the game today..

He has months of rust to clean off of the gears. I question him as the penalty-taker, TBH. I mean, I get it, it's a great confidence-builder if he scores, but the downside risk if he flubs it is massive.

I totally agree, he probably should have not taken given he is just now getting back to match fitness. But if someone else had taken that penalty and not scored either then many will be questioning why DCL didn’t take it.

I can’t imagine a Premier League team with a back 5 of Kenny, Keane, Holgate, Godfrey and Coleman staying up.

I always try to judge the game by more than just the scoreline. The scoreline is a disaster.

 

[Melchizedek]

I've not had a bev since Boxing Day and I'm aiming to do a few months without.

Very much considering breaking that already.

Watching this mess will drive you to drink. Stay strong toff

 

[overkill]

Unfair to blame a youngster... He's come into an abysmal team. Saying that though, no youngster will flourish here for a while whilst they have rubbish around them...

Agree.

Yet all I ever read (albeit mainly on Facebook Everton pages ) is GiVe tHe yOunGSteRs a cHanCE

But to score, you shoot on target.

Nobody was on about 'working the keeper'.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Brighton fans taking the pi$$ out of Rafael and us now… grim

 

[Bob Latchford]

The formation is stinking the place out. Back and midfield on top of each other when defending and when they cut back we’ve no one near their runners.

That and the fact we’re crap

I am looking forward to seeing what Rafael blames it on this week
