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

[MACCA75]

All week to work on set pieces and we leave the 6ft 7 guy in about six yards of space.

 

[ProZ]

Get Dunc in to crack some [Poor language removed] heads before we go down. These absolute dossers cant be trained, they need threatening

 

[Lob]

As bad as anything i have seen from us this season and entirely down to the Manager. Left backs playing at right back, right backs playing at left back and our best left back sat on the bench because of really poor stubborn management. Outplayed and outclassed everywhere on the pitch and we look an absolute shambles. Welcome to 2022 blues were the only question is will this awful Manager make it till the end of January. God i hope not.

What about set pieces?

I'm not a set piece expert but my guess is putting to 5'8 players at the near post is not something you should do

 

[ForeverEverton]

Absolutely Embarassing, humiliating.

Don`t think that will happen with RB in charge... he didn`t need to go 5 at the back today! He has other options, remember...

BRIGHTON HAVE NEVER WON AT GP IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE...

As always, lets see how it pans out, we didn`t expect to get anything against Chelsea, I`m not sure I`m comfortable having a manager that wants the opposition to have the ball and attacking us rather than vice versa.

IF we lose though... Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Its actually they have never won ever at GP IN THEIR HISTORY

Rafael. Gotta put your pride aside and switch this system ASAP. 4 at the back with Digne on and get another bod in midfield probably Gomes or something. Bissouma, Lallana & Co are running tings.

He has no pride just ego. If he had pride he wouldn’t have taken the job.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Deserved to get booed off the pitch at halftime if you ship two to a side that can't find the back of the net with a map.

I wasn't complaining.
I was agreeing.
Shocking performance, in fact performance isn't descriptive tbh.

 

[AndyKing58]

They only way Jaffa is seriously considered to get sacked is if we lose 4-0 or above. Still could happen.

 

[Mr PEN86]

He has no pride just ego. If he had pride he wouldn’t have taken the job.

Fair point

"How not to set-up a team home side and play a game of football." That first half will make for an excellent training video.

 

[ForeverEverton]

EXACTLY this, why ALLOW your midfield to be outnumbered ON PURPOSE in every game, it is negligent....

I guess we are conceding possession to Brighton today then F`IN BRIGHTON.... FFS

Exactly as predicted....

kin idiots.

It’s every game, in fact it’s his entire career.

He cannot set up defences

 

[tsubaki]

How can you be playing Coleman left back when you have a left back available?

Why would you play 3 at the back but not assign any of them to actually mark anyone in particular?

Why would you continue to let your midfield 2 be massively overrun and not change it?

Disgraceful management the players haven't got a clue what they're doing here.

He needs to get take Kenny off, move Coleman over, bring Digne on. Take any of the centre halves off and either bring on anther midfield body like Onyango or Gbamin or get Dobbin on and put him up top with DCL

Coleman for Digne would be the better sub - Kenny hasn't been great but Coleman is actively creating chances for Brighton. Keane off for Onyango and we should look better straight away.

 

[Gabagool]

Not one redeeming element to take from that half, completely the wrong system at home against a team who have struggled to finish their dinner whilst our midfield's been consistently overrun for months.
We should always look to play front-foot football at home and get the crowd on our side early doors.
If Digne's fit enough to make the bench, then you shouldn't have to shoehorn Kenny and Holgate into the defensive unit.
