Match Thread Everton v Brighton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[f.t.r.s]

Frustrating result, Brighton genuinely never looked like scoring...
Dyche needs to swerve the ultra negative football though...

 

[sladen90]

Good result. Happy with that.

Just don’t think you can play on the break like this with two of the slowest and least dangerous wingers in the league and expect to constantly create. People are going to say we were unlucky to concede and sure, but we were lucky to create a chance in the match as well with all the deflections we got too.

I don’t totally hate what we’re doing at least from the standpoint of can we win enough matches but I think we’re just a bit short in attack and the manager needs to be trying to make up that difference.

Take that tbh. We are tough to be beat and that’s the best it’s going to be this season against most teams.

we were so close to winning if dyche makes changes he shifts momentum

his fault

 

[Neiler]

Good point all and all, freak but of luck away from the win.

Very unlucky.

 

[jonnyg]

A point probably deserved considering how little we threatened them in the 2nd half barring the last 10. Just really cruel it had to be an own goal like that

 

[formerly manx toffee]

That was a big chance to pull clear

 

[Cjplennon]

Frustrating how much we let them come onto us and how poor we were passing it forward.

 

[Lob]

Lets be honest, we would have taken a draw before the game and were unlucky not to win it. Think Dyche should have got fresh legs on much earlier which might have avoided the own goal so he has to do better. His subs have always been a bit dodgy tbh.

6 points clear of the bottom 3 and didn't get beat anyway.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Dyche’s tactics are to give up space out wide but back ourselves to clear balls in, has been that way all season however tired we are

it didn't work

 

[Mikey O]

Very frustrating 2nd half after a decent first. Feel we could have got much needed 3 points with better use of subs.

Presumably someone who would have stopped Brighton's fluke goal?

Everton were very unlucky to only draw that game - blaming the manager is an absolute joke

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Hectic game at times, good point considering how much possession we gave up.

 

[matty1878]

We’ve had back to back relegation battles and people are complaining about us trying to hold a lead against a team in Europe… it beggars belief

erm mate…

 

[everton fan number one]

If we had no point deduction incoming I’d be pretty positive about our prospects of avoiding a relegation fight on this form

 

[PrekisCrossBarlow!]

Absolutely embarrassing that

Well, this is certainly a take
