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

[Seanjd]

20% possession at home. Hahahaha

A point is a point. Would you have been happier with higher possession and no points?

 

[Wat Tyler]

Scrawpy equaliser that, when do we ever score a goal like that

 

[captainvindaloo]

Bye bye 3 points.
Would have settled for a draw at the beginning, but now 1 point feels so disappointing!
In the end, we contained them well with minimal procession football (they are a good team).

Should have took Young off way earlier in the game.
I'm no football genius, but even my dogs could see that!

Brightons bench compared to ours today lol

That is typica

Having 20% possession at home to Brighton is actually mental really.

That is typical Dyche tactics, defend, defend.

 

[Bob Latchford]

A point against those , even though they are out of form , is ok but they way we set up is horrible.

3 points would have made it all ok though. The win would also have added momentum, very disappointed with the late goal and late subs. A little bit more proactively would have been good.

Generally pleased with the last few weeks given the shambles that has went before.

This is about survival....forget the beautiful football. We knew that we will have to go through a period like this...it was the same during moyes early tenure.

Oh don't worry about that, I'm barely expecting us to string 5 passes together.

Like I said, another point on the board.

I think they call it the Scottish gene

I believe you mean “Genius”

 

[Toffeelover]

Bloody Young.

 

[Muggins]

I’ll take that point against Brighton. Sounds like we were unlucky. COYB!

 

[Saint Domingo]

You need to win at home to stay up , we simply aren’t doing that atm

We’re at least 5 points away from the last relegation place with a much better goal difference. We won our last home game and have 7 points from the last 4 league games. There’s no indicator currently that we’re playing like one of the three worst teams in the league.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Disappointed, but if you'd offered me a point against Brighton before kick off then I'd have taken it

I thought we were lucky to get the point.

The Dunk offside goal was very close, and Young was beaten at least five times before conceding the own goal.

 

[blue to the bone]

We could have won. Made changes sooner maybe.
But anyone saying we get battered there are talking bollocks .

 

[Bob Latchford]

Brightons bench compared to ours today lol

Was thinking the exact same thing mate. Could almost understand the lack of subs. Sort of!!…..

 

[Rodebaard]

Wonder if Pickford should have done a bit better with the deflection? Off balance I suppose
