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

[Myllos]

So sitting back for 45 mins you think was a good tactic

In this match, yes.

 

[lungo]

Accurate, unfortunately.

No keeper can do anything about that sort of deflection

No surprise you’re posting on a game we haven’t won, no peep from you last Sunday or Wednesday night

So he isnt a midget?

 

[Toffeelover]

Do you think he will keep us up this season.

Too early to say. But if he manages games like he did today ?

 

[Bob Latchford]

I always say this about dyche. He could have brought Patterson and Beto on but don’t even think that would have made much difference.

Probably didn’t want to upset the balance as the boys tried to see the game over the line. Def not much with regards to squad depth.

Six points clear of the relegation zone is nice, despite the disappointing result.

But we had more shots and shots on target than they did. With a quarter of their possession.

When you just give the ball away and don't even try to retain possession you are bound to come undone

 

[ForestBlue]

Two valuable points dropped but, as my old Nan used to say, one point gained is better than a kick in the bollocks.

your nan had bollocks ???

Disappointing to only get a point but we are a different beast this year. Just keep grinding points out like that and we will be fine.

 

[Sharpies volley]

We've got to manage games better. We win the ball and try and get it up the pitch as quickly as is humanly possible. We're winning one nil, we've got to slow the game down and keep the ball better. Just kept giving it back to them.

 

[blue to the bone]

Look at the home results. In fact, look at the points return. Relegation return in most seasons that and we've had one of the most generous set of 11 opening fixtures you could ask for.

Just wait until we play actual good teams.

Definitely anti Dyche.

We have played 4 of the top 6 so far
Away points count too .

 

[jazzy]

The only thing I will give Dyche is that with just 1 injury we have no midfielders able to to come off the bench.

That's not on the manager.

Would you have been happy if the game had finished 1-0?

 

[GoldenToffee]

Six points clear of the relegation zone is nice, despite the disappointing result.

There's the small possibility (we're Everton so you know it's very much possible) of a serious points deduction about to hit us.

 

[Melchizedek]

Haha we were a goal up for like 75 mins and tried to hold it!!?

Yeah, playing like that is asking for an equalizer and they got it. Maybe we should have tried for a second goal, before they equalized, but we didn't.

 

[Cels]

your nan had bollocks ???

She was ahead of her time.
