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

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Brighton are a much better team than us and I’m disappointed that we only got a draw. I think that is a sign of progress.

 

[RomanReigns]

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.

Has Gomes disappeared into the abyss?

I know all the noise will be about Young. Patterson came on and immediately got skinned by Mitoma. Harrison was badly at fault for the goal. Sold himself way too easy

Harrison was done midway second half...but who do you bring on...we need a proper right winger urgently...should be our first signing in January.

They didn't mention any of the calls at the end on my stream so who even knows.

I didn't see a replay but it sounded like DCL pushed Veltman into him.

Still Varring that Dunk goal was a joke.

We won't see a better goal at goodison all season and the lines were on top of each other.

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've played good teams.... Brentford, west ham and Brighton are good teams. 7 points from them games is a great return.

 

[Victus]

Honestly, if we're genuinely disappointed at getting a point at home to Brighton from a flukey deflection, Dyche must be doing something right. However don't let me get in the way of a good moan and coal rake for the man.

It shows the progress that has been made when a draw at home to Brighton is treated like a defeat.

They hammered us at Goodison last season.

Harrison and Young

We could have been 12th in the League.

We could have ceded a second Brighton goal.

 

[Dixie1sixty]

dyche thinks we can just grind out results we can’t do it every game backs to the wall invites pressure

which leads
to goals

Funny that because we have done exactly that a lot recently.

 

[TommyDavo]

OMG we're just not city.
Can't compare.

Never said we were. But possession of the ball gives you positive results usually

 

[jazzy]

….was thinking exactly the same, especially with the Gueye booking. We have no depth in CM or CB, we’ll have to make do on days like today.

Actually thought Dyche did very well. I laugh when posters complain about the possession stats as though it’s tactical, it’s about quality and they have better quality than us. Despite that, they had very few chances so we were tactically sound. From an attacking perspective, DCL generally had support and players joining in.

The goal was just so unfortunate but the result was probably about right.

Thing is though Eggs that if we did have options off the bench Dyche probably wouldn't use them until the 88th minute

And another cm
