[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Everton *** Official Match Thread ***

[Blues Guitarist]

look at the aggression on pickfords face as he bundles over Ali Mac.

So why wasn't that a penalty?

 

[Scappa]

So if you so much as breath on a goalkeeper, it's a foul. If a goalkeeper barrels through an opponent it's perfectly fine

 

[Steviewonder]

Ref's got most things right so far gorgeous a pleasant change

 

[Bodian]

If VAR looked at that it could have been a straight red. Malicious intent ?

Why didn't VAR look at it?

 

[Husty]

Probably should’ve scored 3 today, fair play to pickford. Still conceded 4 at home though. Oh well

 

[rool]

If there is a very small positive it's that Leeds are now in the bottom three.

 

[zefarelly]

This was a must win game, he should had started if he's fit enough to play the whole second half time to try and rescue a 3-0 loss at half time.

Not it isn't/wasn't and the rest makes no sense . . .

Doesnt matter how good your keeper is, the defence is the issue.

you want to play 2-4-4 you need world class footballers who want to be centre backs who are fast, they haven't been invented yet

Is it a coincidence that we seem to concede more goals with Steele? He’s conceded 2 against a poor Leeds, 3 against Brentford and Forest and now 4 against bottom-3 Everton.

Look at the saves Pickford’s made.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Is there a fire drill ?

 

[Si Gull]

We're still well placed to finish above Spurs and Villa but can't afford any more 'bad day at the office' shite.

What a poor performance especially the first half, I imagine March is finished for the rest of the season and Webster wasn’t the worst out of the two central defender talking of which this has to be the poorest Dunk has played in a very long time.
I am trying to think of positives much better second half, the substitutes all improved the team but with Picford making some great saves and Brighton looking tired the best team won

 

[Bodian]

No matter how badly we've played - hats off to Everton, they have carried out their game plan excellently.

 

[junior]

I don't think any of those goals are Steele's fault.

 

[SuperFurrySeagull]

A day to forget.

 

[GoingUp]

It matters not but how is that not a penalty?

I do blame him, a booking at least.

Ehh game is over, would expect the same from our keeper too.

Would he been classed as playing as an outfield player too, therefore an indirect free kick?

 

[Hendrax]

As roberto said after united.
if we lose on monday this win means nothing. onto the next.

 

[Icy Gull]

No moans from me, Everton have mugged us, we were so ineffective in the first half

Steele has had an absolute ‘Mare whilst Pickford has had a blinder

 

[Farehamseagull]

Gross in sand there! Stunning finish from McNeil.

Fully deserved for Everton and Dyche. I can’t stand Dyche.

 

[Zeberdi]

You don’t have him in the side if he is liable for injury. The injury proves he should have started and played for a long as he can and then get subbed. we now have a sub replacing a sub. Poor management on this occasion!

Please don’t be obtuse - all players are at risk of injury - and Solly only coming on late into the game was because he was really needed and was a case of attempting to MINIMISE the risk by having him on the bench rather than definitely using him by starting him.

- unfortunately for Solly he went on not in top condition and paid the price.

Everton have been the better Premier League side today - same way we trounced Leicester and Wolves we ourselves have been trounced.
