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

[BN41Albion]

Always very difficult to play against 12 men

Give over

double post

When we played with 2 CBs they stayed in centre and defended. Under this system White and Webster spend half of time as full backs which they are not

 

[Steve Foster]

I think we need to question Potter's management on the game. It's been clear to me that Bisouma has been way off today and Connolly out if his depth again yet nothing has changed.

But we don’t need strikers - Maupay & Connolly will just be fine for the season according to the hierachy

I'm guessing that the players have been told to play it short every time, and it's data/statistically based.

There can not be any other reason.

Wonder why nobody wants to shoot.

Something that really worries me, Fulham are the league’s whipping boys, yet unless Scott Parker is an utter potato he’ll just lump the ball into our box and watch Mitrovic score an easy hat trick.

 

[BadFish]

People need to get a grip. 3 pts from this set of games is good.

Well, its reasonable.

 

[Normandy seagull]

The amount of goals conceded so far this season is appalling.

 

[vegster]

Ouch

 

[El Turi]

At least this is happening before the transfer window closes as it should be a big wake up for call for the club.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Everton just letting us have possession.

They know that we’ll not get anyone in the box or have a shot.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

I reckon Zeqiri is the answer to all of our worries.

 

[nicko31]

Fully expected to lose today but hoped we’d make Everton work for it rather than gift it on a plate

Thought we'd get a point, instead outplayed.

 

[peterward]

We're so predictable. Play it around, try and work openings (we can't cross as out strikers are both about 3 feet tall), eventually we'll give it away and any team with pace will score. Hopeless. Gutless. Spineless.

We're only effective in the middle 1/3. Total shit at both ends.

Wonder why nobody wants to shoot.

St have got a massive bill for post paint this week

I don’t think scoring goals has been the main issue in the 4 games so far!

 

[sydney]

when coleman dumps connelly on his face with his arm half way up his shirt he's "exerting his authority" when alzate wins a 50 / 50 ball on the ground it's a " clear foul".....ohh get ****ed you caaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnntttttsssss.....!!!!

If nothing is planned by now it’s pretty much too late

 

[Weststander]

Could be worse people. Yes this is really frustrating but in previous seasons I wouldn't have hoped to get anything away at Everton. We are still having periods where we look dangerous and are creating, couldn't say that 18 months ago

Except that defence means so much, no matter how creative and pretty you are at the other end.

We're crap in that department just now.

At least today the fans won't be able to blame officials or Lady Luck yet again.
