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

[Red Squirrel]

Another great win. We could be safe by Christmas

 

[origigull]

Can't complain about the result tonight . Bloody brilliant

 

[LamieRobertson]

Great win, shine removed by sloppy penalty at end. How far we’ve come!

I’d disagree shine was removed

Tarkowski fell on his face when March went past him for the third goal and then ran into Pickford and fell on his face again as Gross scored the fourth. Marvellous scenes.

 

[Albion in the north]

Anyone with a 'running water' that's working effectively?

Sorry I didnt see this during the match but I always Google "reddit football streams" and see what it brings up.

 

[portlock seagull]

Wonderful! Just wonderful!

Soak it in, these are seriously special times!

Yep, until Feb 1st by which time I fully expect the financial dopers to have raided us again! Council needs to secure the Pier at this rate…

 

[Mike Small]

Really want a clean sheet. We don't keep enough at the moment. Greedy a bit I know.

The softest of softest penalties. Dunk couldn't cut it out, Pervis has only got one leg than Bob dives in with no need. No way Iwobi would score if he was the only player on the pitch. Sanchez then over dives! Think our lack of clean sheets will be a theme that will hold us back a bit.

But HOW far have we come when we absolutely batter and toy with Everton away and I'm writing about this. Have that.

Well there's only one word to describe that performance...








... adequate.

Rolls Royce.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Think Potter was holding us back to be honest! RDZ‘s sides are light years ahead of the dull possession game we endured with GP!

 

[trueblue]

Fantastic performance. So much more incisive under De Zerbi. Must be so dispiriting for opponents, always chasing around. Invited to get the ball, then watch us disappear up the pitch - love it.

 

[The Fits]

Is RDZ the manager to finally unlock Solly's potential

Solly is the key. He should have no doubt- he is comfortably one of the best and complete wide players in the league (ergo Europe). Nothing to fear now.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Some save by Sanchez from an Iwobi shot early on at 0-0 eh lads?

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Didn't lamptey get pulled back before the pen?

Yes what an awful manager GP was for us

Agree RDZ certainly appears to be an upgrade though as it stands

 

[raymondo]

Hard to complain today but we really aren't as good defensively since the regime change. Much better going forward but we have at least one mistake in us every game. That will have to stop to take the next step.

But we DID have mistakes in the previous regime too!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Didn't lamptey get pulled back before the pen?

That looked a foul all day

 

[Auckland seagull]

As a way of kick starting my day in New Zealand, that was designed by Carlsberg. And then some.

 

[Zeberdi]

Stellar performance all round - we looked dangerous on and off the ball tonight against a team that looked increasingly desperate and out played - Our AMs are doing what they are supposed to - scoring goals and Ferguson has ‘come of age’ as a PL1 quality striker. March again showing his detractors that he is a great all rounder. Mitoma unbelievable- already worth 10 x what we paid for him - welcome back to our WC winner, great saves by Sanchez (he will be more upset than anyone about the pen) and 4 goals scored in a PL away match for the first time.

‘Let’s take the positives’ and not pick holes in a great win!

 

[Eric the meek]

To have Ferguson playing like that, is an incredible bonus for the squad.

He wasn't fazed at all. He's 18 FFS. 18. One fewer than 19. What a future.

Sky Sports news currently discussing "whats gone wrong for Everton" and "every time Brighton went forward Everton came back at them".

WTF game were they watching?
