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

[BN41Albion]

Goodison can be tough for anyone, they go after teams from the off and try to get the crowd up. Got to try and see out the early pressure. New managers first game in charge, was never going to be easy.

Hallelujah - a measured post

 

[Zeberdi]

I really don’t like us in this yellow strip

 

[Seasider78]

Okay this is looking better.

Think Wieffer is very nervous though.

It’s going to take him time to get used to the pace of this league but technically he is sound so he will get there just have to allow players time to adapt to a new league and intensity

 

[Littlemo]

We are playing like strangers.

They basically are.

Wieffer is excellent at passing to a blue shirt.

Great news for Utd!

It’s likely to be tough for any team at Goodson this year. Many of us remember how The Goldstone became a fortress on the run in during our final season there. The imminent loss of a much loved home just galvanised everybody involved.

I’ve a fair few toffee minded friends and even the ones who’ve not made a match in years are making sure they’ll get there at least once this season. There’s going to be blood and thunder all season long.

0 - 0 at halftime. Mark it down. Both sides inept at scoring so far.

 

[El Turi]

I thought Wieffer’s passing was poor against QPR and Villareal so I’m not surprised he’s struggling again. No surprise Milner is getting the run around either. I’d like to see Gilmour and Baleba on sooner rather than later.

 

[The Wookiee]

We seem a lot more aggressive than last season

Everton commentary.

You couldn’t watch this as a Brighton fan could you?

Take a draw right now all day long

[The Rivet]

Well it is the Everton I expected. All long balls and huge physicality when they don't have the ball.

Take a draw right now all day long

And that's no bad thing. Manager's first game in charge.

 

[Solid at the back]

A point would be good here. Need to improve our passing. I think there will be a red in this game.

And my dog "Sloppy" doesn't like to move much. He's older.

 

[Jim in the West]

I think it took RDZ 6 games to get a victory?

The icon of the sea cruise ship turns quicker than Wieffer
