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

[Sussexscots]

Mubpie was top notch.

Minteh and Georginio on second half and we win this.

Chicken one was dismal. Hardly any filling in it at all. Pastry and some slops.

Definitely need the physicality and directness of 14 & 17.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Like Veltman would deliberately throw his arm at the ball in that position. His arm hit the ball as he was tumbled to the floor by the Everton player.

Don’t want to disappoint you but that’s exactly what’s he done to gain an advantage as Beto was just about to spin inside.

Was a clear penalty when you watch the replay

 

[Madafwo]

Been out with the family so only tuned in to the radio half 3, listened the penalty go in and turned the radio off.

Full on anti football from Everton now on and we fail to break them down.

Warren saying this is one of the hardest games he's had to commentate on as the quality of football being played is so bad, or non existent.

My pie was top notch.

Minteh and Georginio on second half and we win this.

 

[Guinness Boy]

There’s no way a Sussex ref should take this game. He’s over compensating.

 

[1066familyman]

Absolute joke of a pen. Yes it hit his hand but it may well do if you get pushed.

I'm afraid it was a stonewaller. As clear a penalty as you'll ever see.

Veltman at peak dark arts, but totally forgetting that there's cameras and VAR there.

 

[Krafty]

As predicted, Gruda has done absolutely nothing. Why on earth didn't we start with Minteh after his great performance last week? Not trusting the 'process'.

I don't understand how the manager watches the game last Sunday and decides not to start Minteh or Rutter after their excellent performances? A very poor decision. I wonder if he is underestimating Everton.

 

[The Wookiee]

We will be a totally different team in the second half, again !!

Comfortable 3-1 win

 

[jcdenton08]

This isn’t a tactic. Trying to get into half time level and then using your bench to hopefully win in the second is so defensive and naive. Where’s the bravery gone?
This season has been really ‘meh’.

Any tactic is a good one if it works and you win. The risk is when using such a tactic if it goes wrong and you don’t turn up as hoped in the second half, it makes for a very poor performance

 

[The Fits]

Yup, go easy on Gruda. He simply isn’t a winger.

There’s no way a Sussex born ref should take this game. He’s over compensating.

Damn Scots, they ruined Scotland

 

[Mackenzie]

Georgie and Minteh for Gruda and Pedro at half time please Fab and get them to play at full speed.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Certain teams have a knack of playing anti football....it's always the teams who are hoping they don't lose. It makes for a crap watch when we're not playing as fluid as we can.
It was a deliberate handball by the Veltman I'm afraid, his falling over act isn't working today.
I hate being pragmatic, but there hasn't been a lot to get excited about

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I think that was a pen.

There was a tussle between the two players, not enough for a foul, Veltman goes to do his fall on the ball, give me a free kick routine and the ref has to give it

 

[bluenitsuj]

We have created nothing first half. Changes needed immediately of we are to get back into it.

 

[Alex BH]

What the fck possessed Veltman to palm the ball with his hand. Really stupid. Why are we playing the game at Everton’s tempo and not ours? Painful watch against an unbelievably dull Everton team. Moyes would make winning the lottery a dull experience

Damn Scots, they ruined Scotland

I’m from North Kilttown!

 

[Mike Small]

Baleba does seem to like a booking just before half-time doesn't he.

He got pushed to the back of the queue for brains.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Again, multiple changes needed at half time
