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

[Paulie Gualtieri]

VAR should never have even given it the time of day.

Piss weak refereeing to be swayed by them too.

Clear and obvious error - it was a hand ball

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Sad that Bournemouth seem to be a much better team than us atm

 

[Blue3]

Poor first half desperately needs pace and width on both sides not just the left so sub Garuda plus Baleba needs to be very careful being on a yellow with his style of play a second yellow is not impossible.
second half is going to be very difficult being 0-1 ahead the bus will remain parked

 

[Eeyore]

What a dreadful half.

The passing between the centre backs so needlessly slow. I hate it when Dunk does this. So boring. We've asked absolutely no questions of Everton. Their 3 CB's won't have broken sweat. Well maybe Tarkowski when he sprinted to tell the ref what to do for the penalty. Dunk at the same time just looks he can't remember the round at a bar. Lamptey our best player. Minteh and Rutter had to start. This was a big game for us and FH has got it so, so wrong. JP and Welbeck anynonomus.

No complaints from me from the penalty although why the f*** is the VAR camera nearer the away fans. We love to give all the 1%'s to the visitors. Joel was playing for the foul. 9/10 he gets that but ref has let a lot go which for us in this game is actually good.

Make some changes NOW Fab. Ayari and Baleba are getting owned. I'd take one of them off.

That's all I've taken from the first half. I need to use that one.

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.

It's absolutely baffling why we would change the line up at all. As ever, there doesn't seem to be a plan or any logic behind his selections. I do wonder where we would be this season under RDZ or Potter.

 

[southstandandy]

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

This - the pen was debatable but as you said we created NOTHING. And we're the home team!

 

[The Fits]

Everton are actually pretty neat on the ball. Some very technical players in midfield who didn’t get to show it under Dyche.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Georginio is coming on.

First season RDZ? Second.
But that ship sailed.

Don't have the benefit of seeing again? Front of the north and he is pushed for me. Was it a foul or did he go down too easy?

 

[Gazwag]

Rutters coming on

 

[US Seagull]

The frustrating part is the lack of urgency shown by the players. A couple minutes left before half time, a free kick just inside their half and... ball back to Bart. Win the ball in midfield again and...ball back to Bart.

I fully expect if we are still 0-1 down in the 90th minute, we'll still be doing the same.

I get that being desperate isn't a good tactic. I get that Fab thinks we should "trust the process" and the goals will come. But sometimes? Sometimes you gotta try and make the goals happen. And a goal down is one of those times.

 

[Eeyore]

where have all the "running water" outlets gone? cricfree out, cr*ackstreams out, vip league blank screen, hesgoal buffering every 2 minutes to the point of having to refresh- reckon i saw less than 15 mins football.

Most of those actually at the game will be envious of that.

 

[Justice]

Minteh on for Gruda. Rutter on for Welbeck/Pedro. How those two were not starting in the first place is beyond my comprehension!

Incompetence no other manager drops an inform goal scorer.

 

[dadams2k11]

We will turn this around and win 2-1. Just read my tee leafes.

 

[essbee1]

The way we're set up atm we could play until next Saturday and not score.

 

[oldboyroy]

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

Trust me, it was stonewall. Veltnam just hits it away with his hand and he could've got away with it if no Var. It looked as blatant as it could be as he swiped the ball away while falling

Not sure about Potter but De Zerbi is a much better manager imo. Always was

50-50 on here.
There was contact but he made a meal out of it.

Clear push on Veltman into the ball. But I am only sitting 30 yards away so what do I know.
