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

[peterward]

You can’t blame the keeper for that, Ryan has never been that kind of keeper and I say this as a critic of his, when you know your keeper isn’t going to come out and dominate it should make defending easy, there’s no mix ups or middle ground. Particularly if you’re playing with 3 centre backs, the 2 goals we’ve conceded are criminal defending and marking.

At least if you’re not going to attack balls, disrupt the run, we know James has ridiculous set pieces, we’ve been very naive.

I'd argue the opposite Wizard. He doesn't need coaching during the week in shot stopping or passing, he needs training in how to dominate crosses from set pieces, they are the teams Achilles heel and he's part of the reason.

Lamptey off?!!

 

[The Wizard]

Should have been 3, big block from Webster.

Veltman on... Lamptey off?

Look a bit sore running back in the first half. I missed what happened.

Forget about our defense, but our Maupay/Connolly partnership is not working for me. Connolly, in particular, seems to only want to impress us by his work rate... but he does not steal any balls or force any bad passes, just a lot of running around. As a striker, you've got to bring more... I would bring in Mac Ali for Connolly at half time.

bollox mate ....look at the goals we have concede today .....theres the problem

Veltman for Lamptey? WTF?

 

[razer]

White having a bit of a mare.

Why are we so adverse to having a pot.

Pot's the last thing the Albion need at the moment.

We're far too relaxed already defending set pieces.

Don't forget Everton have won their first four games and they are at home and their tails are up.............I have now started drinking

Definitely shouldn’t underestimate Everton. And we always lose at Goodison.

Yep but we don’t need another striker. I can’t wait for our game changing forward option to come off the bench.

 

[Steve Foster]

Teams that concede lots of goals always go down .....

Think he’s been better today. Webster is the worry for me in this game

Webster? He’s been the best of the 3.

 

[peterward]

Solly being solly! Trying to pick out the fella in the stands

 

[Weststander]

I've listened to this on R5, the commentator showed no sense of impartiality in the first 30 minutes, he was repeatedly scathing of our targeted fouling.

Gutted when yellow cards weren't shown.

Six games they've won I think.

Six games they've won I think.

In a row.

This, a great keeper is the lynchpin of a defensive team. Ryan is not that, good keeper but not ever in command of his area

 

[The Wizard]

I echo that Everton are a very good side and good value for their lead, but the most frustrating thing is conceding avoidable goals from set pieces like we have. Can accept losing to world class build up play but not basic errors.
