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

[Muzzman]

The thing is if there was anyway all supporters good mobilise and boycott one PL week of football, just not turn up in protest of VAR, I think it’d kill it dead. Can’t see that happening though.

Marginally dodgy decision? f*** off. Its us getting f***ed by VAR and inept officials yet again.

It’s miles from being the worst decision against us. They should be using the tech they had in the World Cup and it looks like the line is in marginally the wrong place in a high pressure situation to make a call. Human error is always going to be a feature while this offside system is in place.

Billy and Lallana mott playing well yet

I don’t know why the lines aren’t drawn from feet and then if the lines overlap it’s onside. It makes zero sense that they haven’t got to this easy solution. It would solve all of these marginal calls we get every week.

Still at least everyone can moan about the ref to mask that we’re playing absolutely terribly

 

[banjo]

This ref ffs

 

[Krafty]

Should've played Fati and Pedro (again)

 

[US Seagull]

Would help if we stopped passing it straight to Everton players TBH

This is exactly Everton's game plan. They know with so many passes, we are bound to mess one up eventually. And that's when they break on us.

 

[southstandandy]

Oh well...roll on Ajax

This, we are (once again) bloody awful this half!

 

[American Seagle]

And Everton should have had at least a couple of yellows for kicking the ball away. Why are they not getting booked!?

 

[Hendrax]

we need to feed Ferguson. He likes it to feet in and around the box but we just keep recycling it instead of taking a chance on the forward pass.

 

[Weststander]

I know it can sometimes be effective but Everton play horrific football. If Dyche ever took over at Brighton, I’d immediately cancel my season ticket.

I’ve always said the same and I would. Similarly Pulis and any other rugby merchants.

I do think RDZ has been rotating too heavily. I get that its a long season and we have a lot of players to keep happy, but it's always at least 4 and it feels excessive. We always look a bit dysfunctional this season even when we win.

 

[Zeberdi]

Gilmour still such a lightweight, competent but a lightweight and no where good enough to make up for the loss of Caicedo - we look too vulnerable in MF and the back - our Forwards are just not getting in the game - where is our flow?

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Weird one this ref. Letting them get away with a lot of fouls.

I totally agree on the second point. We were so fluid and organised last year but we've really struggled this season. Yes we've got some decent points on the board and had a couple of really good wins but it's night and day in terms of rhythm and style.

Agreed. It’s silly. These are professional footballers. Plenty manage 2 games a week in the EFL.

Getting a bit fed up of RDZ this season

Classic Homer

 

[Bridcutt]

We look terrible again, predictable

Can't wait for the 45th minute subs and then we instantly look better zzzz
