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

[Ike and Tina Burner]

Bleak viewing so far. I decided against going at 6 this morning so I expected us to batter them because I wasn't there! I really think we lack a plan B under De Zerbi. Shades of Potter about this performance.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Can’t expect to win games when we only turn up for one half every game. Starting XIs have been baffling lately!

 

[US Seagull]

83 per cent possession, no significant threat to Everton's goal.

Other than the disallowed goal, we really haven't troubled Pickford at all, have we?

 

[fruitnveg]

Surprised they didn't use DCL push as an excuse to give a penalty then. Should have booked the c*nt

 

[Mackenzie]

Look a bit clueless today, like a Potter performance. Billy not playing too well. Hopefully a much better second half to follow. Fati and Pedro on for Ferguson and Adringa.

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

Ferguson gone from the Irish Haaland to the Irish Akpom

Bit unfair. Absolutely no service into the area

 

[Coxovi]

This is painful viewing, we have to level.

Performance ? More like this season

We were very lucky indeed. Not a penalty at all but I doubt VAR would have overturned that if the ref had given it. They never do.

Would love to see Tarkowski get wiped out. Odious, big eared prick.

You can see why officials are scared to give anything against Dyche. Constantly in the fourth officials ear and you can guarantee he will be complaining to the ref about something at HT.

 

[Krafty]

Please, please get Fati and Pedro on the pitch at half-time. We need a change soon RDZ!

He'd just flap his ears and fly away.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

The push by Calvert-Lewin is the most blatant thing all half. How the hell do these commentators earn a living. They miss it three times and then say “oh maybe there was a slight nudge”.

 

[BBassic]

It's little things, isn't it?

Ref makes Milner take the throw from the exact spot it went out and then ignores Young heading to the halfway line to take his throw.

 

[The Fits]

This season looks like a Potter team.
Think about all those chances we were creating last season, from all over the field. Ripping teams to shreds. Sadly that's because we've been found out and RDZ has to work out how to change things. We aren't Man City.

Half Time: Everton & Officials FC 1-0 Brighton & Hove Albion.

We are not winning this match today.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Refs a homer

 

[Zeberdi]

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

Sorry but when you have a squad that’s largely bloated out with young inexperienced players and players near retirement, you can’t expect to absorb injuries from key players and for it not to have an impact. In terms of Club size we are punching right to the upper edge of our weight, it was never going to be easy playing the schedule we have had and the PL and international matches - we look like a team with depth in terms of squad size but when you break it down we are still lacking in key positions.

This perfectly sums it up

Good grief we’re shite
