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

[Baldseagull]

Officials gripped my shit first half, from Dunk likely being onside, Pickford picking up a back pass, ref making Milner take a throw from right in the corner, then allowing Young to take the next one ten yards down the pitch seconds later, and a few other iffy decisions. Didn't notice so many shit decisions second half. Only deserved a point though for some poor passing and generally not creating enough chances.

Wasn’t a back pass. Clearly a tackle so Pickford is able to pick it up.

Ref was shocking though, for both teams. An Everton player made 2 bookable offences during one first half advantage break which can result in 2 yellows. He didn’t let Everton play an advantage when 1 on 1 on us and missed a lot of clear fouls. I’d like to see their penalty claim and potential on our player for their goal again.

Yep - appalling homer particularly first half. No backbones again. So so so poor. You missed the pull on Dunks collar then booking Gilmour for the protest. Booking Dunk then failing to book almost identical fouls in the same position from them. But we’re wrong as Dyche has spoken

Everton boss Sean Dyche speaking to Match of the Day: "I'm delighted. Three games in six days, the work ethic is good, we are tactically very good and improving all the time. It is a blow to concede; we kept them quiet.

"Brighton are a good side; they use the ball well and don't lose faith in it. We should have done better on the counter at times; in saying that we had two refereeing decisions on the edge of their box; I don't know what is going on anymore to be honest. They should go for us; on another day, I'd hope we get them.

Sky just mentioned line for VAR disallowed goal incorrectly drawn. Another apology apparently coming.

I thought so at the time. I sent the pic to PGMOL and Gary Loneker at half-time. Hopefully, MOTD (and PBOBE) will make a lot of noise about it.

 

[SlickHenry]

In the end was glad to get the point as Everton are hard to break down and remember the 1-5 defeat. No idea how VAR ruled out Dunk's goal - the angle was terrible and you couldn't see where the lines were drawn. If it was offside it was centimetres. Brighton, despite having so much of the ball, created very little of note so can't be too bothered by just a point.

The main thing that strikes me is that we have slowed up noticeably in our transition from back to front. I know it's hard against a team like Everton - but we didn't speed it up we could have done. There was one moment when they were actually attacking with more than two players, one fell over - an absolute prime opportunity to move it forward when they were short in numbers. But we waited for him to get up and back before we tried anything.

So clear that I and others thought it was a back pass, and 2 of our players looked to be appealing for it. I will bow to your certainty though as I only saw it the once and don't want to call you a **** for being so dismissive of my opinion on a fleeting view, though I am thinking it.

Does Dyche always talk such utter toss, or does he just save it up for when his teams play the Albion?

 

[oldboyroy]

Just got in walking to our digs for the night. Happy with a point despite controlling the entire game but for a few Everton break aways.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Happy enough with that.

Yep. Had we beaten Fulham like we should have done this would have been an excellent point today.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Thin margins.... If Dunks goal stands it's a complely different game. Maybe they do more attacking, maybe they fold.

 

[Machiavelli]

This place is unbelievable at times. I will not slag off our players. They are young and will make errors in judgement. To say goodnight is not good enough just by a ten minute cameo here and there, just shows the level of intelligence by some of our so called JCLs supporters. A few results have gone against us, as in, two shit teams have shut up shop so we've only managed a draw. We are putting out kids who are 18 and 19 years of age for christs sake.....think how good they will be at 21?
I am enjoying this brand of football. yes, we could HAVE made a different choice with a pass....but I'd rather watch us v everton than exeter, or v fulham rather than shrewsbury.
Be thankful for where we are. If you don't like it, go back to supporting the 'big' clubs
edit
We are sixth in the premier league at time of writing

Thank you for posting this. The state of this thread. Glad I don't normally follow match-day threads. We've got a load of entitled fans.

 

[worthingweird]

We weren’t great in terms of chances created but absolutely dominated the game of football.

If you think we were terrible what would you call Everton’s performance?

- who the f*** do some of our fans think we are!? And do they watch the games!?

Tossers... who don't know the beautiful game.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Forget football as a sport it's a multi billion pound business. No other industry would tolerate such poor workmanship as we see time and again from referees who often have the help of potentially great technology. Why isn't he looking at a monitor to check if he had made a clear and obvious mistake. I would if it were me.

 

[raymondo]

Brilliant from Pascal when he calls out the interviewer for saying we haven't won in 5 PL games..."so many have we lost then?... eh...you don't know..." . Good to hear is passion after today's game.

 

[jcdenton08]

I’ve got access to the kids but they don’t want to seee meee…

Always talks shite. Detestable passive aggressive with a big chip on his shoulder.

 

[Coxovi]

I see that adding extra time for stoppages etc. has resorted back to the nominal 3 or 4 minutes.

It is the time wasting that gets on my tits, given the 30 seconds per throw in and goal kick should have been 10 min at least. They have given up and anti-football had won.

Richmond Arithmetic versus Nottingham Marjorie - match postponed due to bent pitch. Good night.

 

[AlbionBro]

Pressure is on, I feel we need the full six points to finish off November. Those Forrest lads are the only other team not to have won a game in their last five Premier League matches. Come on the Albion.
