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

[Mustafa II]

Minteh is so f***ing good. Absolutely terrifying for a defence.

Mitoma is BACK.

Get in!!!

 

[Zeberdi]

Well Mitoma hello

Straight out from the back and very fast on the counter attack cf to last season - no flapping around recycling passes - Minteh and Mitoma killer.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Loving the directness of play. Minteh is just pure energy

 

[Gully Forever]

We seem a lot more aggressive than last season

I think the manager has asked for high Intensity, But we seem to be rushing possesion.

 

[SweatyMexican]

Minteh looking the absolute business. Great buy.

 

[RandyWanger]

Very good passage of play that from the wings.

 

[Bodian]

Dam we have scored….ive read this thread and i just don’t believe it…..someone is fibbing …..we can’t be winning

I think we're going to be exhausted this year - both fans and players. Looks as though we can score out of nothing - but also play quite sloppily. It's going to be exciting.

Must say Hooper is having a good game (so far).

 

[LamieRobertson]

It’s likely to be tough for any team at Goodson this year. Many of us remember how The Goldstone became a fortress on the run in during our final season there. The imminent loss of a much loved home just galvanised everybody involved.

I’ve a fair few toffee minded friends and even the ones who’ve not made a match in years are making sure they’ll get there at least once this season. There’s going to be blood and thunder all season long.

Indeed they won’t their last five home games without conceding a goal

Who was the player who played the ball out of defence instead of letting Steele collect? That was very good play.

 

[oldboyroy]

Everton were dominant but Mitoma is back

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Well it is the Everton I expected. All long balls and huge physicality when they don't have the ball.

How can they play long balls when they don’t have the ball?

Think that was weiffer to be fair

 

[Albion my Albion]

Ahem

I did give Minteh credit for being able to change the game quickly and for predicting 0 - 0 at halftime. I never said I would be correct. I just said mark it down. I'm hardly ever correct.

 

[Bodian]

Everton were dominant but Mitoma is back

To be honest - apart from putting it in the net, the goal was little to do with Mitoma!

 

[OzMike]

Just got back from a night out, great result so far. Will check again when I wake up. Feeling a bit trashed !!!

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Clearly Minteh

 

[Washie]

To be honest - apart from putting it in the net, the goal was little to do with Mitoma!

His run through the centre was definitely to do with him

 

[El Turi]

Having dangerous wingers makes such a difference. That’s what De Zerbi missed for much of last season.

 

[fruitnveg]

Haha, Milner. Love it

 

[Jim in the West]

Tbh, I'd still take a draw.
