Goodison Glory

Even Ashley Young managed to put a cross on the money - what world are we living in

Onana and Patterson were born 2 months apart. So are they both kids or not kids??

The villa game was false. Not for us - a win is a win. But you can't/shouldn't judge villa on that. They rested the most influential players int heir team. Not saying we should expect them to batter Brighton but they're not shite.

I thought Harrison grew in to the game showed good attacking intent...Beto....not sure what to say...he plays like bakayoko to me...just running full pelt everywhere and will smash one in every now and then...but not sure if the quality there?#juryout.

I'll need to look at the stats and watch the fame again but I thought gana was brilliant. His shooting is shocking...no argument there but I thought he and Onana controlled the middle first half.

Well hopefully we can stop asking for 4-4-2 because it didn't work. I'll need to sleep on this one because I can't believe we've lost. We created plenty of chances, but 2nd half was just poor, really poor. Not enough intensity or quality.

Beto is doing my head and now I'm thinking he only looked good against Donny!

He's got to do better there

Myko man. I'd rather we played young and Patterson.

Myko slows us down so much. His control is not good enough. Harrison crossing hasn't been up to much either. Garners was better

We are def not exerting the pressure we were first half. Very scrappy this. Needs another change.

Agreed but you made it sound like a dyche issue - so just pointing out that dyche installed one of the best set pieces defenses.

We were actually among the best in the league last season at defending set pieces.

I'd rather see Danjuma for doucs...def get Harrison on

I was about to say McNeil has been more like in doucs position last 20 mins of the half

Assuming it's Man Utd and not the toon....it's a bit pot - kettle that mind...yes we are still shitter than them but expectations are different and they spend 200M on wages and are still shit

Garner is playing very well.

Get in. Some luck for once

Why is doucs going with his left foot...hit it with his right and it was in without DCL

Gana bottled it....cos he knows he can't shoot

Another set piece..we've gone back to those days of conceding set pieces left and right. The signs were there froM arsenal not defending their short corners.

That's why I said prior to this season.. ant way irrelevant because the boneheaded mistake has arrived.

That's quite a limited portion of history you're looking at. Because prior to this season I can't remember many times we dominated and didn't score (usually we wouldn't dominate at all) Our play first 15 of this game is better that anything else this season. Yes lots of shots but look at the play...even doucs is playing simple passes effectively...Onana and Gana are running the show.

What history is that?

We are playing some lovely stuff though. Goal will come.
