shailen Posted 3 October 2020 Posted 3 October 2020 I'm not sure Everton will be near the top 6. They're on a high and have momentum from the signings they've made in the summer. Once that goes I'll think they'll struggle and end up between 7th and 10th. 1

Plus their defence is shite.... 1

One of LCFC’s biggest weaknesses. Three of the 4 goals we’ve conceded have come from crosses, the 4th as a result of a headed clearance, again from a cross.

Incredible business, I joke a lot about our transfers etc and feign impatience during windows but we really are in all seriousness one of the best ran clubs in world football. Much like Dortmund IMO 👌
TrickyTrevLeftPeg Posted 3 October 2020 Posted 3 October 2020 (edited) Brighton do try to play the right way. They play through the lines and also want to play out of the back so credit to them. The problem is they always look like they want to score the perfect goal. Yes Maupay goal was scrappy but that was the first time they actually played the ball into the box. Even set pieces they don't ever play the ball into the box. They flatter to deceive and are actually frustrating to watch. They create all there own problems.

This obsession with playing out from the back and teams seem to be overlooking the fact that goalkeepers need to be good at saving shots before anything else.

Perfect illustration right there .... they play around at the back without ever trying to break through the lines imo Edited 3 October 2020 by st albans fox
WigstonWanderer Posted 3 October 2020 Posted 3 October 2020 (edited) Sounds like Chilly had a decent game today. Good luck to him. He always seemed to play better for England than for us. Perhaps he’ll do well at Chelsea. Of the “top 6” they’re the ones I least dislike. Edited 3 October 2020 by WigstonWanderer
Sunbury Fox Posted 3 October 2020 Posted 3 October 2020 Pickford is just terrible. So lacking in composure and error prone.

The cheeky fecker could cross a football all along. He was just pretending to hit the first defender every time. What a joker!!
Guest Kopfkino Posted 3 October 2020 Posted 3 October 2020 Doubt Everton will have many easier games than this.

Md9 Posted 3 October 2020 Posted 3 October 2020 Can’t wait for Liverpool to put 5 past Everton so they don’t get to far ahead of themselves
martyn Posted 3 October 2020 Posted 3 October 2020 That's a quality goal. Thought James might not have a big impact at Everton given his career trajectory but he has impressed a lot so far, not just with his quality but he is putting a shift in and dealing with the physicality just fine. If Calvert Lewin carries on scoring they'll be favourites for Europe.
MPH Posted 3 October 2020 Posted 3 October 2020 1 hour ago, murphy said: Yeah, goal and assist and good luck to him. It does make you wonder about the post Christmas period when he was very average compared to 2019 and whether that was due to his head being turned by Chelsea interest. We can't know but if that were the case then he let us down. im pretty sure one of the ITKs did actually say he’s had his head turned now you mention it...

Countryfox Posted 3 October 2020 Posted 3 October 2020 Always wondered when the toffees would finally click ... looking very organised and quite tidy ... will be a good game when we play them ...
waylander Posted 3 October 2020 Posted 3 October 2020 Brighton’s corners some of the worst I’ve seen. And all this passing and not shooting is so blooming frustrating. Like us sometimes over the last few seasons. Get a shot on target . 4-1 and not even having a pop ridiculous.
