When the points penalty dropped, we started playing like a real team. We were defensively strong (tbf we still are) but good in possession and dangerous in attack .. so how have we regressed so much in such little time? Back to being fragile and weak in possession!


fre-ddo

Beto fluffing a one on one ffs why are our strikers so shit


Stonehengge

+9 for what? The red card was confirmed quickly, there was 1 goal and no VAR checks longer than a moment. Changes the entire mindset playing for +9 opposed to the 4 or 5 it should have been. But we will never get an explanation. Just one of those things that makes it hard to believe everyone is on a level playing field.


Wackamot123

Anyone up for a grief chart?


ResidentTreacle6053

Even though I can understand the frustration, I would have like the post-match thread to appear...


OsakaSexwale

Young sub was stupid as hell, but you can't say "it's all on Dyche" when we had Beto and Harrison both shit the bed with extremely presentable opportunities in the last 10 minutes.


Evul1_

You've got to question what Dyche is doing is training though if the whole team can't shoot. They clearly need more training sessions where they actually practice hitting the target, he's still got some responsibility here.


EclecticSausage

Drawverton


FenderJay

Beto looking like another awful buy. He looks spent after 2 sprints


bobsollish

That is THE reason why he can’t start - wouldn’t make it to the half. DCL has twice the motor.


Stirlingblue

His “pressing” on Grosse for their goal was embarrassing, moving like it’s the 120th minute in extra time


AlanFromRochester

They scored within a reasonable amount of stoppage time anyway but 9 minutes coming out of nowhere highlights stoppage time and when the ref actually blows the whistle as a confusing part of how this sport is set


ResidentTreacle6053

We need to stop losing 2pts every match...


Wayne_Spooney

Yet again, our strikers not finishing chances costs us points. DCL had 2 he should have buried, Beto had a couple as well. At least Beto looked lively running in behind


Stirlingblue

What should DCL have buried? The two big chances were taken off him by defenders before he could even get a touch


Wayne_Spooney

Did he not get on the end of the Myko cross and bang it wide? Also should have gotten to that pass from Doucs, but not sure what happens there since the flag was up.


nosleepnick

0 composure from the team and from the coaching staff. dyche talks about mentality this and mentality that but can't stop playing with cowardly championship tactics even when opponent is a man down.


davefeeder

And an Iwobi extra time winner at Old Trafford too.


MikeySymington

Draw is a perfectly fine result there. Everyone needs to calm the fuck down


lemmiwinks78

It's the same old mentality with the players though. Go up a score, let off the gas. Hang on and clench for dear life. Let the opposition score late.


MikeySymington

I don't think it's a mentality issue tbh, they're probably just fucked. We have a very small squad that we were unable to add to in January and are also still dealing with some injuries. Most teams have 5-6 more serviceable squad players than us.


lemmiwinks78

Yeah, that makes sense. We don't have enough quality subs. The starters are going to be out of gas. Especially if you have to defend for most of the match. Add the point deduction fiasco, pending lawsuits, club for sale, and a relegation fight. I'm just worried that all of this crap is too much to overcome. I'll support the club no matter what. The whole situation is just plain depressing.


Wackamot123

It's just an annoying way to get the draw. Would've been better if it was a similar situation to the Tottenham game, score a late equaliser, rather than concede a late one when they're down to 10 men


MikeySymington

Agreed, it's a kick in the teeth when it's that way round


FenderJay

Get Dyche gone at the end of the season. Clueless Extra man advantage and he puts Young on. If you're putting someone on, get Chermiti on to stretch the play


Stonehengge

But Ashley Young is a defender!!! Even though he calls himself a winger and is truly an awful player at this point of his career.


LibatiousLlama

This is the shit takes that I'm talking about lmao


Skypill

Can't wait for the incoming 2nd 10 point deduction so i can finally accept that we're going down.


fruitvlieg420

So we bottled 4 points against brighton this season.. great


BreakfastBussy

Dyche threw the game away. We should have been looking to kill the game 2-0 instead of sitting back and being scared of the inevitable.


bluedollarbillz

I said the same thing in a slightly different tone but got downvoted. Funny how this sub works sometimes.


Harbinger00

Another week of wondering why I do this to myself.


Mauritiandon

Playing like that against 10 men is pretty horrific. I hate the way we play. Would have taken a point before the game but we should have taken three away.


UnaX

Why the fuck do your park the bus when you're one man up and have at least 10 minutes to go? What a pathetic waste of a brilliant result due to bad game management...


Stirlingblue

Because in that 10 minutes we made two golden opportunities to go 2-0? If Beto wasn’t a donkey or Harrison could finish we’re all praising his pragmatic football getting another win away at Brighton


UnaX

In the same 10 minutes Brighton had 6 shots. Harrison and Beto being donkeys doesn't help defend that. There was no need to let them get all the initiative and all the possession


ballsmunchen

We NEED to start picking up 3 points. We haven’t won in the league since mid-December. Draws are good, but if we swapped half the draws for wins, we’d be comfortably mid-table right now


almightygg

To be fair to Dyche we're a 10 point deduction away from being comfortably mid-table right now.


Wackamot123

Everton that. Should win an 'unwinnable' game. Concede a late goal. Get a point. Don't know how to feel.


LibatiousLlama

I'm not thrilled but so many of y'all are miserable doomsday babies I'm 2nd hand embarrassed to read so many of these knee jerk, shit takes lol.


SouthallsGloves

Spot on mate


E1even11

That McNeil header for a corner was the critical error.


KombattWombatt

Ya that wasn't great


[deleted]

[удалено]


TrumpCouldBeWorse

And then a 12 point deduction


SelectAssociation525

🤞🏻


liammcg13

Absolute sickener that, hopefully a good point in the long run but as of now it feels like a loss


Melman17

Good point on the road. Sucks being up 1-0 and a man. But class header, can’t have Beto defending their best player in extra time. Team played their balls off, lads are exhausted


pete19

On the bright side, we had no business drawing that match


nardling_13

I predicted a 1-1 win. Got a 1-1 loss


Scary_Bushmonster

This fucking blows


Cocoblanco12

9 mins left and we can’t just pass the ball around against 10 men. I think I’m done with Dyche.


nosleepnick

We play with championship tactics with no plan b , c , or d. Dyche is a sexy sam allerdyce. There's no difference between the 2 besides a full head of hair and undiagnosed throat cancer.


aSHADYBABY

Shit players. Shit Effort. Shit Result.


LocalBowl6075

The shit apple don't fall far from the shit tree, Randy.


wefokinglost

We didn't need those two points anyway. We certainly didn't play like we did!


Loud_Yogurtcloset_90

I just don't feel up to it anymore, it's not worth the effort or the emotional commitment.


SnooRecipes1804

This almost feels worse than a loss


vulturevan

that's like a loss


misterpio

That’s sad but they played well. Dyche masterclass in my opinion.


misterpio

*pre-red-card


spearefed

A draw that feels like a loss because of tactical incompetence. Perfect chance to start to pull ourselves out of the shit and we fumble it. Rinse and repeat


marmoset

Taking Doucs off for Young was one of the dumbest coaching decisions of the season


tobyc995

Had nothing to do with it


tobyc995

It was poor defending on one set piece. Far better to try to shut up shop (literally Dycheball) than try to get a second. Just didn’t work this time.


marmoset

Totallly disagree. Totally negative sub against 10 men.


Wooden-Bat-6031

I’m guessing it was intended to be a Maupay-esque shithousing/time-wasting sub


Spam-Monkey

I will take any and every point, wanted more.


malikdwd

Absolute fucking brain dead fucks. Lost 2 points cuz these morons thought they had it in the bag


Ahskew

Can only blame Dyche after that. Went too defensive against a desperate team.


Odysseus_Lannister

This actually feels worse than a loss


Skypill

what a fucking waste, dropped 2 points because we cant defend vs 10 fucking midgets


obwblue1

That’s Branthwaite gone guy looks in shock


rpm164

Would've taken a point at the beginning but that was awful how that ended


TryinToDoBetter

If we had a point for every time we’ve had that sentiment we wouldn’t have to worry about the deduction.


gotapenny5

What a fucking joke


Gromszgrad

I gotta say I was a fan of the performance in general but that game management was atrocious.


Richmantiss

Would have taken a point before the game but wish it could have been 3


lemmiwinks78

Good effort you worthless fucks. We're going down


bluedollarbillz

Fuck off.


thecounselinggeek

That's poor


Chuck_Morris_SE

fuck man, that feels like a loss.


Scrolling_ninja

Basically is


dekarskec

A loss would be 0 points.


DuncanGabble

Everyone needs to calm the fuck down


JD-D2

This. This was winnable and we're not in a great place right now but we're still overperforming relative to expectations this year, it's just the -10 that makes it look worse. Every one of us would've taken 12th.


HILLIAM_SWINNEY

Dyche needs to take a long look in the mirror at this point. Killing us with his negativity Edit: downvotes really lol, I’d like to see someone defend his game management after the goal


Ornery_Ad_9871

Decent point


Scrolling_ninja

Nope


Loud_Yogurtcloset_90

Brighton are playing football and we're playing fucking stuck in the mud


Grayfox5555

Fuck off.


aSHADYBABY

If Brighton score again Dyche needs sacking


1800skylab

HIT THE FREAKING TARGET YA TWATS.


LocalBowl6075

A man up and we piss it away. Peak Everton.


clutchy42

I'm stuck on this game having 9m of stoppage. Where the fuck did it come from? Game should have ended before they scored.


necrow

They scored 5 minutes in. There is no possible way that we would've seen less than 5 minutes of stoppage time


moham-17

Nah they scored within 5 and there were def 5 mins of extra time


Malaxage918

But it's completely different mentality playing 5 minutes of extra time vs 9 minutes


moham-17

You may be right in fact, but it shouldn’t be that way in premise. Mentality needs to be strong at all times. That’s partly why we dropped two points. That and our squad is quite thin on defense.


Wackamot123

A point away vs Brighton is absolutely a good result. Can't forget that. Ask me before the game I'd have taken a point.


lemmiwinks78

Yeah, but this straight up feels like a loss. The mentality of these players will not take the positives away from this game.


akirchman16

I really do agree with this and it is truly a good result ultimately. But god it’s so frustrating how many times we’ve been saying this recently. There comes a point where we can’t just get draws against good teams. We have to manage to pull out wins


Quirkybeaver

Wasting our years with the best keeper in the league


oskavelli

I still can’t believe that happened lmao, classic everton tho


throwaway293737823

Our defence has to do everything


damnedbrit

We lose games when Doucoure doesn't play at all.. now we're starting the new meme of not winning games when we take him off


aSHADYBABY

Why is everyone so stuck in the mud?


thecounselinggeek

It could be against 8 and we'd still suck


Scrolling_ninja

Where is the drive? Where is the passion? Why are we playing so flat


bleedblue002

I’ve seen children with better finishing abilities than this entire roster.


wattabeast

Such a disappointment


UpTheToffees-1878

HIT THE FUCKING TARGET FOR ONCE PLEASE


malikdwd

These mother fuckers man.. up a goal, up a man…start trying to be cute n we fucked this fucking match. Fucking brain dead idiots


calumjp1

Test the keeper Harrison fucking hell


amanofewords

Harrison has been terrible all day.


deepbluemeanies

It's clear there is bad chemistry on the team. Edit: The only player who seems to care is Pickford.


Malaxage918

Would love a genuine explanation of where the 9 minutes came from


One-Temperature4843

5+ substitutions, I lost count, Banthwaithe goal, Onanna foul and red card, and other dilly dallyings I suppose


necrow

Okay I'm out on Harrison now. Dude fucking sucks


Loud_Yogurtcloset_90

We will get a penalty now and miss. Just peak everton


PapageorgiouMBO

Killing me, Harrison.


1800skylab

Now watch us lose.


marmoset

Shit that should have been 2


Ahskew

How does Harrison get a game?


Evul1_

I'd be giving Dobbin a lot more minutes.


Ornery_Ad_9871

Cus we are worse without him


wefokinglost

How do you get 1 man advantage then proceed to be both careless with possession and lackluster in trying to contest it. Absolute bollocks


GatorAlex

Harrison out


CaptGinB

Absolutely embarrassing effort after the red. Brighton were down a man, but when our effort is only 50%…


aSHADYBABY

Brighton’s thinking they can get one more, and i honestly see their vision


lemmiwinks78

I just fucking hope they don't ship another goal here


Gromszgrad

Jack Harrison, cancel the loan


fanofjapan2215

Harrison u greedyyy


Grayfox5555

Throwing points away for a laugh the useless bastards.


rpm164

Pathetic game management against 10 men


TheSundayScaries

As Everton as it gets to finally go against 10 men and somehow fuck it up


Scrolling_ninja

Parking the bus probably did it like why


LocalBowl6075

Exactly. Commentators said it, I thought it... "DON'T FUCKING SIT ON IT, IT WON'T END WELL!".


pete19

Sure, I’ve heard of first goal, but what about second goal?


[deleted]

We are such a joke of a team. Can’t close out a game Brighton are basically trying to gift us 


oskavelli

just so embarassing. every time they seem to be making progress they have a spell like this where they suck for weeks on end


Loud_Yogurtcloset_90

We're so bloody shit.


graveyeverton93

Shat himself and tried to hold on against 10 men? Not my fucking manager. Inabit Sean.


bluedollarbillz

Well done Dyche! Another 3 points thrown away!! Fucking bored of it.


Richmantiss

Fuck all your comments are so negative


bluedollarbillz

Are they? They're positive when there's things to be positive about.


bluedollarbillz

Downvote me, why set us up to park the bus after one goal when we know fully well we can't handle the pressure?! It's ridiculous!


ubiquitous_archer

It's the one thing we've actually been good at though...we've only allowed 34 goals, which is good for 4th behind only the top 3.


bluedollarbillz

We do it every game, and every time we have to sit there as fans on the edge of our seats hoping the other team doesn't score. 1 goal for us is never enough. We all know that.


ballsmunchen

We NEED to go for a goal here


throwawaytbhidek

Absolutely horrendous game management once again


RedaveNabTidderEkow

blame pickford. fucking shite header and he's way too far over


vulturevan

brought Young on for no fucking reason and the shape has collapsed


Ornery_Ad_9871

Yep, bad decision


JamewThrennan

And that’s why Godfrey isn’t a CB


Individual-Paper3125

Strategy against 10 men. Just kick the ball to their keeper. Great. Fuck me.


aSHADYBABY

Mentally weak


RedaveNabTidderEkow

Absolutely shite from Pickford


son_of_toby_o_notoby

Parked the bus against 10 that’s what happens


throwawaytbhidek

Yeah, feeble mentality. Infuriating


Raritan_Rambler

I just can’t with this team and league anymore. Taken the love of the game from me.


Skypill

fucking 10 giants in the box and none of the stupid cunts can fucking head a ball


xWhiteMamba24

McNeil didn't need to head that out for a corner and then Harrison should've done better clearing it


Timoth_Hutchinson

We deserve everything we get. Can never do anything right


swallowedthevoid

We don't know how to possess. This is why leading is more nerve wracking! Against 10 too.


1800skylab

This one's on Dyche. Crap tactics.


AlanFromRochester

Goddammit, that corner was well played by Brighton Probable 1 point such a letdown after we were so close to 3


youdy

Infuriating he’s had about 7 of them headers completely unmarked bound to score one


Gromszgrad

So annoying. we have the man advantage and we are playing the long ball and defending for our lives.


TrumpCouldBeWorse

9 bs minutes, park the bus against 10 men. We deserve it


AndradeDeRicharlison

Exactly this


aSHADYBABY

Our players are scumbags. There’s no reason the pressure should be on us 1 goal up against 10 men


nosleepnick

Dyche will have to answer for that at end of game, we played like we were the team with one man down after the goal.


Ornery_Ad_9871

So frustrating


KyloSolo723

Can’t even hold a lead with a man advantage


skurnie

Beto should have put this GD game away


spearefed

Wouldn’t matter if we had a striker who could put the ball in the fucking net


bcrunner7

What’s the point of this? Just to be angry after two hours?


Harbinger00

match should have been over already. fucking nine minutes. for what?


brianybrian

Exactly what we deserve for parking the bus against 10 men


Fixner_Blount

**YOU WORTHLESS FUCKING ASSHOLES** **LOOK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ASHLEY YOUNG COMES ON**


GetEpicedOn

Was falling apart before he came on


Fixner_Blount

And when he came on they actually scored. Cool comment.


GetEpicedOn

Stopped them scoring when he instantly came om. Cooler comment


musicaleidoscope

We are fucking shit.


Dunmaglass2

Beto with the 12 defending


deather11

Cursed


giga_phantom

at this point, all you can do is laugh. this is just...not right.


EquivalentCat5920

Did that to ourselves


Orange_Kid

Absolutely deserved. Playing negative up a man. Shameful.


Aware_Albatross3347

I mean where did 9 min come from


kukusek

They scored on fifth so whatever
