Seagulls slaughtered
Ouch for the Seagulls. Here’s my two cents worth on what went wrong for anyone who’s interested.
Our squad has been hit with injuries of late, and with a hectic schedule in the final weeks of the season, I understand the need for rotation. But I think Roberto picked the wrong team. Buonanotte (while still only 18) doesn’t look like a winger. He rarely tries to take his man on when the ball comes to him. Compare that to Enciso. Solly March in the second half looked much more dangerous. Possibly losing March for the rest of the season will hurt more than the five goals. Undav’s second and third touch is ok. His first on the other hand. Today was a prime example. I don’t think we’ll be seeing him next season. Especially with new record signing Joao Pedro in the post. Simon Adingra could be our next Mitoma when he’s back from loan which will probably see Buonanotte playing centrally when Mac Allister goes.
We don’t have a right back at the moment. Four of their five goals came from attacks down that flank. Gross probably ranks as one of the clubs best ever signings. A full back he is not though. I’ve seen milk turn faster and Everton exploited that. We miss his creativity in the midfield too while he’s filling in for Veltman.
Brighton can struggle at home against teams in the lower end of the table. Everton looked like they were playing with six at the back. Similar to the Forest and Gerrard’s Villa games. A goal after 35 seconds doesn’t help. In the first half the triangle passing was stifled leading to crosses aimed at the far post to possibly the shortest player on the pitch, Buonanotte. And then the counter. 77% possession is Man City-esque. Without the Man City players to break teams down. While only 18, Ferguson coming back for the run in is huge. No pressure son.
Our keeper reverted back to Jason Steel-ing a living today. Five shots on target. He saved one of those and scored a goal himself. Meanwhile, Webster did make some crucial interventions but was asleep for the first goal.
Fair play to Dyche. I hope Everton stay up. I hear they could be in serious financial trouble if they go down. Which is never nice. And not having a Merseyside derby would be weird. Although what is that high pitched…
