Brighton Match Reaction

Check out my instant reaction and game summary from the 5-1 drubbing of Brighton yesterday. [RBM]

Here are 5 very enjoyable stats from Everton’s incredible battering of the vaunted Seagulls. [RBM]

The comments from Sean Dyche painted a picture of growth and team spirit:

“That was the most pleasing thing because we didn’t wait for anything to happen. We stepped on them immediately and broke through their tactical plan, which we suggested we might be able to do. Then, we found a key moment. In other games, we’ve been frustrated by the lack of those moments and the lack of clarity, but tonight, it was a different ball game.

I must say, I thought at Leicester, there was clear signs of what we’re trying to achieve. I spoke to the players and said ‘Right, it’s not just about parking that and moving forward. Now, we build on the back of that.’ So, I was really pleased with that; the attitude and mentality to take this game on. I was very pleased.”

MOTM? Take your pick, but Doucoure and McNeil were outstanding. [Football Fancast]

“We had our gameplan and when it is executed like that it is a great day. Still three cup finals and we have to keep going. You have to take a lot of positives from that.
“The gaffer made a couple of changes. We set the standard early. We have to keep going as a group, the togetherness is there but just don’t take the foot off the gas.” - Jordan Pickford on the team’s mentality right now. [Echo]
