Everton 0-3 Brighton - the fans' verdict

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Everton and Brighton.

Here are some of your comments:

Everton fans

Mal: Wrong tactics, wrong manager - I said this last season and nothing has changed. Pickford long balls to Harrison, who then crosses it to Calvert-Lewin, who rarely scores from open play. This didn't work last season and it won't work this season. Everton has a manager in Dyche who stubbornly won't change his system. If only Moyes was available...

Gary: Same old Everton, I'm afraid. It's going to be a very long season but at least we have a few more games to play before we really know how it will pan out. We just don't have pace at the back with Young and Coleman, who has been a fantastic servant but his legs are not 21 any more.

Lee: Thought we started really well - then typical Everton turned up! Young cost us a chance of even getting back into game - really poor from him. I'd rather start with three at the back. Very, very disappointing.

Brighton fans

Charlie: I love this club but, honestly, in the first 20 minutes we were all over the place and lucky not to concede. However, when we eventually took hold of the game, we played fluidly and progressively. In terms of attack, we were ruthless, skilful and easy on the eye. In Hurzeler we trust.

PH: We gradually worked our way into the game and took control. We could have scored more but we played it around and stretched the 10 men of Everton in order to keep the clean sheet. Excellent execution of the gameplan, especially in the second half.

William: Brighton were great - the best way Hurzler's tenure could have started. They certainly grew into the match, and while there were some nervy moments at the start, we didn't look back. If we keep playing like this, Europe may be on the cards after all.
