This is horrible, Brighton have been the better team but not by 3 goals.
The 2 more pressing issues are 1 - This feels like groundhog day with proper protocols not being followed with VAR in our games.
Eds I can't remember the actual game it was but we had a penalty decision that was as clear as day not given and VAR didn't review it last season. maybe you can help with the game it was.
We are 90% of the time on the wrong side of horrendous calls, I remember Allan getting sent off against Newcastle a couple of seasons ago and even Carragher said it was a booking all day long but VAR intervened and got the exact frame that made it look like horrendous tackle.
My other major concern is how do we improve this squad now? Young should never pull on an Everton shirt again in my opinion.
Why didn't O'brien start?
I agree with a lot of people on here an unproven Dixon is better than Young. at least he has legs, and let's be honest he can't defend any worst than Ashley.
I remember people complaining about Tony Hibbert, Leon Osman and Steven Naismith starting every week under Moyes. I would give anything to have players with that quality, passion and drive in our team now.

Sean Dyche on Jake O’Brien “The reason why he didn't start is because Michael Keane's had a very strong pre-season and he's a very experienced Premier League player. Jake hasn't got that experience [yet] but he'll learn quickly. "

Could have easily been 0-5 and they were way, way better than us.

PLB that’s the worst cop out I’ve heard. If Keane was so good why did O’Brien feature in so many pre season games?
He insults supporters when he reasons this way!

O'brien would have stepped up with Tarks alongside him.

Didn’t OBrien play in the prem for Palace?
