Phil Brown is eager to forget about Hull City Football Club’s Goodison Park nightmare.

The Tigers trailed Everton 2-1 at half-time, but their performance suffered a dip in the second period when the home side added three more to their tally without reply.

“I thought we were competitive in the first half but in the second we certainly weren't," said Brown. "We left our game in the changing room for whatever reason.

"Everton were good but we made them look good because we didn't get in the face of the opposition. Defensively I have questioned one or two.

“But we will dust ourselves down and get on with it. We have got 10 big games now. Goal difference will play a big part this season and that kind of collapse in the second half is not what is required.”
