Match Thread Everton v Southampton 1/3/21 - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[allen]

Gave it to Pickford had nothing to do right up to the end but did his job when required..

Not a lot to choose between Richarlison, Pickford and Gomes for me. But ultimately Richarlison made the difference, so I’ve gone lazy co-commentator.

 

[Frank Butcher]

Thought Gomes was excellent tonight.
We were fully in control until the last ten minutes but it wasn't a great watch. Really pedestrian.
If we win on Thursday the table will make for good reading as we will jump West Ham and either Liverpool or Chelsea or both.

Good hard fought win, battled every minute. Southampton were giving it some welly, they were just poor up top.
Doucoure my motm, was like he was teleporting around the pitch.

 

[witchdoc187]

We won

stop looking for negatives at every opportunity

love Carlo

love the blues

UTFT

Can you remind me why I'm fuming?

 

[kingduncan]

Funny isn't it. 30 seconds left of added time, player gets injured for 3 minutes, so plays 3 minutes more.

That was crap...but we won so meh, let them have their 5 mins extra time every match and we will keep telling them to f-off

 

[EFCPaul]

Sparky looking enthused as usual.

Imagine having to work with that man every day, Christ.

 

[DownOnTheUpside]

Made harder work of that than we had to but three points and we move a step closer

seen plenty of seasons where we conceded a goal or even go onto lose the game there so will take that all day long


Have you ever walked alone at night
Thought you heard richy behind
And turned around and GD is there?
And as you stink up the place
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure the blues are there?

 

[Pejic300]

Well this aged well.

Very happy to be proved wrong. Top brinkmanship from Ancelotti. He must have a heart like a lion cos I was bricking it throughout.

 

[Milkman]

That Iwobi sub comes 20
Mins earlier I think we get a second pretty easily, C.

Bit worried that it was so negative tonight. But, job done

Watching Gomes shepherd it out for a goal kick that ended up as a throw in summed it all up for me.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

The stream I was watching (which I assume is the same as Sky) was never off that Hassenhuttl pouncing about with his stupid ski gloves.
Most an Austrians been on camera in the UK since the 1930s.

You're forgetting Josef Fritzl

 

[BlueStevie35]

All that aside, its 3 points, but bloody hard to watch. Saints ended with more shots on target didnt they?

One shot each on target, the Pickford save was that one

That was crap...but we won so meh, let them have their 5 mins extra time every match and we will keep telling them to f-off

Good point. Well made

 

[okellypj]

I think West brom will be a tougher game than these so glad he's rested some players.

 

[MockBu4]

That was painful to watch... atrocious performance. Got away with it, Djenepo with a good chance, should have scored and Vesterdaard should have aswell.

Pickford saving us yet again

Agree.

Don't get me wrong I'm absolutely delighted with 3 points but this side is in shambles, they were there to take 3-4 neal, it was great luck we didn't concede any. It seems as if we so often saw draws and losses against rubbish down tables that our standards are being lowed.

Everton we all want to see would have battered them.

MOM Richarlison for me tonight... Another great finish and great to see him closing down and doing the defensive part again. Played for the team tonight. Hunger is back, don't know where it went, but it's back.
