Match Thread Southampton vs Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Toffee-nerd]

If we can get Gordon on for McNeil and get some quality going forward for 30 minutes we will piss this. They're garbage, great chance for 3 points here, we need to take it.

I think Gray has done well. Been a promising half. Maybe bringing on Gordon for mcneil second half could help us and also bringing on Kyle John

He looks ok, because he’s always buzzing and running with the ball. But he impedes our attack sometimes, wrong decisions, holding onto the ball too long

On the bench, running at people in the last 20, sound.

But we’ll need to decent wingers otherwise we’ll struggle most games

Mate it took Iwobi 2.5 years to look even remotely like a footballer

Mate, we can't be waiting years for first team players to come good, that's what lower league selling clubs have to do, then we buy them off them.

'kin stupid decsion to bench Gordon in the first place.

Benching him for a player in form you can accept. Benching him to play that tailor's dummy was absurd.

Terrible decision by Frank, and I dont care what he said about an illness to Gordon. He still chose him for the bench. So that's utter BS.

Eeeeeee, you're embarrassing.

Gray is such a frustrating player isn't he, looks so exciting when he's running with ball but then it's a weak shot or overhit cross.

Decision making is so poor. He had space on either side of the goal and two options and just rolled it straight at the keeper

Would have been great having dcl as an option today

 

[Chegsy]

Southampton devoid of confidence but if we gift them a goal, they will start to believe a bit more.
We have to avoid that by being more creative in the final third and get an early goal in the 2nd half.
If that happens we go on and win this comfortably.
Gordon for McNeil for me.

Next goal will probably win the game. If they score and shut up shop we will struggle. Need to start the second half strong and nick a goal.

 

[john jako]

We look so much better than last season. We would be losing this by now.

Shame we can’t offer anything going forward

 

[Goat]

Eeeeeee, you're embarrassing.

Amazing, he thinks Lampard has to hide behind excuses.

 

[davek]

Dominated that half and nothing to show for it. I think we all know what comes next.

 

[Eggs]

Would you be looking to make any switches at half time?

….I think Gordon could make the difference, not sure it will happen at half-time.

Encouraged at players hitting the box, especially Onana. I saw that & after 10mins had a little of the 25-1 available but we are clearly lacking quality in the top third.

 

[riddick]

The issue i see is even if DCL gets fit we're still pretty awful in the front. Just don't know how we fix this with what we have at our disposal.

Yeah
A win

That is kind of how that one works in a lot of sports.

Not being the underdog helps.
