I just cant undarstan why we are so so deep when they have a ball

Because we no longer care whatsoever mate. Just going through the motions and ensuring we don't get embarrassed.

Honestly, if he stays as manager, I would fear for us being in a relegation battle next season, we are that bad.

Too right, been saying it for a while now. If he's still in charge on the evening of the FA Cup Final (whether we're in it or not, or whether we've actually won it), then I genuinely think relegation is on the cards for the following season to this one (which is 2016/17).

I can't be the only one who thinks this performance by a second string Everton team against a good Southampton side is actually not terrible...

Seriously though, we have played much worse recently with a (supposedly) stronger starting XI.

We've been okay, think the problem is mate, it's just so lacklustre.

Same poo, different day.

my poo is a bit different today. Got a loose stomach, so it looks more like pee than poo tbh

 

[EvertonRhys]

Not a bit of use if you don't get shots on target and score goals, looking pretty does not win games.

Agreed mate. My poor Martinez impression.

 

[orly]

That was like the last days of Walter Smith bad wasn't it

 

[riddick]

isnt it better to play with 11 than 10 ?

you would think so, and yet, we still have Kone on the pitch.

 

[billybeeru]

Gibson is a red card waiting to happen. So he's done a perfect job filling in for Barry/McCarthy.

 

[Jamiednm]

isnt it better to play with 11 than 10 ?

Mathematically, yes. Theoretically, that's open to debate.

 

[DanEFC92]

Oviedo is shocking

 

[quasi modo]

Very very obvious at the end of that half that; we don't practice defending corners.

Or closing down crosses. Oviedo just plodding around letting tadic do whatever he likes.

Or anything, seemingly.

Closing down full stop. We have no desire to go and win the ball back, and for a team who are rubbish at defending inviting the other on to you is not a great tactic.

 

[ricer10]

No point even risking Rom today...... So RM will definitely get him on

 

[JonnyFitz]

Hull away last year was the last straw..........and he's still in charge.
