Match Thread Southampton v Everton (Sunday 25 October 14:00)

[DanB90]

Are Gordon and Bernard both playing LW?

 

[Lob]

Didnt even look like a foul that on the replay. Got nothing from the ref here today.

 

[R.Reddington]

Godfrey is not a RB! He is a CB. We have learnt this today .

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

We just need to hope this is the fluke, as opposed to the first four games, I suppose.

All top teams have had at least one bad day at the office so far, so as long as we give our heads the requisite wobble it shouldn’t derail us too much.

 

[MikeH72]

They’re just quicker and fitter than us all over the pitch.

 

[neilsyd]

The midfield has been worrying last two games. Just walked through. The pace of the game seems to be too much for Allan and he gets caught in possession a lot. Big wake up call this

 

[carolinablue232]

How many touches does Dom have today? I’m guessing it’s single digits.

 

[overkill]

Not only are we likely to loose but I don't think we would have beaten we these with Richarlerson & Coleman.

Good team these

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Surely Carlo is largely to blame here, it’s his job to motivate this lot

Being top of the league and undefeated should be motivation enough mate.

 

[TrixyStevens]

Abysmal performance, zero effort.

 

[Carroll Speed]

Meanwhile at Toffee TV Towers, Ol Ped has had enough and seems to be playing with something.

 

[hktoffee]

Not one player doing well

Think Soton limit James uses of space well.

 

[Bob Latchford]

The attitude from so many today is shocking

a lack of work rate which is disappointing.

 

[BlueToff]

Just crap all over, dcl james all asleep.

We haven't played with any control all game. Southampton have dealt with our threats well and James hasn't been able to find/create space.

It's injuries, suspensions adding up, already, which is why leaving ourself short in key areas was daft

 

[Jim Hopper]

Proper regressive football this from what we’ve become accustomed to. At least the media will have their justice now. Party and blowies all around at Joyce’s house later.
