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

[arbok]

This is what makes the top teams good. When you rotate the squad, the players come in and are as good as the players they replaced. Cohesion was lost today with just two changes.

 

[Lob]

credit today, Ralphie H has undone Carlo's game plan

Nah we have just been crap and made it easy for them tbf. Wouldn't even need a game plan to play against us today. Anyone would have beat us. Very poor in every single position.

 

[Nymzee]

All the Reds on Twitter will be saying we're out to end players careers again won't they

 

[longers]

How long is Coleman out for ?

 

[Tin-Tin]

James holding his hamstring, another one down maybe. All falling apart this.

 

[deipnosophist]

Glad I didn’t wager any money on Everton winning...I thought we were due an ‘Everton that’ performance so steered clear of the bookie (NB I never put money on Everton to lose...I dislike the psychological clash engineered of cognitive dissonance)

 

[bullybeef]

Absolute shocker today.

Our brief affair with the top 4 was nice whilst it lasted.

These lads don’t have the bottle!

 

[Jacob]

Allan is wobbling round like an oul one with bunions today. Keane's positional play has been back to atrocious today...the inside pass once again beating him

 

[TheNinja]

James feeling his leg, 9 men in a minute

 

[AUXLEN]

at least let Dom get a goal

 

[bring the ghost on]

Doing my head Southampton. Every tackle, rebound, deflection etc falls nicely for them. One of them games where it all falls the oppositions way.

also - they were far better than us.

 

[StateSideToffee]

NEVER a Red that. Awful decision. It was not even a challenge. There have been many awful decisions; this is the worst I have ever seen in my life.

Not that it matters. We’ve been awful. It was obvious we would lose the second Iwobi and Siggurdson were handed the start.

 

[matty1878]

Would be a complete waste of time, if we appeal we should be thrown out the league.

LOL ok goat

 

[carolinablue232]

Gordon is better than Iwobi. Time to trust him.

 

[ftk43]

Football is a game of tight margins, would've been a completely different game if that Siggy shot went in in the first half .

Richy and Coleman are big misses for us,
James is not playing well at all, think he needs rest. No service for DCL.

Those games will happen. Next one is really important, no need for a slump. UTT.
