Match Thread Southampton v Everton Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Nymzee]

Honestly thought Shane Long was playing for like Cheltenham by now.

 

[TheVelourFog]

haven't won a header all day but let's keep hoofing it down the field...

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Alli gives it away, no serious attempt to get it back or break play up, just gets passed around until they spring Livramento who stands it up for Shane Long - Shane Long - to beat three of ours to nod it in.

Shameful, absolutely shameful. Wasn't enthused with Alli's signing, feeling totally vindicated already.

Heads up lads. Was always going to be tough today.
Yeah we can have good wins at home, but the harsh truth is we are not very good.

Out played again today. Fair result.

It's not the outplayed that annoys me. It's the out fought

 

[andy4efc]

Was thinking mobile, enthusiastic and a will to win.

They arent a mobile team. that midfield they have is absolute the opposite of mobile.

Just we have no fight at all. Zero. Nada. It's cowardly.

If you're going to lose, lose by ahving a go, not just cowaring away and showing no desire to do anything.

 

[Fansince1988]

Very much a chance when we keep doing this...

Won’t happen.

 

[jerseytoffee]

Where was the fight and effort from last week? can they only do it with home fans supporting them? shocking effort and performance, these are a nothing team

 

[witchdoc187]

The lads who were saying we are are playing ok earlier in the thread.
Thoughts please.

First 10 minutes we strung a few passes together tbf

 

[DualityNSNO]

Still laughing at Romeu catching the ball and throwing it away in the first 5 mins.

We're gash but my god does it get tiresome playing against 12 men every game.

That's fair tbh. Frustrating!!

 

[UltraVires]

Personally I am really looking at this game as a marker of what the players truly have in them for the rest of the season.

We did our bit as fans against Leeds and the team responded. For away games, it is more up to the players to want to do it for themselves and have passion and pride in their own performances. I am hoping I see it from them without needing a full goodison crowd to get them up for it but sadly I have seen this team do exactly the opposite so many times that I don’t hold out much hope

Well they have given me an answer to my question and it’s sadly what we’d come to expect.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Coleman and Shane Long are good mates.
Just saying

 

[Toffe3m4n]

The mentality of this team is embarrassing

 

[brieverton]

Soton should have kept Jughead. They are loving this.

 

[Liam-EFC]

These players really don’t care. I hate most of them.

 

[Parker]

My god I can't wait for Doucoure to be fit.

Also, 442 is great at home Frank mate.

But let's give it a miss against better sides ey?
