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

[Frenk]

You'd trade Forster for Pickford? Che Adams for DCL? Elyounoussi for Richarlison?

Because that's what you're saying.

If they can play together as a team, then yes. Our lot of overhyped wage robbers have been promising us something for years, maybe this year they will deliver? Relegation.

Did anyone put in better than a 4/10 performance?

 

[matty1878]

No, i want this fatty to go as well.

ha ha ha ha fool

 

[BlueToff]

Too much hoofing out from the back today. Like watching Ancelotti, Benitez etc... I'd rather lose 4-0 trying to pass than lose 2-0 playing long ball.

That only happened after Allan went off and Southampton were given free rein to press our midfield

 

[Bungle]

Mad that you’re talking normally in sector E. do the mods pay you to be sensible for a few hours a week?

Just realised my warning points expired last week so feel like I've wasted the day being sensible now.

We do need Doucoure and Gray back ASAP.

 

[Grogu the blue]

That 2nd half was one of the worst I can remember and the first half wasn’t much better

Only because your brain is shutting out previous games this season, we have played as badly as that at least 13 times

 

[maccavennie]

The players think they're too good to go down there's no other reason for such an embarrassing lack of effort compared to last week.

Got a win, foot off the gas.

The knobheads will be in the bottom 3 after next once we get had off by City

 

[lungo]

Imo Coleman needs to be CB, at this point in his career he’s best there, he’s our best leader. Why he’s still playing RB is beyond me. We have Kenny and Patterson that can play there and are more mobile.

Coleman our new hope. Its getting better and better!

 

[Fansince1988]

That only happened after Allan went off and Southampton were given free rein to press our midfield

Yes and replace him with Gomes, what was frank thinking, I’d play any other player in there but Gomes.

 

[Billy Dean]

Very depressing that, hope Frank rings the changes (tactically and in terms of personnel) for City.

There aren’t that many options really

 

[irishgoose]

Should’ve been about 5-0. Pickford’s performance deserved better from everyone else.

He’s still a prick and getting beat near post on that was crap. I’m biased, I just don’t like the arrogant turd

 

[banno]

This is where Ferguson should have insisted to Lampard to read a list of players that will flatter to deceive and should be put in the bin

 

[thebluebullet]

We usually do ok against the better teams. Even this season had some decent performances however City way too good for us to even contemplate anything but a slapping.

Spurs will beat us aswell,they won't lose 3 on the bounce at home when we are everybody's cure for a bad run. Soton first clean sheet in 14 today.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Nah, not having that whatsoever. Absolute load of bollocks.

There is a lot of competition tbf. I think the way Benitez set us up to play was criminally poor and awful to watch.

But against Newcastle and Southampton, Lampard has set us up to press and we completely crumbled against not very good opposition. The amount of long-balls in both games (particularly this one)was ridiculous and played right into opposition hands.

This isn't digging out Lampard. I'm really happy we appointed him and I couldn't stand Benitez. I wrote plenty on here about how bad a manager he is long before he made my eyes bleed by having to watch his Everton team.

But, the performances against Southampton and Newcastle were definitely two of our worst.
