Match Thread Everton v Southampton 1/3/21 - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[mahermi1]

Well battled, well won three points, another clean sheet. And a home win!

 

[OneTrueLegend]

Well we certainly made hard work of that. Glad to get the 3 points but the last 20 minutes were not good for the old heart. I would say Alan MOTM for me. He seemed to be able to pick the ball off them, so easily, sometimes without them even noticing

 

[BlueTX]

Clean sheet. About the only good thing one can take away from that turgid affair.

 

[Efcjake]

Beat Villa in that game in hand and we're 4th. UTFT

 

[Paul Rideout]

the subs strategy tonight reminded me of a previous manager I’ve blocked my memory of.

Not a fan. But we won. So he’s right and I’m wrong.

 

[blueconverse]

Its abit silly moaning when we won but our game management is just awful. Also Atkinson is still an utter scumbag

 

[Neiler]

Grind it out, a skill we’ve often struggled with.

Happy with and to see that.

We owed them one.

 

[Dixieslaces]

Well in Toffees, ground it out!

Onwards and upwards!

Toffee Forever.

Actual goals 1 clear cut big fifa chances 9

Damn it everton. Why do you have to win boring and be a win away from 4th.

Bring back Silva

 

[Alan Whittle]

Everton put the work in for that. Not exactly stylish but well deserved.

 

[DanB90]

One for the purists.

 

[Jamesblue90]

Awful performance, on par with the other home losses.

We should be thankful that Southampton are badly off form and in free fall, otherwise that would have been another loss.

 

[Milkman]

Get in. Utterly dreadful performance again though. We really really have to improve on the ball.

 

[Zatara]

Hope Pickford is ok...

Seemed to be limping near the end and when he came off.

How was that mins injury time

 

[Amokachi1995]

Like a 2am pull in a night club. Not the prettiest but it did the job.
