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

[Bullens Rd]

We're safe and we're not getting Europe. Get Davies, Sigurdsson and Iwobi out the side and get 3 lads from the u23s in.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Look in fairness he keeps playing totally underperforming players. How davis/siggy / iwobi keep getting games is beyond me. The lads on bench must be completely useless

He has no choice in all fairness. Our team as a whole is a disgrace. Very little Premier League talent amongst them.

 

[Seathestars]

Badly lacking a leader on the pitch.
Too many hide, Gilfy and Davies to name just two, you can’t afford to have just one hiding at this level.
We badly need a touch of class in midfield to go with our other touch of class Richarlison.
This could be a different side with just one leader pulling the strings.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Speaks volumes when you have to change formation half way through a game because your midfield two are being dominated by romeu and ward prowse.

We should have been three one down at half time. Carlo doing his best with utter dog dirt in midfield. We couldn't keep the ball and we're second to every ball, struggling and playing like the away team at home. The shift to 352 probably saved us a point.

 

[Obes]

Somehow we’ve walked away with a point which, in some ways, is quite impressive considering. Slight improvement in the second half but overall a turd of a performance.

Overcoming that obese official, I think, is quite the achievement. He tries his damndest to prevent us from getting anything. A minor miracle we have in my view.

With uninspired play all over the pitch, the most pitiful performance of all was Lee Mason's.

 

[mahermi1]

Southampton much the better footballing side overall but it's always nice to have a twelfth man, even if he is as much of a mess as Lee Mason.

 

[kiss the crest]

Got outplayed there by Southampton

 

[brigadier]

Seriously have to consider playing a goalkeeper in midfield, anything has to be better than that.

 

[BlueSpartan54]

6. Which wasn't that bad considering DCL only had 12.

Young lad Keane isn't going to cut it in the premier league.

 

[GwladysBlue]

The most pathetic, cowardly, boring club in the league.

BRANDS OUT

 

[Oasis1878]

Bet Ancelotti would be more mobile in midfield than Sigurdsson & Gomes

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

I went Digne for MoM, otherwise it was Richarlison. Good combination for the only piece of class all game.

Some shocking decisions from him.
