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

Even worse than the spurs game this. Can’t play this formation with them jarg heads in centre mid. I actually don’t know what our plan was today. Everyone knows southampton press in the centre and we start the standard tools in there who walk about. Lucky to be not 2-3 down.

Formation means nothing when the players just aren't bothered mate unfortunately. Add that to their lack of intelligence and ability.

 

[Tubey]

That would certainly send the correct signal that's for sure

He's shown much more athleticism and tenacity whenever I've seen him than Davies and we're sorely needing it, even if he's not good enough.

Because Davies and Sigurdsson is blatantly not good enough.

Reality is that we have struggled against a poor team. But a great goal.
Two poor teams

 

[jazzy]

The goal apart that was terrible.

However I'm not too bothered as the season was dead months ago.

What this game has demonstrated , yet again , to Brands and Moshiri that Gomes , Davies Sigurdsson and Iwobi are absolute cack and must be replaced.

The only worry that I've got is that Digne , Richarlison and Holgate CBA waiting around for the rebuild.

We have conceded some pretty unlucky goals to be fair, The Leicester one, The Spurs deflection and now a scuffed shot that turns into a silky pass. Pretty unlucky tbf.

Lee Mason

Iwobi doing an Iwobi too

 

[Darrenc34]

Kevin Campbell looking good in his suit at half time pundit with Martinez! More interesting listening to him then the play in the 1st half!

 

[JLW]

We need a minimum of 4 first team players

 

[john jako]

We dont have any other tools. Thanks Mr Brands!

Play the young tools... well that’s the usual shout. But yeh he bought Delph who was injury prone and Gbamin who didn’t have a great injury history.

 

[Deco]

Ref is a joker. They should’ve had two second yellows already, and that was surely a pen on Gordon?

How was the Gomes pen given as well? Nothing in that at all.

Ref aside, they’ve outplayed us here big time. At least we’re level.

 

[banno]

Bad performance and surely cannot be worse 2nd half. Soton deserve to be ahead but in my book they shouldn't have been given a penalty. The player basically jumped into Gomes. Our midfield is absolutely pants and to need to have to keep playing Davies is testament to the midfield shiteness. Gordon is a positive and getting better each game but is still far from being reliable. Apart from Richarlison, maybe Digne also......we look abject and devoid of guile or class.

 

[Ring master]

Never seen so many moan that say we have nothing to play for , a win and try for every game is the least we should attempt, not say games dont matter now as we are playing for nothing etc

 

[tim cahill]

Bit worried about Gomes tbf, loads of rumours he suffered mental issues at Barca, and he just conceded a non penalty and didn’t even bother protesting , and he’s just jibbed it on 40 mins.

Not great

He obviously needs time out of the team. Looks like he's struggling.

Even 4 years later I still detest this bald tit
