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

[IV(AC)]

Happy Blue tonight!
Good second half performance.
Cant say I was expecting that but stirring stuff.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Well that was an absolute treat second half. Desire, intensity and some good togger too. Great comeback and a massive result. Good subs at the tight time too. Gray looks like a great bit of business.

 

[Librarian]

Patchy at times but more tempo than I’ve seen in a while

 

[Dixieslaces]

Did not get the responses it deserves

Cheers fella

 

[jamieni]

Good result. Will take that first game of the season. Well played blues.

 

[Milkman]

While it lasts

Oh my god I want this guy to always do our commentary

 

[messymascot]

If we get Godfrey and Mina back in at CB and Gbamin to rotate with Doucoure and Allan even if we just use James and Kean from the bench maybe the only position we need is a RB. We aren't finishing top 4 but maybe not as bad as the 11th-14th that I was thinking before the season started.

Thank you Everton for not putting a downer on the rest of the weekend and stopping me being a ball of pent up rage. A few more weekends like this would be most appreciated, ta

 

[Dixieslaces]

How’s that tank? ?

Credit where its due!

 

[Verbal Kint]

Mate, it has been embarrassing watching them vent their crap for thew whole summer before a ball was even kicked.

It's crazy mate, spoilt brat behaviour. And shocking to to listen and read it, mentally drained from it. Thank God so social media around the time Brett Angel and Stu Barlow leading the line with Preki and Beagrie feeding the bullets, Mayhem

….I thought the CB pairing was a strange selection, but we won the game.

Richarlison is such an effective footballer, I’m amazed he has his detractors on here because he sulks. He’s just terrific and was outstanding today but I thought Doucoure was the stand-out performer even before he scored.

Some posters on here have been slating Doucoure for his lack of ability in comparison to Rodriguez but as I highlighted, he offers so much all over the pitch. Don’t expect many finishes like that this season but it topped off a MoM performance, chuffed for him.

Bit harsh on old Moise than - He was back at the hotel swimming in beak and brasses

Probably

Hahaha... true. Typing with thumbs is never a good idea!?

 

[navidson]

Gray might not be the sexiest player we've ever signed - but my god it opens up the pitch when you have a bit of pace in the side

 

[Bkk Andy]

Perhaps one or other CBs.

Mina who's barely trained or Branthwaite who needs a loan to develop. With a a squad like ours there aren't a lot of options

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Not even watched the match and I’m still voting MOTM as Richarlison. Imagine strolling back a week after winning a gold medal, announcing you don’t need a rest and then banging in a goal and getting an assist.

Premium BDE from the lad.
