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

Was that before or after standing as far away as humanly possible from the empty side of the goal the whole universe knew JWP was going to hit the ball into?!?......

He could've stood on the other side and Ward Prowse would've put it in the other corner. It's pretty good at freekicks, the thing you need to do is not give them away in stupid positions.

Did a 12 hour round trip to get to the game, most let down I have felt as a fan. The effort and courage in this team is soul destroying.

With everything going on today, I just wanted to mention that I thought the best shout was by 40k Evertonians singing

"Your not fit to wear the shirt".

Take away the manager and his massive limitations to get them up and running

Take away the DoF who is lolling like a duck in an ocean against a tidal wave

Take away the board which are an embarrassment to our club

Take away an owner who I'd rather replace with Orville (kids of the 80s will understand)

That last 15/20 minutes was a disgrace. They are abysmal at football so the least you ask is for commitment, desire, workmate, be first to every ball. Nothing. Absolutely nothing

Dreadful squad. Dreadful attitude. Once we get relegated we'll hear stories from these no marks of how it was impossible to perform.

They're a disgrace to their profession and a disgrace to this club.

To be honest we could have peak Van Nistelroy or Shearer, it wouldn’t matter.

Any striker needing to live on such scraps for service is gonna be academic anyway

True. That’s why I stated to stop all this Gray , McNeil and Gordon nonsense. But it’s not just them , it’s everywhere .
Not many goals from our defenders. Not much from midfield. Our wing play is useless. And we approach every match with one forward isolated up front. I’d just like to see something different. Go 4-4-2. With 4 proper midfielders. No wingers. And 2 up front. Let’s just see that formation for a few matches. Try something different. Not much imagination from Lampard with his team selections. Getting fed up with these defensive set ups . And we still keep conceding goals., Not very clever management from Lampard.
And yes , proper strikers would struggle with our present set up. That’s even more reason why Lampard should be changing things. But I’ll bet anything ,that it’s a similar set up next week.
A loaded defence. That can’t defend. A couple of defensive midfielders. Who offer nothing going forward. Our usual couple of wingers ( take your pick ). And one man up front. Nothing new . Nothing different. And most likely another match wasted. More points dropped.
What a football club. What a mess.

A good post but it sounds like you want Lampard to be still here next week, that can’t be good news for any of us fans surely.

I really want Lampard gone. Gone by Monday morning. Give a new guy the week to get something sorted. I know that’s not much time , but just look at what Frank Lampard has managed since the World Cup. Nothing. A big fat nothing. But as much as I want Lampard gone , our board are useless., I’m resigned to the fact that Lampard will be here for the West Ham match. And the inevitable will happen. We get beat., And this nonsense carries on into another week. And we waste even more time.
Lampard won’t change anything for next week. Lampard doesn’t even know when to bring a sub on. He has to go. But considering that our board are even more dithering than Lampard is. The trigger will most likely be pulled around March. Aaarrgghh. What’s the point.
Ps……I want Lampard gone. But if he is to stay , then just try something different. But you just know that he won’t. Good night.

We are the Coventry City of the 21st century.

When Ward-Prowse takes a free kick, why wouldn't you put a couple of big defenders on the goal line? It doesn't matter how many there are in the wall.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin hits the bar. If Gordon could finish then we would have gone 2-1 up against Wolves. We just never take our chances. Get Pochettino or Tuchel in straight away. If they don’t go for the job then get onto Bielsa. He will have them running for their lives. None of them, then Big Dunc back, at least we gl down fighting.

I want Pochettino at Leeds you have Tuchel. Alot of Leeds singing for JMs head at Villa. A poor manager, players form has gone backwards since he has arrived,you are not the only club with problems. It's a right scrap at the bottom..

Post of the decade mate, absolutely spot on!

The only player yesterday who stood up was onana. Thought he had a good game. Hopefully he is growing into the English game. Still has lots to learn but good signs.

Yeah, saw Forest employ that distract tactic and it worked

 

[Mr PEN86]

Don't see what player that'll want to join with all the headlines surrounding our club right now. Goodison is like going home to a marriage that's on the rocks. Playing away might actually be a blessing tbh

The sad thing is apart from Onana Pickford and DCL the team next season V Preston will be what you seen yesterday, the above 3 will be gone to pastures new

Lampard has to go this week.......it's our only chance. And that's a very slim chance.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Sounds weird but I'd take Lucas Moura on a free.
