Match Thread Everton v Southampton - Tuesday 17th September - 19:45

It didn't lose us the game either.

The record books will show a loss.

Can’t believe anyone is still trying to find ways to defend that style of play. At home, to essentially the worst team in the league.

Standards have truly dropped within our fan base.

The possession doesn't really bother me yeno, rarely ever tells the full story. We should've been out of sight.

Dixon was fine. Not amazing, not awful. Got forward well a couple of times, rash in 2 tackles but had a solid final 30 minutes. Didn't disgrace himself again.

Gave away the free kick for the goal, got himself booked. Looked worried in possession except when he carried it. Got done in behind several times. This was Southampton remember? Arguably as bad as us. You wanted him to play against Villa away ffs.

This is a disgraceful way to start the last season at Goodison.

I was thinking this before. It’s an absolute insult

 

[Rita_Poon]

little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

 

[Mark barnett]

Terrible misses build up play is slower than death, all our players apart from ndiaye are scared of the ball.
Oh off the ball they are unwilling to run or switch positions all in all we are a very bad unfunny joke

 

[brownmola]

This is making me miss the liquid football of Ronald Koeman

This is making me the attacking guile and wizardry of Niasse.

If only there had been an opportunity to bring on a goalkeeper with a very good penalty record in the final minutes.

He can take a good pen too

 

[rochdaleblue]

25% posessuon at home to Southampton reserves says it all. We are totally devoid of any confidence at the moment.

 

[The Binman]

and the U21's lost to Stockport 4-1 also....

great night all round then..

 

[Toffeeslam]

Let’s face it we’re never winning this comp so the result is moot

Performance was dire though

Agree I can see why he's not played.

 

[Mase]

Massive positives today…we only conceded 1!!

 

[Street end man]

Sod it, I'm off to shoot someone in Rainbow Six, preferably any enemy that looks like our manager

Make sure you get the one rubbing its sweaty head,picking his nose followed by a damn good scratch of his hairy hole.
