Southampton v Everton - Match Report and MotM Poll...

[LEONARD]

The ONLY people who emerge with any credit, are the 3,000 blues who made that long journey down South.

..2 or more conceded in every Unsworth game. The trend looks like continuing against West Ham.

Amazed folk say give him the job until the end of the season, amazed folk think we’ve improved under his tenure.

Who is saying we have improved? Surely no one is saying that. Laughable that.

 

[Zeke]

...probably @Kenshin being mischevious.

Still needs a slap the little scamp

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Close to worst i have seen. How can anyone come out of that match with credit. Shocking.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Worth pointing out that the referee was the worst homer in a long time i think it took until the 70th minute before we got a free kick which doesn't help when you are struggling to hold onto the ball.

The main issues I saw from where I sat:

1. We kept lumping it up to the smallest/weakest players on the pitch in Lennon and DCL and on the rare times where they won it, or it bounced of the defender, absolutely no one was busting a gut to win the second ball.

2. We can’t defend a set piece. Almost every corner ended up with a Southampton header, the game should’ve been over in about the first 20 mins due to this.

3. We are still playing mental formations. Sigurdsson was on the wing, Mirallas and DCL didn’t know where they were playing and why we still play Gana and Schneiderlin is totally beyond me

4. We can’t go with the runners. Southampton were playing some lovely overlapping play with wingers fullbacks and midfielders all running off each other. We couldn’t deal with that at all and would end up with 2 men on the player who’d just passed it to his mate who is now 30 yards up the wing.

5. Michael Keane. Still think you’re not good enough to be a professional footballer? This guy shows there is sill hope!

Went for Gylfi. Looked the only one capable of causing them problems. Kenny did well and DCL worked hard but with little or no support.

 

[Kurt.]

You're all overreacting. ... we will get a player or two in January and we'll be fine.

 

[Groucho]

Need a new manager before the next game.

That was garbage today.

I’d go Dyche.

 

[Kenshin]

...probably @Kenshin being mischevious.

It was admittedly.

I knew no-one else would!

 

[trueblue10]

...certainly @davek has been proposing we keep Unsworth in place until the end of the season. He was supported by others in a view that Unsworth will get us into a mid-table place because the attitude has improved.

@davek has indeed been saying give it to Unsworth for the rest of the season and we will be safe.

But now, having witnessed that appaling shambles today, even the esteemed @davek , must realise that Unsworth is completley out of his depth

Need a new manager before the next game.

That was garbage today.

I’d go Dyche.

To be honest that was complete anathema to me at the start of the week but now him, fat Sam, bring it on. We need a sea change to stop leaking goals before any one else comes in to build some positivity on that.

MOTM is really giving too much credit. Should be "who didn't suck the least."

We are grim.

Practices need to be scrapped and this team needs to go on an outward-bound confidence building trek through wicked cold mountains, armed only with a pocket knife. Then they need to yell it out in a wigwam for a few days until they can think as one. It seems everyone just hates each other, which is a poison that will kill.
