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

[Norwegian Cow]

Very fortunate not to be behind.

Sigurdsson nowhere near involved enough. Richarlison and Keane both poor. Gomes has been generally solid but his passing forward has been largely gash. Bernard and Lookman looking decent though.

Feel like we're going to need to replace both Richarlison and Sigurdsson if we have any ambitions of top 6.

gomes solid?? he has been turd mate

 

[banno]

Southampton at there most dangerous when Everton attack

 

[Parker]

Sigurdssons been rubbish. Straight 442 with DCL up front with Richarlison?

 

[billybeeru]

Gomes, Gylfi and Richarlison have all been really poor. That’s the spine of the team. They need to step up second half.

 

[daza_1973]

We don’t like first halves......

Or second halves...

 

[GrandOldTeam]

I'd take Gomes off. He's been off it a few weeks, we need something else in the middle of the park.

I think he's carrying an injury or struggling with the game time/intensity.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Well that was both dreadful and predictable.

Richarlison can’t play CF as he can’t play with his back to goal, everything just keeps coming straight back at us.

 

[peteblue]

He’s lowering his asking price from Barca. Playing the long game.

Down to about £3M now.......

 

[Sy-]

Ref not in control of this, way too many nibbles being allowed in the midfield, matter of time before someone else gets injured.

 

[Billy Dean]

Probably goes without saying, but we could do with switching it up here.

The players look like they just don't trust each other. Concerning.

You know that won’t happen till we go 1 down on the hour

 

[Deco]

Hopefully Marco has a similar half time team talk to last week. The 3 points are very much still up for grabs but we've been very poor today.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Disgusting half of football, as we're used to. No excuses for Silva here. He's got many good players at his disposal but he's massively underperforming virtually every week. The football is dire. If BFS was 2/10 for style then Silva is perhaps a 3 or 4/10. Just not working at all.

 

[Peely]

What has happened to Gomes this last month? Every pass in that first half seemed to be cut out, blocked or just straight to a Southampton player.

 

[collymcd]

I'd take Gomes off. He's been off it a few weeks, we need something else in the middle of the park.

I think he's carrying an injury or struggling with the game time/intensity.

Ever since he took a knock in the middle of a game he hasn't looked the same. Think it was against Spurs?

 

[TheBigIguana]

Something has to be done in midfield. Either Gylfi or Gomes off
