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

Happy we won, not happy with the win. If you can’t see the amount of problems that we have then you may well be blind.

Also golf isn’t a sport.

‘ happy we won, not happy with the win ‘

Read that back slowly a few times

Log off for the night mate

Insane that a win against Norwich could potentially move us up to 5th.

Don’t do it to yourself

Enjoy the win, grab a bottle and watch X factor

The league is stronger than its ever been. Soton are a pretty good team yet they find themselves languishing in relegation territory. It will be difficult for Everton to overhaul City and RS, but our team of lion hearts is made of tough stuff and I have high confidence in how our team will perform

The league is proper toilet apart from the top 4.

 

[ToffeeTim]

We lose enough so I can't understand anyone who would rather we had lost.

We would have been slap bang in trouble if we'd lost.

Key now is to back it up with another win at home after the break.

 

[Eggs]

....we are so much better than these teams, it really is a positive that we might have progressed more than our league position reflects.

A concern of Silva’s tactical ability is that we’ve lost games where we’ve been clearly superior. Brands strategy, though, might be working in that we simply have better players.

Have to own up to not watching the full game (been out drinking Guinness) or being a fan of Holgate as a CB, but from what I did see he gets my MoM. I’ve never doubted the game matters to Holgate, I fear for him physically at CB but he coped fine today.

 

[banno]

I'll say something, Holgate looks much better beside Mina then Keane has.

He is certainly growing into the role. Looking more reassured with each passing game. Looks bossy also which bodes well.

 

[Groan]

Winning (no matter how) builds confidence.. we have been starved of a run of results and I hop we can build on this.

Nobody is sabotaging us, has a vendetta (insert your favourite conspiracy theory) .. we just have been mismanaged from top to bottom. It’s now up to the players and coach to give us some momentum... sins are easily forgiven or forgotten if we get 3 points

 

[Cels]

Not the most convincing of wins, but 3pts is 3pts. It was the same old story of not being able to convert possession and pressure into goals and see the game off in the first half, then letting the opposition back into the game during the second half. A bit nervy at times, but at least we got the win.

Picked Mason Holgate for MotM. Thought he did well again.

 

[Monster Ultra]

Huge result.

 

[BlueLee]

So nice to be sat on the coach on the way home with 3 points! Been awhile

 

[roy vernon]

Young Tommy D again m.o.m. for me, closely followed by Mason Holgate. Holgate and Mina could develop into a very useful partnership.

 

[Ducans elbow]

Holgate and Davies know what this clubs about showed the older players how it's done

 

[atrottel]

Mason Holgate MOM although it could have been Tom Davies or Mina. A wee bit concerned about Digne's form (from the high standard he has set) although he still puts himself about. Still unsure if Sidibe is the answer. He does some good stuff but then is caught way out of position or beaten badly by a decent PL winger. (Still, tbf, same as Coleman and Kenny...)
