Match Thread Southampton v Everton (Sunday 25 October 14:00)

[Saint Domingo]

Sigurdsson pointing at nothing for the first goal. He’s a complete clown.

 

[Sharpattack]

Iwobi must have been doing brilliantly in training lol

I thought about that. But what’s the alternative? Not much better

 

[Goat]

We should have bought another attacker really

We probably will in the winter window, but will that be too late?

Would love you to explain how another attacker helps us after that half?

 

[Carroll Speed]

going to blame Walcott for this debacle

 

[MrGrumpy]

Man what the hate for Iwobi? Least he had a go and yeah he made mistakes but everyone been bad, the defence has been shocking for a start and the midfield non existent and we simply can’t pass, Very throw bk to lockdown footy.
We should of had a pen

 

[TheBigIguana]

To think people didnt want Zaha either. Imagine us now with him on the left instead of Iwobi.

Gylfi been dreadful, James anonymous and Doucoure/Allan are holograms at the minute. We have an extra midfielder but are getting over run.

I still don't want Zaha

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Never mind replacing players

We are sitting back and letting Southampton dictate the play

We need to be pressing them more and forcing them into mistake and pushing higher up the pitch

We’re not keeping our shape, if we start pressing without discipline we be ripped apart even worse

 

[sparkin31]

34 million for Iwobi. Should of got boris to offer 18m and iwobi to Andy Burnham.

 

[billybeeru]

We’ve done just about everything wrong that half. No defensive discipline. No shape. No movement. No urgency.

Unfortunately with all three of Iwobi, Gylfi and James on the pitch, it leaves the midfield far too exposed since none of them contribute anything without the ball. Poor Godfrey is getting put into 2v1 situations repeatedly.

Need to get Gordon on for Iwobi and maybe Delph on for Gylfi and shift the shape a bit.

 

[sageyefc]

Nkoukou Bernard and Gordon on for Godfrey siggyfraud and iwobi please

 

[dannyboy]

People have a go at Sigs but he's played better than James and that's a fact

James is different class on the ball but we need him to put in a shift on days like this. We´re not Real Madrid playing against the dross of La Liga. If he doesn´t run, we´re in trouble down that side.

 

[paulbefc]

This is why we needed a right back for me. Even more than the centre back we got. Quite disappointed we went into the season with Coleman and Kenny. It's a gamble.

 

[riddick]

Jogging around when you opponent is running, what do you expect you weapons

 

[carolinablue232]

Get Bernard or Gordon on.

Both. Sounds like it’ll be Davies and Bernard.

 

[Marius57]

If only we had Josh King to come in and change the game for us.....
