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

[Goat]

Put Richarlison in that pretenders spot out wide and we wouldn't be 2 down.

Godfrey is not a RB and Digne has no cover as Iwobi is utterly lazy and useless

As I say, everybody has been poor, not sure you can say any player helps us after that half.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Iwobi, Digne and Godfrey all struggling today.

both full backs struggling for different reasons
One isn’t a full back and the other isn’t getting much protection - neither getting much protection to be fair.
Been disappointed as I think had we scored first they wouldn’t have come in to the game the way they have

 

[arbok]

These guys drew with Chelsea last week. They’re alright.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Not the same team effort since the international break.
Bad timing for us.

 

[faddy the blue]

We've been conceding on average 2 goals every game apart from the 1st game.

The gap between midfield and defence has been clear in each game.

By having James in LAM, the CMs must be dynamic enough to keep the ball around James. Once losing possession opposition teams have exposed James' lack of defensive skills.

Today, with Godfrey's lack of RB experience and James' defensive limitation, we have been exposed again the same against RS.

Iwobi is poor, seen enough evidence. Not good enough to beat his man, not good enough in possession or link up play. I'd rather have Gordon or Bernand.

 

[Prevenger17]

Iwobi has been shocking, slows play down every time with too many little touches before looking up. Would love to see his pass accuracy as well.

This is it. One of his strengths is supposed to be his passing, but he's lingering on decisions too long as his position quickly worsens, there were a couple of moments he could have laid it off to Digne

 

[windymiller]

I still don't want Zaha

You want Iwobi playing, says all you need to know about your "insights".

 

[daza_1973]

Come on Carlo don't let us be out foxed by an Austrian cockwomble.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Need to up the intensity and be much sharper second half. Still points in this for us.

 

[Lloydystark]

Be nice if Iwobi could complete a pass to a player in blue.

Or green

 

[Jim Hopper]

That right hand side issue needs fixing ASAP. Godfrey getting battered.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Bernard shouts are awful. Last player we need on the pitch when we’re already struggling to compete.

Gordon on for Iwobi, Nkounkou or even Tommy D for Godfrey.

Gomes for Sig around the 60-70 mark.

 

[Tipp blue]

Calvert Lewin not in the game at all. His movements been poor

Hard for a striker to get into a game when the midfield are having a nightmare.

 

[Stephen Gibson]

Absolutely nothing on our right side from attack. Everything goes to Iwobi on the left who wastes most things he touches. We miss Coleman. Coleman's forward movement pulls players towards him creating more space centrally & on the left so when James pings balls wide, the receiver has more time & space. Godfrey needs to use his pace a bit & go more forward. Our players naturally seek out the left so we need to beef up the right side to change this game.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Gomes on and back to a midfield three please. Sigurdsson is just wandering about all over the place and they’re playing through us.
