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

[TheBigIguana]

Ings is playing so well, dropping off as a 10 and Adams is stretching the play. We can’t fill the gaps

Allan isn't really plugging the gaps like I think people think he is.

 

[Lelouch]

lads we have James and DCL we have stunk the gaff out, We've not turned up at all, no pressing nothing.

 

[Saint Domingo]

These are the tests they’re going to have to overcome if they want CL football this season. Are they just going to wilt here or have a go in the second half?

 

[MikeH72]

We all lose it’s the manner in which we lose and this is pathetic.

If we lost a close game by a goal or two fair enough but this is unacceptable. It’s literally like we started against Liverpool last week. I really don’t know what’s happened to them.

Two key players have gone out the side.

 

[sladen90]

Sorry but to say pickford should do better on the second goal is laughable!!

 

[brieverton]

Get Gordon and Nkounkou on, they will play like it means something to them. Must pull a goal back asap and sow some doubt in them.

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

Gylfi and Iwobi have to come off here, i’m not even bothered if we don’t bring anyone on to replace the latter

 

[Kure]

Should have put Nkounkou right back

 

[mightymoyes]

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.

Who has 3 first team rightbacks?!

 

[Goat]

It means we have adequate cover for Richarlison and someone else to do something if James has an off day like he’s having today

Does that stop us conceding 2 terrible goals?

Does that stop them running through our midfield?

Does that stop them doing what they like down the left?

 

[JohnTheBlue]

We’ve been found out

expect more teams to follow suit

 

[GrandOldTeam]

It's easy to say they wanted it more, but.... they did.

All over the pitch too.

Maybe we miss Coleman more than we think - Godfrey looks demented at full back which gave them some confidence down there.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Allan isn't really plugging the gaps like I think people think he is.

that’s because Sigurdsson is walking around in front of him letting runners go right left and centre.

 

[andy4efc]

Bench is pretty poor as well.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Just watched their second goal again at HT. Their LB gets the ball and 7 of our players are on in view in Saints half, not closing just there. 1 simple ball infield to Ings and they are 3 on 3 down the left.

Horrific.
