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

Hows that a red + VAR as well.

Disgraceful decision.

Easy red... And we'd expect it the other way too.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

yes

Then we should

The slide was going to start sooner or later lads.
Great work by Carlo early games, but the reality is we have a way to go yet.
We still have too many poor/average squad players.

 

[Thomasc]

It’s only 1 game, they are decent, we aren’t going to win every game, just a disappointing performance all round though.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Welcome back Everton, we've been expecting you.

 

[Carroll Speed]

Great save Jordan, MOTM

 

[RomanReigns]

We could do a Chelsea and register Leighton Baines for next week

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

15 mins to get 2 goals...

With 10 men. While playing putridly.

 

[MockBu4]

That definitely looked accidental.

maybe, but this piece of something was just standing on the guy's achilles tendon

 

[JohnRoss23]

When is Holgate due back?

 

[banno]

DCL in Westergards pocket. We do need another different type of forward to mix things up. The old fashioned forward can only feed off service...cut that service and the CF is isolated. Take Danny Ings for example

 

[Drumblue]

Doing my head Southampton. Every tackle, rebound, deflection etc falls nicely for them. One of them games where it all falls the oppositions way.

We're rubbish m8.

 

[arbok]

Nkounkou should be starting anyway.

Over digne?

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Why is Anthony Gordon marking Vestegaard ffs?!

 

[neilsyd]

The thing is too. Our plan b is just worse players trying to do plan A.
Teams have worked out that if you stop James then we have very little creativity. It was easier earlier in the season as we were unpredictable. The most worrying aspect for me here though has been how easily our midfield has been walked through.
