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

[Drico]

Hello Darkness, my old friend.

 

[Wolf8312]

Think even our first 11 loose here today, they are just better, have more energy and more ideas going forward.

For some reason this Southampton team play well to our wekanesses,

Especially defensively today they have completely nullified us going forward. Parking the bus in the second half but still, out fought and out thought tactically.

 

[Connor]

Flat out awful

Why is it always Southampton away?

 

[superkeeper]

Can we not bother with added time please?

 

[twoblue]

James not the player when the chips are down.

 

[JLW]

Lads were top of the league chill out

 

[mightymoyes]

That's solid maths there, well in.

Still didn't say we needed 3.

You said we needed a right back cos only having Coleman and jjk wasn't enough. Now I'll say this slowly, if we add 1 to the 2 we already have that equals 3.

Worst part is that this is exactly as Lawrenson predicted.

First time he’s got it right in about 15 years, 2020 gets wilder and wilder

 

[Nymzee]

You’ve just named two players. He made three subs.

Three subs did nothing to change the game but have left us with an injured James having to play 20 minutes.

I was giving examples of players that were having a shocker. You're just sat there wearing your hindsight hat.

If James wasn't hobbling around would you now be complaining about the 3 early subs?

No, you wouldn't.

Iwobi out
Siggy out

Both nowhere near good enough for our club

 

[andy4efc]

Don’t think Rico playing makes one bit of difference today

I think you underetimate his influence on a game. Offers so much more than anyone else in that left role. Daft by him last week.

 

[Drumblue]

Pickford has to show his clown act each game

Ffs pickford.

 

[kenada_blue]

James not the player when the chips are down.

Injured for about 20mins

 

[Houghty19]

We were always going to have a performance like this at some point, the big thong for me is how we respond next week. Today has been quite simply not good across the board not just one man to blame but the whole team has been awful. What we shouldn't do is try to rewrite the first 5 games of the season as not being as good as they were.

 

[Jim Hopper]

i mean he's clearly not raked his studs down the back of his leg

Might have been an accident. It was but it suits their rhetoric so. Oh wel.
