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

[deipnosophist]

In fairness to our brave lion hearts, maintaining an unbeaten record was placing a bit too much pressure on them and coupled with the homesickness wracking over half the squad, today’s result is hardly surprising...expect MANY more of them this season

 

[BigBlueConk]

Today we have looked like the worst team in the league.
A badge worn by Fulham until this game.

Be interesting to see how the players respond.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

We're a laughing stock today. Hopefully Carlo sorts it out and we go from here

Job done by media looks like they have got to the team... And we are crawling back into our box!

 

[JohnTheBlue]

What selection would you have done differently out of interest? We have a decnet first 11 and then little quality in reserve.

Not wrong like, our squad is garbage

 

[Brennan]

Probs because we were 2-0 down at the time and playing awfully.

Oh really, hadn’t noticed.

At least it puts the nail in the coffin for a few players

 

[Wat Tyler]

Got beat, no one really has played well, created nothing, haven’t even seen their keeper second half, Digne suspended for three games, and James carrying a knock. Sigh.

 

[Petit]

We´ve been incredibly overhyped this season. We´re not as good as we think we are. We have one world class player, a young striker on a scoring streak and a decent left back.

Allan and Doucoure have been found out against Soton and Liverpool.

Also, wasn´t Doucoure supposed to be box-to-box. I was expecting to see him run with the ball through the lines. He´s seemed very passive so far.

 

[Death]

Richy a big miss. Any disaster for Ev them RS are never to far away from it.

 

[Mozza1987]

For me it's the complete lack of urgency and effort since being 2 down that worries me from this game. Hopefully just a bad day.

Gomes and gordon instead of gylfi and iwobi

 

[Nymzee]

Oh really, hadn’t noticed.

You'd have complained if we made no subs to players like Iwobi and Sig so you can't have it both ways.

 

[R.Reddington]

James defo been injured since minute one, I could tell.

 

[Prevenger17]

You are mistaken. It was not a challenge at all. It was clear accidental tangling of legs. Please explain what is reckless about running behind a player?

He lashed out his leg when he was nowhere near the ball in a clear moment of frustration. As I said, it could have been just a yellow, but you take your chances. In light of the tackle just before it, he got red. This is on Lucas

 

[Zatara]

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

For running behind a player and an accidental coming together?

No mate.
