Match Thread Southampton vs Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Mase]

close games that we aren’t losing. Not falling apart when we concede. Big differences

 

[Toffeepot]

I think Onana, Gana & Iwobi's international games massively caught up with them in that second half. With so many games coming up we really need to be smart with our use of subs to keep these three going as much as possible because we lost the midfield pretty quickly once they dropped off.

we'll be alright. No Europe. Our next two opponents have to juggle that

I thought Birtles was on the money most of the time.

Really? When he and his co-commentator hadn't even bothered to find out that Gordon was being rested for feeling under the weather?

 

[Ray Purchase]

Fantastic win, unbeaten in the last six.

Another striker in the Jan transfer window, and we are looking good.

Should be quite a few fan videos of that McNeill goal with how quick it came after Coady.

super result. Really good 60 mins. Off it for 30 but defence were superb.

 

[rochdaleblue]

Well done Blues. Stating the obvious this is a game we would have lost last season. What was most pleasing is the character to come from behind and win. Coady mom for me.

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Remember how bad we were at Southampton away last season. Go a goal down and we were dead last season.

Easy to see we’re drawing and winning games we would have lost last season

Might be time for you to go back out again.

Think we turned it around okay though?

I'll take it, not often we a) win away and b) come from behind to win (away especially).

 

[bluerobert]

Anyone needs cheering up read pages 44-54 , magic…..

I did what you said and it’s a rollercoaster of emotion. People still fuming about Southampton’s goal when Dwight McNeal had already put us 2-1 up. Pure chaos. I love it

 

[DanEFC92]

Great win that.

I assumed you went back out, mate, was going to vote for you or the hound in the poll

 

[Terrarian]

I thought Birtles was on the money most of the time.

That doesn't surprise me given how negative you are as well.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Well in Lids.

 

[Oasis1878]

Get in!

Two games I've not watched this season... two wins. Think I'll give the next one a miss!

Have we finally learnt how to see a game out? That was the classic away performance, Coady looks a very good player, motm for me. My only complaint was that we really were more than one goal better than them. The last 10 minutes would have been far less uncomfortable had we have had a 2 goal cushion. All that said, the difference from last season is marked. We look like a mid table side, which is progress. I think we can gradually build something here if we keep the faith.
