Match Thread Everton v Southampton 1/3/21 - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Death]

Msnbc sport is so much better than sky. Its like taking morphine after eating glass and having diarrhoea.

It's not really... we've failed to make the most of the early goal and then getting at them.

We can do that now, half time team talk from the master.

 

[kenada_blue]

Hughes would argue that Southampton have been the better side.
I would argue that he's talking out of his 'kin hoop.

No wonder he can't get a job

 

[Jim Hopper]

I actually think we've played alright - problem is we've slowed the game down instead of for me hitting it into the channels or let DCL win the flick ons.

Frustrates no end when he wins a flick on and no one is running ahead of him other than a snail in Sigurdsson.

That’s it for me, going more direct but no precision, nobody looking to move around so Dom can head or flick on.

 

[peteblue]

Duke and Allan good defensively but sloppy in possession. Switch on and finish these

Yep a few balls given away by Allan, he still looks very composed though.....

 

[JMT]

they've knocked it about nicely but done nothing with it, We've been fine but the disallowed goal has let them back in it because they know if they go 2-0 down it's curtains because they're absolute garbo.

We could have been 2 up yet Southampton are by far the better team. Our sideways and backwards is awful to watch. They pass better and play as a team whereas we boot the ball up the pitch. Yet it is 1-0, so things can get better.

How? They’ve had a spell of about 5 minutes so far where they looked like they might do something.

For all their running about frantically, we’ve controlled the game.

 

[BlueToff]

Agree. Far too much sideways and backwards when they have space behind their defence.
Our goal came from being more direct - we should be playing forwards more.

DCL has got the run of that Salisu. Use him, and then mix it up with the odd attack through to Rich.

You can do all that while still having control

 

[ForeverEverton]

you're the kind of person i need to spend more time with

He probably isnt like that when the Prozac wears off....

 

[Dharma]

It's just occurred to me that Everton football club's manager Carlo Ancelotti has casually given his star midfielder James Rodrigues the night off.

That's a mad thing.

The life of luxury for a luxury player.

 

[optatom154]

Not saying we’ve been great but we’ve been okay, Southampton have been terrible so far without a shot on target and supposedly they’ve been the better side according to Mark Hughes?

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Hasn't he played more minutes than any other player?

Needs a rest.

Yeah, I agree, was going to add this.

 

[witchdoc187]

Ffs we are winning and the commentators still want to put our team down

so do 90% of the posters on here haha

 

[Street end man]

Last time we scored a goal at that end and from that angle was by Bally against the sh*te

 

[4737carlin]

Can’t wit for the netto klopp to get the sack

If we win with ease it will be all about them being bad, no praise for us.
