why? so we can say we did the same as Leeds?

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.

Quality mate, pure quality......

Weve been poor overall, allans slotted back in well. That salisu is utter pony, keep knocking it up to Dom who’s got his beating all night

Absolute rubbish first half from both teams. Never thought that I would say this , but I think that we are missing Tom tonight in the midfield.
At least we are winning , so that's a positive.
Please don't let this be another "Everton , that" match / result.

For most of that half, it's the best I've seen us play in a while especially in terms of build-up play and quick movement/passing. After the offside, we went a bit wonky but that's always going to happen at some point. People expect too much!

The worry is sitting on a 1 goal lead we dont have a Mina or a Davies to bring on to help hold on to the lead.

For me we need a 2nd early doors and kill them off.

Argh yeah forgot about Davies, that’s a blow

 

[Bigduke1234]

Right, let’s put together two decent halves of football

 

[OneTrueLegend]

Hopefully we get the 2nd goal early in the 2nd half and kill these off

 

[LocalNative]

We'll win 3-0. Southampton don't turn up in the second half.

One goal from us and they'll collapse, they always do. Go out and chase it second half, rest up ahead of Thursday.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

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

yes thought Allan looked a bit off the play and got caught in possession a couple of times.

 

[DownOnTheUpside]

Looks like the South Coast barmy army aren’t so barmy

Hard to be balmy when it’s 5 degrees mate

 

[BlueToff]

Don’t think we’ve been poor, think they’re all having decent games.

the frustration is just that if we pick up the pace, there’s another couple of goals on offer, it’s about doing that when they’re all over the place and pressing for 5-10 mins to make it happen.

Leeds have a team full of fast players, we dont. You have to play to your strengths. Ours is being solid at the back and taking the few clear chances we create.

 

[kingduncan]

We haven't been at our best but have they even had a proper chance?
