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

[DanB90]

I keep seeing “we made hard work of that”.

Pickford made one save didn’t he?

 

[Steve EFC]

I know its 3 points but that was disgraceful.

It was certainly a case of grinding out 3 points sort of game

 

[Amw79]

The obligatory 3 extra minutes of injury time played, but we got over the line.

Not great, but a very good 3 points, Saints were full of energy and pressing which causes us problems, but other than the vital save at the end, it was a quiet night for Pickford.

The commentary team of Tyler and Beglin was the worst I’ve ever heard. Proper seething after the derby and didn’t even try to hide it.

 

[big nev lookalike]

Scappy win but who cares. 3 more points and closer to the top 4. Well taken goal and solid defending,passing a bit dodgy.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Nobody was great nobody was rubbish.. job done. Not sure who I'll give MOTM to.

Thought DCL was brilliant didn’t have much to work with but did a great job all over. My MOTM.

 

[jayden28]

Wins a win.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Can't argue with that really. Pretty flat for most of it but can't argue with a win and another clean sheet.

Gomes my MOTM.

 

[NathDogg]

Great three points that - really wanted to demolish alpine Klopp but a wins a win.

Can't believe some of the shouts on ere - did you lot not see the Fulham/Newcastle/Leeds results at Goodison or something?!

 

[Bluebirdie]

James, Davies.. You were missed!

 

[allen]

Nobody was great nobody was rubbish.. job done. Not sure who I'll give MOTM to.

My feelings exactly. You default to the lazy co-commentator’s choice and go with the winning goal scorer in these scenarios.

 

[Connor]

Well in the Serie A toffees

 

[BlueToff]

What did Allan give us in that game, all I remember is him getting to the ball and clearing it straight to their CMs and nearly letting Ings in at the end dithering on the ball. Should have been off way before then......

Jesus Christ. He’s been out 3 months. Made some important interventions but yes looked rusty at times.

who you playing there instead?

Problem is it shouldn't be.

Games like this at home should be bread and butter wins.

 

[TheNinja]

No improvement at all. Dreadful.

3pts is an improvement... And first half our intensity and closing down was much better than recent games

 

[ForeverEverton]

All that aside, its 3 points, but bloody hard to watch. Saints ended with more shots on target didnt they?
