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

[Zezti]

Richy my motm for the excellent finish

 

[Verbal Kint]

Most frustrating victory ever. Killer instinct or lack off nearly cost us 2 points. I think i would have combusted if we conceded. Thank God that chance fell to Vestergaard and not Ings.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Next game we’ll have Davies & James back. TBF Gomes had a good game tonight give him his dues.

 

[sheedys left foot]

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

Pickford made one save didn’t he?

They’re referring to those of us that had to watch all 96 minutes of it

 

[witchdoc187]

No, to avoid the usual agony of getting through the last 20 minutes when we are only 1 - 0 up,

It was agony TBF mate. But we ended our poor run.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

I literally said he was Norwegian.

Jokes don’t work when you have to get the overhead projector out.

I can see that. Thought it was fairly obvious I was taking the nick by asking of gloves are barred on Norway, ffs.

Anyway, Everton won, that's the main thing.

 

[Death]

Pure everton to lose a game after finally winning a derby....

Oh wait we won

But we just about won and made a meal of it. I NEED TO BE OUTRAGED ALL THE TIME

 

[steele]

Gomes had his best game so far this season. Keane was always a threat on set pieces and is my MOTM

 

[riddick]

It's a half. Id love 3 more but I'll settle for not allowing any in at this point.

We play such terrible football. But we won. Save the griping for another day.

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

I said to my dad that Southampton could play until midnight and not score, I think the ref took that as a challenge. God knows where he got 5+ minutes of injury time from!? Grinding out a decent win against a distinctly average team, shades of last weekend now i think of it

 

[Brownie]

Lol at Nathan Redmond.

 

[Blue Roo]

Godfrey for me.
Moved to CB and made it look easy

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

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

We ended with more goals though.

 

[BlueToff]

Problem is it shouldn't be.

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

Yeah, I think the burden of the home form was obvious

don’t think Carlo helped, though. Stress again I actually think the team did okay, but he has to change it up quicker

 

[Bob Latchford]

we won and finally ... we won at home

It was ugly, but it does me.

sounds like my motto during a brief rebound phase many years ago.....
Dark days.....
