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

Thats my point, why was he still on. Nothing like bringing them back slowly....

In answer to your question Doucoure with Iwobi coming on where Doucs was playing RCM

Cause Carlo thought it was an easy enough game to let him get back up to speed? And we won.

The lads took a well deserved day off.

Richarlison my MoM, apart from his brilliant goal he was all over the pitch.

Special mentions for Michael Keane and Jordan Pickford.

 

[Jim Hopper]

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......

For who? Did you see the bench we had no CMs in there and only other option would be to bring Sigurdsson back. Be thankful we got 90mins out of him he’ll come good again in a few weeks when he’s back 100%

 

[Dixieslaces]

Awful performance, on par with the other home losses.

We should be thankful that Southampton are badly off form and in free fall, otherwise that would have been another loss.

Why do you even watch????

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

Haha. I'm fuming we weren't 5 up at half time so I could relax. Selfish blues

Good win. Never really felt threatened by Saints. Only really that Djenepo chance that had me worried. Pickford distribution was superb all game.
Thought DCL did a lot of holding up, winning fouls/throws when having no support.

 

[Hickson9]

Grim.

But the victory is all that matters now.

On to WBA and a chance at getting in to 4th.

 

[JMT]

Worthy winners, not hard to see why United stuffed these 9-0 really poor outfit, pass it about nicely though.

 

[ForestBlue]

We don't have that killer instinct yet do we.

Thought we were fairly comfy though and all of them good to go again in a few days so probably trying to preserve a bit of energy.

 

[ForeverEverton]

I cant pick a MOTM. It really was dreadful, Richarlison? for the only bit of quality in 90 minutes.......

 

[Wat Tyler]

All about the results, always is.
Chuffed with that win.

 

[kingduncan]

Not the best match ever but 3 points is all that really matters.

 

[collymcd]

Disciplined performance. Not expansive, open football but I actually enjoy a good hard-fought win. Good to see that mental toughness.

Pickford's had another good game. Hopefully he's put his weekly blunders behind him.

 

[helpimonfire]

Gomes gets my vote as he was everywhere

Why do you even watch????

I love us away, hate us at home.
