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

[Toffeelover]

We have a game in hand on all those teams above us, need to make it count.

 

[DownOnTheUpside]

Just like the real klopp

although in true Nordic style with better healthcare outcomes

 

[Dykovski200]

3 points, that is all

 

[stretford blue]

Hard earned win hopefully give us a bit more confidence at home
Win on Thursday 3 PTS off 3rd spot

 

[BlueToff]

Not sure why we are so negative when sitting on a lead, got away with it quite a few times this season.

I don't think it was intentional - we did try early in the second half. But this is the thing, this is where your manager should help out.

We'd run out of ideas going forward by about the hour mark. So had they, but were obviously always gonna throw the kitchen sink at us if there was only a goal in it. So why not make that change earlier, give them something to think about.

It is daft. But, anyway, we won, and got that dreadful home record ended.

Pickford was our best passer of the ball.

I said it would be 1 of 2 things after we scored, kick on and get a few more, or hang on a touch, we nearly payed for it at the end and Everton nearly killed me lol

Just reading through the comments and happy for 3 points.. but not a performance I can celebrate. Playing that way requires massive strokes of luck and we got it today by Saints being rubbish finishers.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

I felt we should have done a bit more and put the game to bed 2nd half. There was always a danger the last 10 minutes that we concede a goal. We defended well but we invited it a bit too much towards the end of the game. A win is a win and we will move on. Win on Thursday and we are in the mix.

I don’t think you’re alone there

The Everton had a good time. Thats whats important.

 

[jaycee]

I feel like I'm watching the same game over and over,look comfortable then the last 10 minutes or so concede corner after corner,I cant pick a MOTM as I dont think anybody was outstanding in the same way nobody was poor,but please give us 1 game were we can relax for the last 10/15 minutes

 

[BlueStevie35]

Am I the only one who wasn’t bricking it watching that?

 

[Bluerover]

Thats what they do. Not happy unless theyve got something to moan about. If we win we didnt do it well enough. We only won because the other team was crap. Etc etc

I would like to know how many times we turned possession over to them unforced. That has to be sorted and quickly.

That's the point though - we're capable of getting away with it this season. It's delicious.

Bizarrely I wish I could enjoy watching us play
