Match Thread Everton v Southampton, 16th April 2016 KO 15:00

[Ashtonian]

As much as this game was a write off for me so I'm not even annoyed about the scoreline it makes me a little uneasy.

We have a semi final next sat and all we seem to be doing is poor displays every game. It's almost like we are doing the opposite to getting up for a cup game!

For me, rest lukaku, play kids in Derby and just for fun niasse because it's going to be entertaining when he gets on the pitch.

How did crowd react after game?

cheering and bringing up the banners that we should give Martinez a new 5-year contract.

Southampton 51% possession, 18 shots, 4 on target, 10 corners.

Everton, 49% possession, 7 shots, 2 on target, 3 corners.

We were very lucky.

 

[nsno-chris]

we have though. Early this season we let in a goal for every second attack the opponents had. Diffference then was that the opponents didnt have that many attacks as we controlled the game alot more

Top bantz

Southampton had 15 shots to our 4, they hit the woodwork twice, we were lucky today.

Oh FYI, did you see the goal.we conceded lol top defending

Under the cosh most of the game but unsurprising considering the team put out. Oviedo was embarrassed today by tadic and we need an overhaul of players. I would rather us have 2 proper full backs who only venture forward when necessary and are able to swing wicked crosses in. Our back line is so open and exposed they need to stay back. Our midfield is the weakest defensively I have seen for years. Space and time is not something you can allow in this league without being punished yet our midfield give it to everyone. Just a bit on there goal was no-one got goal side, they all stayed parallel making it easier. Think Baines was right with the no chemistry part. We don't look like a team at all just a bunch of individuals. We need speed and quick thinking if we are to move on or we will end up sitting ducks for most teams.

How did crowd react after game?

Lots of booos, and empty seats.

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

What's the point waiting. Get rid now. In the tunnel, changies, not arsed get rid NOW. The next two games could be very embarrassing and set us back years. Wouldn't even let him get in front of a camera to spout his usual delusional drivel.

Sheedys players looked better than most of who were on the field that tells you something Bobby???

...so made up for Tom Davies, his family will be rightly proud.

why are u not made up for Connelly? And wont his family be proud?

 

[Turpentine]

Basically....
Team looked short of confidence.
Nothing sticking up front, Kone get in the box!
Mirallas looked up for it but faded.
Big gaps in midfield.
Two young lads did well.
I was never in any doubt they would equalise (sadly).

Match was meaningless to be honest.

18 attempts on goal Southampton had to our 7.
