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

[TGW89]

Fun fact: If When we lose today, it will be the first time in 24 years that we have won the first fixture against a team away from home and lost the return at Goodison twice in the same season.

Last time was the 91/92 season (or 1 BC if you like) against Manchester City and **drumroll**..... SOUTHAMPTON!

Another "phenomenal" achievement for el clown and his band of useless tvvats!

Brilliant analysis of everton problems by Kevin cambell . He basically explained the problem with manager is he doesn't understand the intensity that goodison demands and that he will not get away with the style of football he plays at home. Also a comedy clip of excuses that Martinez gives after matches which was quite embarrassing. They also looked at our defense and how other teams exploit Martinez tactics time after time. With colman and baines pushing up our center mid are also caught too far forward when teams break on us so the opposition hit a long cross field ball to empty spaces in our full back positions. Our center backs get dragged out leaving Hugh gaps in middle that are not filled due to midfield not in position as too far forward. It happens time after time. It hasn't been fixed in 2 seasons.

What's up with Niasse though

That side basically says we've given up on the league, and Martinez feels under no pressure whatsoever to get results.

Some blert has just said that Koeman might take over from Wenger at Arsenal, and that Koeman wouldn't come to Everton as it would be a step down from Southampton.

Because he's been assured of his job or because he's been told he's leaving at the end of the year regardless?...

It's probably got a better chance than our first 11 of a result to be honest.
