Match Thread Everton V Southampton 3pm Monday 2nd January

[maccavennie]

Played a lot better once Valencia came on. Robles made a couple of very important saves at important times of the match.

Still too disjointed for my liking but will take the 3 points and great to grab 3 goals as well. Barkley much better today, Davies was excellent, great goal from Lukaku but my MOTM goes to Valencia, right place at the right time for the 1st and won the pen for the 2nd

Barry should never see a starting place in that side ever again

God bless you Ronald Koeman

Can't decide between Lukaku or Davies MOTM

Or Barkley or even Valencia.

Nice to have candidates for MOTM instead of trying to work out who was the worst player

 

[Huyton Layne]

Can't be correct but NBC just showed a graphic that had Valencia with 100% pass completion

Something I like about Davies too; he is fearless, good on the ball and he can pick a pass. Might have a gem on our hands

@Michaelcoyb can you go every game from now on lid haha

Really odd that we only seem to turn up in the second halves of matches.

But good result nonetheless.

I think we ought to play the second half twice.

The difference when we cut out the hoofing and keep it on the floor.

I've been swayed

 

[when i score we riot]

The team looks like they are actually playing together today. Southampton were a bit poor but I like to think that team spirit won us this one

 

[Saaby]

Gana was off the pace today thats expected though since he played a thousand minutes in a week and had to cover miles for our lazy team. Good result

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Turgid until the last 20 minutes then really rather good. Superb Tom Davies, well played Ross and Rom too.

God bless you Ronald Koeman

He got it right today, good selection and good subs.
