Match Thread Everton v Southampton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Caolam]

Having watched that I would recommend three tactical tweaks :-

(a) I would get our players to kick the ball to a team mate;
(b) I would get our players to kick the ball forward; and
(c) I would play some somebody jn midfield.

Food for thought Carlo!

First thing Siggurdson did was duck out of a challenge.

I gave it to Digne for the pass, but could easily have been Richarlison. Gordon did okay too.

 

[ToffeeTim]

We had to change to a negative shape to be able to compete.

That sums up this bunch of abject players.

Lee Mason MOTM for only adding 2 minutes

 

[Neiler]

Even if he had a box of broken toys he didnt choose?

You can hear him yelling at them to move through the transition quickly. They aren't doing what they're training. Loads better 2nd half, but as we all know, we don;t have a midfield worth the name. Not sure how I can blame Carlo for that.

Not blaming him, just saying it’s an interesting and differing reaction by the fan base in a similar context.

We should have been three one down at half time. Carlo doing his best with utter dog dirt in midfield. We couldn't keep the ball and we're second to every ball, struggling and playing like the away team at home. The shift to 352 probably saved us a point.

I honestly had no idea just how much of a miracle worker Carlo is.
You think anyone could manage a side like Madrid, Everton prove otherwise.
The man really is a genius to get anything with this team

Somehow we’ve walked away with a point which, in some ways, is quite impressive considering. Slight improvement in the second half but overall a turd of a performance.

Overcoming that obese official, I think, is quite the achievement. He tries his damndest to prevent us from getting anything. A minor miracle we have in my view.

They said he has been the ref twice at Goodison this season and we won both .

When does the season end? I can’t wait.

Ended in March.

WOEFUL is Overpraised

 

[The binman chronicles]

If Sam Allardyce was in charge of the last two game people would be having seizures for him to be sacked.

Its a funny old game.

No chance, didn't you see we actually scored a goal.

 

[Papa Shango]

Went for Pickford as MOTM. Without him in the first half they would have been out of sight.

 

[JLW]

Null and void the season from now because that’s painful to see.

Lee mason though, what a fkin doughnut that man is

 

[TmoMoney0721]

If i was Carlo i'd keep gomes as a sub for final few games, doesn't look like he's up to speed, same for siggy, i'd personally play the kids in midfield, can't do much worse than the three we have been playing

 

[Tin-Tin]

Is it too much to ask just to play like Southampton??
