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

[Daytripper]

I fear Southampton will have to fight to stay in the league. They wont play against Keane every week.

Honestly I’d have Ward Prowse here.

Anyone post the goals? I'm stuck in Boujee

Type of game we were losing last year at home.
Keane and Holgate just awful first half.

Just think a three gets the best out of all of our players yeah, but at least we showed something

It gets the best out of almost everyone. The one it might not is Richarlison. Because he can't keep pretending to be a wide player.

Its 'too bad', I have no ill feelings towards them. Seems an okay team with a decent manager, their struggle is kinda mysterious to me. Started last season on fire, ended up being a horror show. Hope they improve and stay up, as long as they stay behind us in every way.

1st win of season, great to start with the win etc

 

[PITA]

Those halftime orange slices must've been potent.

Maybe they were delivered early by the RS in advance of the derby.

Rafael must have kicked backsides at HT. Watched BBC1 from 4.15 and got the news of the goals. To say I was made up is an understatement. It is always I ever wanted for our team to win and that was a good start.

 

[TheBigIguana]

he was laughing a bit himself to be fair. Knew it was a bit of a powderpuff effort

He's got no left at all. He's as one footed as Robben but doesn't play to it the same way so it is less noticeable.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Can all you little bedwetters now have a word with yourselfs.

We won't get relegated, Manager isn't crap...

Yes some players might be. But negative vibes are shocking to listen to and read.

Mate, it has been embarrassing watching them vent their crap for thew whole summer before a ball was even kicked.

Football was still horrific but the fight made up for it in the 2nd half and that's the mimimum that should be asked every week.

Biggest positive from today was Benitez rectifying his mistakes, you don't put Richarlison LM and Gray as the free role off DCL, completely different player Richarlison when he's allowed the freedom to move around and Gray lacks end product to be anything more than a tricky winger.

Then the switch of Keane to RCB, in fairness he was still horrendous today but it's been an issue of our CB's for years that none of them other than Godfrey can go left to save their life switching him and Holgate was the right call.

Villa Scuppered my acca there

 

[Toffeelover]

What would you have changed?

Perhaps one or other CBs.

Too soon?

The blue of Everton mixed with the red of Liverpool and the waistline of John Goodman… I like it!

Direct direct direct. That’s what works given our squad. It’s not the prettiest but it’s what we got

also: we won after conceding first. First time in ages

Richy you absolute beast
