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

[Sarnia Kevin]

Surely it was blindingly obvious that Onana was head and shoulders above the others??? Or didn't you go to the game?

I only heard the commentary on the EFC site, so I haven't seen the game yet. But the commentary team agreed that Onana was MoM.

keep dreaming

It keeps me going.....

Did a 12 hour round trip to get to the game, most let down I have felt as a fan. The effort and courage in this team is soul destroying.

I'm actually a registered seagulls supporter from years ago when I lived in Brighton and they were rubbish...can I just swap full allegiance now?!

We are just so, so boring though really aren't we?

It's not even as if we're losing loads of games because we're going gung-ho all the time and at least making a right fist of it to get the fans off their bums... we're just a really, really poor side all around.

That's what does my head in the most if I'm being completely honest. There is just absoutely zero joy to be had out of watching these lot. Just no connection with the fans at all..

If relegation would at least shake things up a little but then so be it. I'm just incredibly bored of this club mate..

again i’m like a broken record here

relegation does nothing other then end us

no two ways about it

 

[Toffe3m4n]

We are the Coventry City of the 21st century.

... and yet, ironically, we've been after one of their strikers for a while and we can't even manage a deal lol

I'm probably gonna get absolute pelters for this, but 'f it..

Say that was true matty... if the alternative was to watch us lose and put in pitiful performances week-in, week-out as we continue to tumble down the divisions... would that be the absolute worst thing in the world? We'd get our weekends back and our mental health would surely improve as a result..

With everything going on today, I just wanted to mention that I thought the best shout was by 40k Evertonians singing

"Your not fit to wear the shirt".

Take away the manager and his massive limitations to get them up and running

Take away the DoF who is lolling like a duck in an ocean against a tidal wave

Take away the board which are an embarrassment to our club

Take away an owner who I'd rather replace with Orville (kids of the 80s will understand)

That last 15/20 minutes was a disgrace. They are abysmal at football so the least you ask is for commitment, desire, workmate, be first to every ball. Nothing. Absolutely nothing

Dreadful squad. Dreadful attitude. Once we get relegated we'll hear stories from these no marks of how it was impossible to perform.

They're a disgrace to their profession and a disgrace to this club.

That's the thing. Southampton were the better team 2nd half. Made positive subs, looked a threat on a counter.

They deserved at least a point. Then you give the best freekick taker in the league a prime opportunity....

They deserved it

Probably the easiest MOM choice of the season.

It was such a limp 2nd half performance. Out worked, out fought, out thought and that's simply not acceptable.

"Just keep doing what your doing lads"

Concede in the first minute of the 2nd half. Then do nothing for half an hour

That's not how you manage.

Yep he'll have no complaints mate once he gets the boot and I've backed him more than most (mainly due to that I don't believe the board have a clue what type of manager would help the situation ).

The change of formation just completely opened us up yesterday and the amount of times teams counter on us is pathetic. We literally look like conceding every time when a team counters. Even with a back 5 we are opened up far too easily.

It's a mess, Lampard definitely hasn't helped the situation but I honestly don't think many will. The squad is a complete and utter mess

Its happened time and time again, we can see by half time things aren't working, (know we were a goal up, but they were constantly threatening) and we do nothing, then concede a soft goal everyone could see coming.
