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

[chippy1722]

If your an opposition fan of a team from 12th downwards, you'd be looking at those bottom 3 places and saying "Everton definitely taking one of those spots so it's not worth focusing on their results as they are finished".

No they won’t, they will look at all three on the same points and treat them equally, we also have the experience of getting out last year, and they know that despite our poor team our home crowd can massively help us.

Our home form is absolutely abysmal.
So is our away form for that matter.

Never a good thing when your home and away form is equally poor...

We motivated them!

Just like many on here, I thought Amadou Onana was MotM.

The crowd who is also in turmoil because of the board's lies?

I admire your optimism, hope you're right, but...

Won't get any easier games than wolves and saints at home. Lost both. Game over

Wolves I'd say 50/50, new manager bounce and that, but it was 10000000% winnable.

Saints though - not won in ages, not scoring goals... BAH GAWD THAT'S EVERTON'S MUSIC!

Disgusting how the board couldn't even face the protest..shows how much they care about the fan base. As if anything would happen to them...told not to go because of their safety is an absolute cop out!!

 

[Jeff Jones]

I think teams don't do that because it invites opponents right onto your own goal line.

Sorry, Billy, I can't work that out. Do you mean that they'd do the same when we had a free kick?

I doubt that he would've scored if, say, Godfrey and Coady had stood on the line to Pickford's right.

No I mean if we have a man on Pickford’ line, the opposition can also put men on him because they won’t be off side

Not strictly true, they'd won 2 cup games the week before, including comprehensively beating City

OK, sorry, but I haven't changed my mind. Three defenders on the goal line makes it much harder to score directly from a free kick.

Pickford alone had no chance of saving it,

I still can’t believe we have lost this game. We would of win, we’re joint 14th thinking even if you somehow get a draw against West Ham things are looking a bit better.

Typical Everton, we mess it up. I just can’t believe it. I was in work and ran around when we went 1-0 up. I said to everyone the most important thing now is that we don’t concede within the first ten minutes of the second half. It kicks off, boom they score.

Im still so mad about it. The whole thing.
