Match Thread Everton v Southampton Sunday 27th Nov KO 16:30

[Ring master]

we are sensational at playing bad,saying that we could have still had 2 or 3,just the same as we might have had 3 or 4 [Barkley turn,shooting wide-Bolasie one on one, and last min,etc], last week lol

Does he?!

He won a tackle today...That's already 1000% more effort than the rest of them.

 

[billytoffee]

It's like Roberto is back.

 

[Eggs]

Bolasie is a joke most of the time

....it is a concern if Bolasie is a true reflection of the managers judgement with the window about to open. I'm reminded that Kendall brought a few in at the beginning of his reign so I've got my fingers crossed.

Reminds me of the conversation between an optimist and a pessimist, following Everton.

The optimist says "Things can't get any worse"

The pessimist says "Oh yes they can!".

 

[Jamo Martinez]

FFS! I thought Everton were playing Southampton today but I tune in to see a Southampton training session with some blue and white traffic cones.
I suppose the team coach must have broken down on the way to St Mary's and they've delayed kick off.

The good news is if the team does actually make it to the stadium we should beat these easiily. They're gash. Ffs, they've only scored once against the traffic cones.

Does he?!

Yes when he drew the foul 2/3 of the way through the half. Tracked back won the ball passed to Barkley raced forward past him and drew the foul. He does provide effort. That isn't the only time either, he hasn't been great but he has been one of our better players all season

 

[hktoffee]

Barkley has been our better player really.

He did not create anything in the first half.

 

[Tubey]

It's not saying much is it Tubes? They've all been tosh.

He's been one of the worst though. I defend Ross a lot of the time but 'kin hell has he been terrible.

I'd haul the entire front three off to make a point if I were Koeman. Just bollock them at half time and haul them off after 10 minutes when they inevitably continue to do absolutely nothing.

I was hoping this would be Bolasie's "one in ten" game as well...

 

[BlueToff]

Exactly this! We're just an empty shell

Really?

You and @ilikecheese should probably just watch what S'ton does.

Puel has got them playing some very neat stuff, but look at the intensity and pressing from their players.

That was present under Koeman as well. And our players are incapable of it.

 

[Moggers]

It's way way worse in real life trust me.

Godspeed brother... at least its not a 9hr journey home for you!

 

[Derek Acorah]

The big problem is that Lukaku aside, where do the goals come from in this starting 11?

And he will be off in January!

He is far too good for us.

 

[MikeH72]

Only Ross Barkley could head it 40 yards wide from 6 yards out dead centre with no one challenging him

 

[Rsoles]

Yer know teams like Bournmouth can go to Arsenal and give them a game Everton can't even give Southampton a game says it all really we are shi$e
