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

It's all very one paced, created a couple of decent chances but it's very flat. Southampton not really offering a massive amount either. A poor enough game that is there if we up it about 15%

 

[BlueToff]

And he will be off in January!

He is far too good for us.

No he won't Derek.

I just wish someone other than Bolasie would actually attempt a cross, Coleman and Baines are too scared to cross. Stop cutting back and going inside and just whip it in the box.

Thing is we have had many a grim first half and came out flying right away in the second, if we dont score early I hope we dont take it for granted Southampton will tire after playing midweak

 

[Professor Toffee]

Just wish I could see what the manager is trying to do.

Earn a lot of money, simples

2nd best against a team who played midweek i wish the manager would play someone anyone upfront with Rom this is like watching a Moyes team
way too negative this fella

 

[allen]

Who do our players look to for inspiration?

I don't even mean a player shouting encouragement, no one even quietly leads by example.

I don't know if that's the rest of the team trying to be respectful of Jagielka's quiet captaincy, or whether none of them are capable of stepping up.

We badly need a leader. Jagielka has to turn in the armband.

 

[Brendan Janus]

Darby & Joan FC, that is us !!

 

[hktoffee]

Do you accept 1 point at this stage? Doesn't look like scoring.

 

[Blue_Arsed_Fly]

Koeman and Erwin look stoned on the touchline every game, like they're at home watching it on telly. Podgey faced t1ts.

 

[Paul w]

Barkley has been our better player really.

No he hasn't too slow decisions [Poor language removed] header at the end summed him up.

 

[Eggs]

...Barkley again not having the ability to get his header on target. Similar to the sitter he missed at Bournemouth, he has the upper body strength to allow him to pick his spot but he has a head like a threepenny bit and puts them wide of the post. Not good.

 

[bazzer25]

Ross is Boss when

 

[VentureBrosEFC]

I can't even watch it where I am, they've got Man U on FFS.

Looking at the comments and the sky txt commentary I'm not missing much

You're saving yourself the grief/fume.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

It looks to be to much effort for us, Southampton look sharper and much more fit.
