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

[Professor Toffee]

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

Difficult to get a point so

 

[Ring master]

We will win this 1-2.









Or lose 3-0.

been us,probably conceed within 5mins of 2nd half

 

[BlueToff]

Just following on Twitter as I'm out and the only mention of Bolasie and Rom has been someone sarcastically saying put Bolasie on second half

He (Bolasie) has been awful apart from for five minutes when he moved over to the right. Put in a brilliant cross that Barkley really should have at least hit the target from.

Thing is, we've been crap. And I mean awful.

But, we've had three excellent chances, all of which should have been put away.

 

[Maltese_Falcon]

Deloufeou should always start .yes he can be very frustrating but he is only one that tries to make things happen and scares defenders

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Missed header aside Barkley was good. Ross suffers from the other team knowing that apart from him we have absolutely no creative threats, so it's easy to just focus on him and cut him out.

 

[Paul w]

Barkley has been our better player really.

What are you looking at.

 

[TommyDavo]

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

A poor header but he was being challenged. Bad enough without the embellishment. Was walking the dog past Goodison at 7:30 this morning and lads were there waiting for the coach. Made a damn sight more effort than this shower

 

[Davidoff]

Static with, and without the ball. Same as the last two seasons.

Somethings definitely rotten with this bunch of players.

Ross suffers from being overrated

 

[BlueToff]

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

He's been slow and laborious yes, when he's playing in that no man's land position between Rom and the midfield.

When he's moved back and got on the ball deeper, he's kick-started our attack.

Now that to me suggests there needs to be a switch in system.

 

[JLW]

I will back Koeman until next season but FFS at least get out of your chair and start throwing some instructions about!!!!!!

 

[funkygibson]

Players are obviously not playing for Koeman, I think he's lost the dressing room after 6 months, Its looking very likely that he's having another Valencia situation

Gang of s••houses if that's the case. "We're crap and play with no desire, so let's blame the managers style"

 

[paulbefc]

It'd be great if it actually appeared to hurt Barkley that we were getting beat and playing badly. As arguably the most talented player we have, an Evertonian and now quite an experienced player, I'd like him to take a bit of extra responsibility when inferior talents like Bolasie and Lennon are letting us down.

The only player who seemed to do anything of the sort was Bolasie in taking the initiative, switching wings and putting a great ball in for Barkley to completely fluff his lines.

 

[Brendan Janus]

I hope we gat done 5-0 again !!

Show how shoite we are !!

 

[toffeejack]

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.

true, then again, we have nobody in the box anyway so it wouldn't amount to anything.
