Match Thread Everton v Southampton - Tuesday 17th September - 19:45

[banno]

This reminds me of the Burnley side he took down..everyone was shocked when he got saked...then Burnley went on a run and nearly stayed up...did he lose the dressing room there....defo think he has here...

Don't think it has anything to do with losing the dressing room. He has his way of playing and will not deviate even when his record shows majority of the time he gets it totally wrong. He is stuck and it does not matter what class of player he has he will just stick to his way. Thelwell needs to tell him (as DoF) he wants a certain style of play and more importantly, play to players strengths and utilise them all. Tonight, Ndiaye for example was starved of the ball, our players did not support each other. Our team did not even attempt to play football

FINE MARGINS BABY

But margins all the same

I think you're incredibly charitable mate. I think that most of these rancid players will continue to poison the club long after the bellend Dyche goes.

Name yours then?

Just saying that looking at a possession stat without breaking it down further is silly but I wouldn't expect anything more than someone who regularly proves to be a dimwit.

I can pluck stats that make us look better than Southampton such as shots we had compared to them, despite the 'POsSEsSion!!!!'. Doesn't mean anything. Both teams were crap and we played a side that had 2/11 first team players if everyone was fit (McNeil and Ndiaye).

Agendas are strong though and will not die until Dyche is out.

Shots don’t help either. More corners though

 

[diggerdestroyer]

We’re not going down.

I don’t feel that way, anyway.

It’s September. The key for me is punting Dyche before it’s too late, and I have hope that will happen.

I'm a glass half empty person but fairly level headed but...

I have no idea how anyone could think we are staying up.(no offence) We look an utter shambles for years now and it's time. This is coming and i really worry goodison won't be able to keep us up this time around in her last season.

I pray she does.

Don't ever say Keane and Young in the same breath again. One is a total wage stealing fraud and one is a scapegoat for people who've got no idea.

 

[Sharpattack]

He’s run his course. It worked for a while but is now counterproductive. It happened the same way at Burnley. He overachieved but got found out eventually.

 

[larrygobfiend]

By the way Virginia is an awful goalkeeper

Pens aside his kicking is atrocious and he has no clue what to do with the ball at his feet other than hoof it away and give the ball away

Lovely to see him run the clock down towards too

 

[kimonthemac_efc]

why does it feel so normal loosing to a team like Southampton?

 

[BlueStevie35]

Don't ever say Keane and Young in the same breath again. One is a total wage stealing fraud and one is a scapegoat for people who've got no idea.

They’re both wage stealers

This could be our new positivity thread. "Things that are worse than Everton"...

Hezbollah just got blown up by 90s-style pagers.

Apparently there is a new breakthrough in battling the AIDS epidemic.

 

[PeregrineT]

I wonder how many matches have been won that both Keane and Young played in? And I wonder because Im open to the slim idea its not 0.

I think we ought to stay up because a worse squad than this one essentially finished 11th last season.

We’ve improved the starting 11, and the bench.

A half decent manager can get 17th, no sweat.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Name yours then?

It would be easier to name the players who aren't wage thieves stealing from the club. Pickford, Coleman (possibly one or two others who I'd find easier naming if I wasn't so angry) and the kids. The rest are an utter disgrace.

I hope It’s sinking in, it’s not a question of personnel, selection or subs

We are set up to spoil the game, his only concern is shape without the ball and that means we’re going to be on the back foot constantly

That’s why he went Young for Beto, he’s trying to plug a hole somewhere, that’s all he thinks about

Defending doesn’t stop you from losing.
It’s a false economy because you’re constantly handing the initiative away.
