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

[Librarian]

Please Everton hire a manger who likes football

 

[RomanReigns]

45-1 very tempting
That Lesley Ugochukwu has a Everton misery ring to him.

Did you do the bet?

So in my time as a supporter which goes back to the 83/84 season we've now lost 14 of the 19 penalty shoot-outs we've taken part of during that period in all competitions and have lost our last 5 in a row.

Is there another club with a worse record from the spot than us? Winning just 5 out of 19 is simply appalling.

EXACTLY
We are the most predictable side I have ever seen in my life.
So easy to plan for a game against us.

I agree. We are so easy to play around that it is not surprising that, even very average, sides always find a way to play through us ...

 

[nsno-chris]

Playing a 4-5-1 at home and having 26% possession

I’ve never witnessed anything like that in my life.

Did you do the bet?

Nah, zero motivation will all things football at the moment.
Thanks everton

The possession doesn't really bother me yeno, rarely ever tells the full story. We should've been out of sight.

There’s a threshold for when it becomes a problem. Nothing wrong with playing more direct or whatever. There is however a point where you’re just allowing the other team too much of the ball and putting yourself under too much pressure. We are over that line.

Worst Everton squad I've seen since abt 1973.

It’s better than last season’s. And the season before.

 

[Izzy1878]

I'm numb and I try to avoid watching football knowing that I'll be disappointed. Checked the score and now I'm disappointed.

 

[OlDirtyBluenose]

That Beto/Young sub will go down in the annals of Everton folklore. Majestic.

Up there with Holgate for Harrison first game of the season, actually feels like he's trolling us!

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Since beating Gladbach in 1970, we’ve only won one penalty shootout out of nine at Goodison

First Prince Andrew and Phillip Schofield, now it is now time for a BBC tell all interview with Sean Dyche

Maitlis did Andrew like a kipper. Any Dyche supposed "tell all" interview would involve gargling translators, and idiot boards marked up "is Young keen ?....or is Kean young". Thats before the oxygen masks fell into the studio a la "Airplane".

It’s better than last season’s. And the season before.

How is it.

Plus Southampton should never have 75% possession at Goodison. It’s [Poor language removed] embarrassing

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Virginia never had a save to make mate.

Lindstrom scored either of his sitters and we'd have been alright.

There's nothing right with what's been going on; end of story.
