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

[ForeverEverton]

Southampton at least 65% possession... we lose this 3-1

Southampton possession 1st half is 77%

To all the Dyche bum lickers that this is a side that you all claimed would be worse than us....

Last 20/25 they were in total cruise control playing like primer Barca or Ajax

 

[Tonymckinn1878]

Jeez, this is a tough watch!

 

[II McColl II]

22% of the ball against this stinking lot, horrific to watch.

 

[Cels]

Not a bad first half really, we just needed to be stronger and more decisive for their goal.

 

[Bluebirdie]

Switch places Dixon and Lindstrom.

 

[edge]

Armstrong and Mangala look like they’ve never played together before… Miles and miles off it, vatting walked all over and they’ve not layed a glove on them. Adam Lalana can barely even break into a jog, how can we not get closer to him and put in a few crunching tackles!!

Might be because they havnt played together before?

 

[Dublin blue 75]

23% possesion at home against a [Poor language removed] side on half time, just awful.

And Southampton are a side many feel are a rival we are superior to

 

[MACCA75]

Armstrong is chasing shadows in midfield. May as well put Harrison on and play him in a 10. The 3 in midfield isn’t really working.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Dyche looked like he was shaking his head at the few boos going around

I can already hear him saying ‘young lads’ ‘no experience’ ‘need time’ ‘illness’ but the fact is we’ve given away three leads in a row, losing the first two games and nobody confident it won’t happen again here

If you don’t want boos, win matches

 

[daza_1973]

With a different owner he'd be in his last week of his contract

With a different owner he'd of been rocking up at Job Club a fortnight ago.

 

[lungo]

We went 15 last season without a win with this fella in charge five without a win is small fry.

He had points in the bank and points dockedNow he has a new club record and the worst start in 80 years. Big difference!

 

[banno]

Be nice to keep hold of the ball a bit and build rather than looking for an instant glory ball or hoofing it. We should be capable of it or should I say be allowed to try it

 

[windymiller]

He hates us, you can see it in his interviews too.

Good. The feeling is mutual.

 

[polish]

Southampton, of all teams, knocking it around us with ease for most of the half on our own patch is a bit depressing to watch like..

They play like this against everyone.

 

[Blueclouds]

We’ve made them look like prime Barcelona, any chance of some actual football from us, patterns of play, passing, anything?

Our tactics is to rush and pass a hot potato when we have the vall. Terrible I know Dyche not a fan of patient football and likes to go direct but this is pathetic
