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

[PITA]

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.

Which is which?

Took embarrassing to a new level,
Knocked out of a competition before Liverpool even kick a ball in it

Young is completely finished. Should never play a game for us again but he will.

You can somewhat excuse it all if we get results but when we’re losing constantly, the football is terrible and we’re wheeling out Ashley Young then it really is grim.

Young will start at LB against Leicester. Nailed on.

Ok, what have you got to say for yourself?

After witnessing a crap game between 2 crap teams, it might be another 21 years before I go again. Especially as I had a train cancellation to contend with. I wish I'd stayed home & saved nearly £70.

i love to see the young ones given a chance and dixon should be at RB every game
but i will never understand in one of the only competitions we have a pray in we started a weakened side.
START with best team then if can put game to bed (say 4 up lol) then make changes

I feel that, mate. I watched at home with my youngest but the eldest went as he thought it might be our last cup game at Goodison.

What a send off they gave her….

We did not struggle we capitulated with a manager who constant mantra about his brand of football is well disciplined and hard to beat. Everton are not remotely either of these now.

When we were arguing about Martinez and Moyes it was their commitment to their mantra which was the issue for many people. Even the people who wanted them out acknowledged the type of manager they were -- they just said they didn't like it. With Dyche he isn't the things his defenders say -- not even close -- to a level of parody. So something about this feels so much worse. It's like a political argument where people have two such different perspectives it's hard to discuss anything because if someone thinks we need to keep Dyche because he's well disciplined etc then we're simply living in two different realities.

Dyche OUT! No more seventeenth place trophy mentality!

….my son went, I watched on TV. His comment to me; ‘two very poor sides on show in a game we had enough chances to win but obviously didn’t.’

Couldn’t disagree.

Last ever league cup game at goodison and it ends like that ! When you think of the legends of the game that have graced goodisons turf in the royal blue ,and this is how the grand old lady is seeing out it’s final few months , it’s an absolute disgrace and all those who’ve put this club in this situation should be utterly ashamed of themselves and all those who enabled these people should feel it too,you have the club you deserve, we’re now a complete laughing stock with an absent board who doesn’t care if we lose every game , a manager who’s stinking the place out with his no possssion tactics and awful subs and his loyalty to championship standard players,and the players themselves who are playing with no idea with what there meant to be doing,if we were a boxer the towel would have been thrown in years ago,the one good thing this club has is its fans and we get treated with utter contempt and disrespect.

If we beat Leicester on Saturday (which I reckon we will), then I won’t care too much about last night’s result.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

So may saying similar last night mate, it’s heartbreaking that we feel like this.

Load of empty seats near me from fans who normally don’t miss any games, but I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to be near Everton and that football more than they have to, it’s soul destroying seeing us run around like kids, chasing shadows and looking lost agains the Saints reserves.

Few near me were saying if this is the year we do drop, they won’t renew, not even for BMD.

Might just be the emotions talking, but I don’t blame them if they jib it tbh.

Hate seeing my two kids getting battered just from supporting Everton, being the butt of the RS in school, witnessing such awful football from us.

I’m old and ugly enough to take it but they aren’t.

Got in my car last night after that debacle,put the radio on and all I could hear was the RS crowing in the San Siro,you try to turn the other cheek but it’s bloody hard being an Evertonian currently

We might get another home cup game in the FA cup hopefully. Here's to drawing someone like
Kidderminster Harriers so we have a chance to get through. As long as Young doesn't take the last pen again...

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Anyone else of the same mindset as me in thinking it was nuts as the game was drifting to pens he didn't bring Pickford on for the shoot out?fine margins and it could of got in the Southampton players heads,after all he is the England number one and hell he could even have taken that penalty young missed,not that I'd suggest dyche got things wrong of course

At this juncture, anything goes.
