Match Thread Southampton 1-0 Everton . Sat November 2nd. 3pm

[Verbal Kint]

He has to be dropped now, at least Beto cares, DCL is going through the motions picking up a wage.

Honestly if offered anything for him in January he was to be sold. I hope someone is stupid enough to do it.

Problem is DCL will hold on until summer for huge wages... His business IQ is much better than his footballing one.

anyone go tje
game? wanted to see fans reactions at the end

IE dyche out etc?

I went Matty.

My sense was that supporters have become bored into submission and there was a lot of shoulder shrugging(where I sat so can’t talk about other areas) at how we managed to mess up what should have been an easy 3 points.
I have been to a lot of games where the fans were far angrier than today…Bournemouth away under Lampard was particularly toxic.

 

[JacSFC]

Yeah, we knew this would happen before the ball was ever kicked. We always do this. Whenever theres a stat like that, we help. A player havent ever scored in his career? Hes gonna score against us. Team havent won? Theyre gonna win against us. Its not being negative, its experience.

I'm a lifelong Saint's fan. Don't think your special...

What a pile of garbage today.

The team needs Branthwaite back as we play 10-15 yards further up the pitch and puts pressure on the opposition. The number of times Saints gave up the ball in their own half should have yielded a goal or two. Unfortunately, our brainless players conspired to make the worst of the situation every time.

DCL was a passenger and bringing Harrison on to play as a 10 was ridiculous…his miss in the second half was pure Jack.

The referee was terrible and bottled it when he should have sent off their defender.

I thought Young and Gana were our best players with mentions for Mangala and Mykolenko…McNeill and Ndiaye were not fit.

 

[ToffeeTim]

The last time we tried 442 with DCL and Beto was possibly last January IIRC. Albeit it did not work well.

But we've gone 442 twice in last 2 games late on and used a centre half.

Why not try both of our strikers together and just smash it long. We've had almost a year for the strikers to train together and try to find a better understanding.

Why is everything like for like. Why is everything so cautious and unimaginative.

What is the point of going away to play the worst side in the league and losing while trying to nick a point.

What's the point

That was bad that today. No other ideas or perspectives.

First half was atrocious. I reckon there's been a few other contenders but is it top 5 or top 10 for all time worst shows under Dyche?

Batterings by Spurs and Chelsea can occasionally be understood, but today was Southampton. And is this another international break again?

No we go to West Ham next week and then a break

They are not good either. But I'm sure Dyches gameplan will be to stand off them and give them the freedom the park and try to hang on to a draw.

Thanks. I wonder just how pivotal next weekend will be for both sides. What a travesty.

hats of for going mate -
should be getting better than we are

i’m just asking as wondering if the anger will be at dyche soon

 

[Iana]

I thought it would be worse than it was particularly after the Fulham no-show the week before.

I think West Ham next week might be the tipping point if we play like we have done for the last 2 weeks and he keeps Keane and DCL in the team.Keane has been ok but Branthwaite takes us up another level.

This season we are the team sleepwalking to relegation. Too good to go down, ‘always find a way’.

Dyche knows he has no future here and this worries me.

 

[NathDogg]

Get rid.
