Match Thread Southampton v Everton Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

Keep telling yourself that. Results didn’t go our way and not getting any easier

It may be a rough result against city, but the below teams won’t pick many points up, did you expect every game to be like Leeds? We’ve shown we are ok ish at home but we are dire away. We will easy pick up the pints needed, loads of games left.

And then because the ref makes some bizarre decisions we collectively go into a huff. Really fed up with this shower.

Nothing to take out of that game other than we are really in big trouble

plus we're lucky today that Norwich, Brentford, Palace, lot and Newcastle drew...the crap results around us are going to help keep us up

Watford and Burnley have won games they should lose. They are the two we needed to keep losing.

Gomes ? he actually played in a near prime Barcelona team( not having that!)

 

[HSWR]

Starting XI more than good enough to defeat these. We played well for the first 25 mins then just dropped off. It's like if they don't score early the players crap themselves.

It isn't or we would have won today.

 

[Nymzee]

Well. Probably our 2 worst performances of the season have now come under Lampard (as well as 2 of the best). He's got his work cut out here. Not his fault, this is on terrible recruitment and the Benitez appointment. But it is sobering.

I really would be amazed if we stay up the way things are going. Realistically, it looks like we are going to have to win almost every one of the games at home against: Newcastle, Brentford, Burnley, Wolves, Utd and Palace and hope that other teams around us don't keep picking up points. And football doesn't work that way. ?

Nah, not having that whatsoever. Absolute load of bollocks.

 

[SJB]

Well that was a tough watch. Bring on City eh.

 

[davies1878]

Those Wolves and Newcastle games at home could determine whether we're staying up or not, or at least play a huge part, I don't see us getting anything from the next 2

Probably the brentford home game for me, winner stays up

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Honestly, starting the half without Doucoure or Allan hasn’t worked since we had Gueye.
Doucoure being injured isn’t anyones fault but Allan getting booked and then giving away another foul straight after lost us that match. Such bad game management. Can see why Frank took him off but after that point we were always going to lose.

 

[Nymzee]

It isn't or we would have won today.

How many of their players would you swap in for ours?

 

[MikeH72]

We are still deep, deep in the woods.

The simple answer is yes. And well deserved. Brands the pensioner and the guys before . bringing back Rooney , only laughable stuff going on for years.

No we’re not. Walsh before brands. Come on now. Agree Rooney reunion a joke.

 

[DownunderToffee]

Our remaining games:

Man City - home
Spurs - away
Wolves - home
Newcastle - home
Watford - away
West Ham - away
Man U - home
Palace - home
RS - away
Chelsea - home
Leicester - away
Brentford - home
Arsenal - away

Games to be rearranged - Burnley - away and Leicester - home.

So winnable games realistically:
Wolves - Home
Newcastle - Home
Watford - Away
Palace - Home
Brentford - Home
Burnley - Away

We're not looking good.
