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

Bielsa can’t see the future, nor can you, nor can I.

ok

 

[Richard Alex]

I’d rather have Davis with a hamstring injury than Gomes
Such and abject and pointless player. Thought he was decent when we signed him as well

 

[Dr James Baxter]

Well that was just sh@te!! I'm normally a glass half full kinda guy but today was a glass thrown at the freakin wall!!!! No positives. Can we get a point against City? If we do it only helps the RS

 

[Nymzee]

Are you asking me how many players I would swap out of a half decent team and my own relegation threatened team? All of them if it gets us more points than the current ones do. If we had more good players then we wouldn't be where we are in the league.

You can be good but not play good. On paper our side should be beating theirs and I don't know why that's so hard to understand.

 

[maccavennie]

Rock bottom of the league table for away form.

Players are an absolute disgrace to the shirt they really are. Game after game, month after month, season after season, offering the bare minimum.

Today was a disgraceful of a performance. One that lacked just the simple basics of winning your own personal battles, first to the ball, find a man and make yourself available. They didn't give a flying one.

 

[hallamblue]

Hate to be right but I did predict 0-2. Other than the Covid time, our away form has been pitiful for years, which is strange considering our fans are supposedly so poisonous! It's only the fans geeing up the team that's stopped us being relegation material in the past. Not quite time to panic yet, with 4 games in hand on Brentford and 2 points to make up.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Just leaving the ground.
Gomes should never play for us again.
Utter [Poor language removed].

safe trip home, mate - you should all get refunds for sitting through that

 

[Lloydystark]

Only saw last 15 mins looked like a Everton performance

 

[kleew]

Let's just have a bit of perspective here too lads, Southampton are a decent side we are not. If you split the league in terms of quality you've got

1st - 3rd = class
4th - 8th = good
9th - 13th = decent
14th - 20th = crap like us

If we focus on beating the crap like us and getting the odd result against a decent side we'll survive. I know it's depressing to look at it this way but it is what it is for us at the moment.

still remembered the time under Silva once when we had a run beating the Class sides

 

[lungo]

Lon

He's not even tall enough is he?

Long is very very tall! With that kind of name he must be…

 

[aglee]

we are a bottom half club at the moment.

Which division?

 

[Fansince1988]

Also loads slag the team off, but don’t even come up with there own solution, if you hadn’t realised a majority of our best player are injured. Meaning we have to play Keane and Holgate, then bring on Gomes. Play a RB at LB. I don’t believe there was even a midfield option other than Gomes to come on. Yes perhaps they should try harder, but some fans are just so negative if that’s the vibe the players get no wonder they under perform. Any I’m out of here until the next one, I have a life and have other interests bar football take care all.

 

[MACCA75]

We need to be grinding points out of these games, even if it means a 5-4-1 or 4-5-1.

 

[Toast]

No motm vote from me awful awful performance
God love those 3500 travelling blues and the ones who got stuck on the way Our players just don’t deserve you !

Some had paid over £300 for taxis from London to the ground.

These cowards don’t deserve that support.

 

[PhilEFC]

I didn’t expect a result there. They are are a decent side on a decent run, and our heroes can’t cope with a cauldron like St Mary’s.
