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

[Lloydystark]

Said it for along time we have a squad of players who can't perform consistently. Iwobi gomes Holgate Coleman will put a good performance in then be awful for the next 4 games and it repeats over and over again.

 

[Bluerover]

when did it become trendy for football fans to be so performatively impartial (or even performatively anti their own team) that they deny that if a stonewall penalty had been given to their team while they were on top, it COULD have changed the game?!

Mate, they are on massive money, wearing the RBJ, and play like rabbits. That is just not good enough.

 

[yeatston]

Each manager we get in goes thru the same process of giving poor players a chance who have just seen off several managers & are only capable of turning it on for a single game once every few months.. total frauds who should not be given any game time... Coleman who i wouldn't label a fraud is just unfortunately too old now

Because of exactly that mate. Because it COULD, no certain guarantees.

Because it could change it, we could score first, and we will inevitably "Everton, that" and lose 2:1 anyway. Someone said earlier in this thread that if we were Saints when they went up 1:0, we'd lose this 1:2. It's spot on, that's who we are now, who we've been for a while now.

Crap top to bottom.

Newcastle have 3 wins and 3 draws in their last 6 games. Go do a bit of research before you spout rubbish.

They've found form.

If we won 3 and drew 3 with this gang of dross are we suddenly a good side?

 

[Grogu the blue]

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.

Didn’t see any nasty frustration tackles either, Southampton didn’t even have to get out of 1st gear all game

 

[Chewbacca]

Well that was rubbish

 

[Nymzee]

They've found form.

We wouldn't be a bad side. We came up against an in form team so losing to them shouldn't have been a shock (same as today).

 

[Furey1878]

Tough one from the Allan yellow card it was just awful, gotta hope we'll get a performance out of them against City

 

[DualityNSNO]

They've found form.

If we won 3 and drew 3 with this gang of dross are we suddenly a good side?

They also recruited sensibly, which lead to the good form.

We don't have 3 wins and 3 draws in the last 20 games ffs.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Doucoure will be back soon

Yeah, then when inevitably in a very "us" moment one of them gets injured, what do we do?

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Mate, they are on massive money, wearing the RBJ, and play like rabbits. That is just not good enough.

Oh they were dreadful. But to deny that the penalty COULD (NB not WOULD) have changed the game is just inanity.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Lampard needs to find a way of getting consistency out of these lads to avoid the drop (and I don't believe they have it in them), as he has delivered our 2 best performances of the season and 2 of the worst.

Newcastle and today were atrocious but no way were they 2 of our worst performances of the season.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

put on the Extra Heavy Metal....

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Because of exactly that mate. Because it COULD, no certain guarantees.

That’s my point. Denying that it COULD change it is ridiculous.
