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

[nsno-chris]

Need Mina Docuoure Gray back as soon as possible and just strap in for a horrendous relegation rollercoaster

Well Mina is out till April so that’s not happening

 

[Bluerover]

I pity the older lads on here that remember when we were a class side. At least us younger crowd only know misery from this football club.

Good Lord, Southall, Ratcliffe, Van den Hawe, Reid, Sheeds, Sharp etc never mind the 60s team , would go through brick walls for this Club. The current shower would collapse at the sight of a wet tissue. Just sickening.

 

[JammyP]

Kenny seemed to try. Pickford excelled, but can't stop them all.

If we just win home games, do we escape?

 

[MockBu4]

Well bringing on gomes in a tough away game that was in the balance isn't exactly the cleverest decision is it

I'm not his fan, to say the least, but being reduced to 10 was not a very go option either, and Doucs wasn't available

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

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).

Hmm. Well I think we are a bad side. Admittedly in a league that's full of them, but we are a very poor side and a lot of our fans don't seem to realise this.

 

[Nymzee]

Hmm. Well I think we are a bad side. Admittedly in a league that's full of them, but we are a very poor side and a lot of our fans don't seem to realise this.

If we'd won 3 and drew 3 in 6 we'd not be a bad side.

 

[Bluerover]

I'm the biggest optimist i know, my mental health won't allow anything else; but that second half was utterly abject.

I need some of that. Thankfully Shamrock Rovers are keeping me somewhat sane. Everton ATM are a recipe for complete disillusionment.

 

[Stevie Nicks Bootleg]

One down at home to Spurs atm

Don't tell him that, he'll definitely want City to beat us now.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

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.

Eh? Why can't people get their heads around the differences of being good/bad and having good/bad form.

Lots of bad sides have stayed up by finding form.

 

[Stevie Nicks Bootleg]

We're on the verge of relegation and you have the RS on your mind?! If staying up means that they win the quadruple then so be it. It's amazing to me how some of our fans prioritise their results over ours. Maybe you and @davek can get together next weekend to support City.

Unbelievable isn't it. The fact that's its only February and they'll be top anyway, makes it even more embarrassing.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

If we'd won 3 and drew 3 in 6 we'd not be a bad side.

Again the old form vs quality thing proving to be a source of confusion.

 

[Bluerover]

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

We probably would have missed it!

 

[Brownie]

Romeu ran the game with ease unfortunately. If we'd had a player like him in the last few years we'd have been a million times better.

 

[roy vernon]

We were poor today, it happens, Southampton are a decent team in a real purple patch, we were away from home. Two nil defeat was pretty much what I expected, I'd have been delighted with a point today. Pickford played well, Richarlison put a shift in, the rest of them were average to poor, with the exception of Gomes, who was abysmal.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

We probably would have missed it!

We were actually playing alright when the incident in question happened
