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

[Frenk]

What is Allan doing!

 

[4 Eyes Better Than 2]

We give them soooooo much time on the ball.

Putting 3 passes together would be great

 

[aglee]

The manager has fallen for the “don’t change a winning team” thing.

Always play your best team and I don’t think we’re doing that today

It’s a good way of motivating players though. Play well, keep your place. Underperform and you’ll be replaced.

 

[Obes]

Koff Allan giving the ball away needlessly.

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

First 15 minutes were good, they’ve got on top since then. Giving the ball away far too easily when we get the ball into their half. DCL has been anonymous, Gordon’s been wasteful when he’s had the ball and Iwobi is back to his usual.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Iwobi is back in clown mode. Gordon is invisible.

 

[DOMNOLAN]

I’m not enjoying this at all

 

[lungo]

We need to restart at half time. Southampton playing pretty well but I think we edge them on quality

Nope! Laughable!

 

[jazzy]

Refs knocked the confidence out of us here, we can't get stuck in due his his hopeless officiating, but they can kick lumps out of us.

Just need to get on the ball and calm it down a bit.

Spot on . Allan afraid to make a tackle for fear of another yellow.

 

[dublinbluenose]

We're all over the shop

 

[Bluerover]

Keane has been a standout for us this half. Dominant so far.

There is a player in there. I have posted this before. Needs proper management.

 

[lieneverton]

Matter of time, this.

 

[BigBlueConk]

It's not been that bad. We are playing a very good in form team here. Stick to our game plan and increase our intensity of the press

Very even start, but I think they will be disappointed to have not scored one of the good chances.
They have taken a grip and we are just surviving at the moment.

 

[sheedys left foot]

It’s a good way of motivating players though. Play well, keep your place. Underperform and you’ll be replaced.

By that theory iwobi should be subbed at this stage

 

[ToffeeDan]

Everton Results Website shows we have only had 26 (converted) penalties in 20 League seasons away from home. (40 home 26 away 2002-03 to present day). So barely one a season.
