Match Thread Southampton v Everton (Sunday 25 October 14:00)

[ToffeeTim]

We have to defend much better going forward. I dont have much confidence in this defence keeping clean sheets

 

[deipnosophist]

I thought Pete Andre was relatively assured today. After receiving a Seanpromise for his tackle on St Virgil of Van Dyke, I thought he was quite composed. Whilst a Seanpromise isn’t as threatening as a Roscoe fatwa, it’s not something you want hanging over your head every time you pop out for some bread and milk...so kudos to Pete for handling that well.

 

[TheNinja]

For running behind a player and an accidental coming together?

No mate.

It was no accident... Made to look like one yes, but it wasn't. We know Digne does this all the time when he loses the ball and chases back. Probably didn't mean to rake down his achilles, but he did. Very dangerous.

 

[TommyDavo]

I've accepted it. I'm not about to use his first bad game as a comparison for Alex Iwobi's 30th, though.

Glad you agree

 

[argietoffee]

Wlacott or Kean werent pulling up any trees if we are been honest.

they werent even collecting the leaves

 

[heatmeiser]

The one good thing to come out of today was everyone being reminded that Iwobi is not premier league footballer. Barely warrants championship football.

Literally not a braincell, terrible touch and tactically ... as astute as a recently released sex offender at a supermodel sleepover

He looked genuinely terrible. Niasse levels of ineptitude.

Anyone get to the bottom of why the clear push off the ball of Rodriguez in the first half, wasn't a penalty?

Yes I agree and it did not even go to VAR.

 

[R.Reddington]

Of course you do you blag Klopp wannabe

[Poor language removed] off you lad. He’s a red him!

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Our form was always going to be dependent on keeping a settled side. Next game we are going to be without Coleman, Digne, Richarlison and JR

We should have been looking at minimum 7 points out of 9 going into the international break.

Be lucky to get 3 points out of 9 considering the players available to us these next two games.

Ralf Hasenhuttl on Digne's red card: "He tried before to kick him, finally he hit him from behind. It was a clear red card for me."

A quote taken directly from the German guide to being a Premier League manager

 

[Hantakun]

I blame the green shirts

 

[JohnRoss23]

We lack serious depth. No way we finish top 4 with Iwobi, Siggy, Davies, etc. coming off the bench.

 

[The Trinity.]

Ok.....that was awful today. Sort of knew something like that would happen. When you ser a makeshift right-back. (Godfrey is not a RB). And then you see Siggy and Iwobi in the line up. Then it's all about hoping for the best. Hoping that these players can become what we all want them to become. Bit they never do.
Same old nonsense from last season........
TBH nobody deserves any praise today. Just a bad day all round.
But we now must bounce back next week. Start losing too many matches in this league and we will start slipping down the table. Every team is capable of beating each other. So now slip up next week.........thank you.

So it now Looks like Nkounkou will now get a few games. With hopefully Gordon in front of him. Please no more of Iwobi. I've been guilty of giving g this guy a chance. But he is just not doing it. Why would he start next week?he
I'm lost today for a reason Why we were so bad. Maybe next week get someone closer to DCL.
Maybe become proper "dogs of war". Set up more not to get beat. Take our chances to win matches. But also take draws when they.come.
Far too early to even think that this team has regressed back to the rubbish of last season. But a win is now vital next week. We don't want to be lost g to Southampton and then Newcastle. Confidence and all that.
Rant over. Just let's get back on track next week. UTFTs......

Will celebrate when Hasenhuttl gets sack in the future.

Klopps successor right there.
