Match Thread Southampton vs Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[degsy]

Good display, with plenty of fight. Nice to start enjoying watching them again! My god though, Gary Birtles on the highlights was doing his best to ruin it!

Caught a dose of Brian Clough-itis by proxy syndrome when he was younger - never got over it.

Shame it's a 7pm kick off on a Sunday evening.

Agreed!
An absolutely ridiculous time for a football match.

It’s purely for television audiences like it is in Spain, Italy and elsewhere.

But according to Eggs our fans all hold hands singing ring around the rosie.

We've got a great following as I say (one of the best away followings in the country 100%) but the dooey eyed "best fans in der werld" is kopite talk imo.

You're a belter of the highest order! Considering what we have had to put up with our fans are the best.

There's a bad 1% associated with any major club.

Hundreds of millions spent on players

New boss stadium being built

Regular top 7 finishes under Wee Davey and a few cup semi's and final.

7th, 8th, 8th under Koeman/Silva/Alladyce

Carlo Ancelotti as manager.

Last season was our first relegation battle since the early 00's and you are bleating on like we're Bolton.

Behave yerself.

 

[Toffeelover]

We are now unbeaten over the last six games, only one other club is so unbeaten.

Get it to about 7 and half minutes and enjoy

Best thing about that was watching and listening to the Everton fans in the background!

Great day thanks. Had the Toffee Brekky, followed by a a few beers. Great atmosphere in there and good beer selection. Got tickets for the Mets Monday night.

Should be a great one. Could decide the division

Bizarre time for a kick off !

All Gary bottles does is slag everyone off … constantly saying how crap the match is and how everyone is doing everything wrong

7 in all comps

3 wins, 4 draws. Nothing exceptional but good signs.

That's absolutely massive. Don't think we'll get turned over often this season if we can keep the spine of this team fit. The real question for me would be if we have enough firepower to turn draws into wins, as against the better teams that wouldn't have been anywhere near enough yesterday.

Did anyone watch on peacock tv? It sounded like they added the fake crowd noise which was super annoying.

Way better than last season.

Just watched the whole match. As others have said we were better first half than second but defended with resolution.

I went for Alex Iwobi for MoM, though I could have just as easily gone with Idrissa, the understanding between the two of them is impressive.

MacNeil plays so much better on the left than on the right, he should be played that way. Also his corners are better than Grey's who should stick to free kicks.
