Saints V Everton - Match Thread

Unlucky Forster

Talk about undeserved though. We’ve been far superior to them.

Are you f-ing kidding. Just out luck.

That fact we'll go in at HT not winning against this dross is a sackable offence in itself.

1 shot on target = 1 goal.

Totally avoidable goal, purely down to the negative approach of pishing around at the back.

As soon as it went to Siggi in that spot I was screaming at the defense to stop backing off. Surely they know this guy?

They’ve done f**k all. Saying that, we’ve not worked their keeper enough.

Bertrand is as thick as pig****. Just seen Siggi tie it up and could have had a pop himself but dallies on it and them misses a pass. Hit it ffs!

Now then.

How much do we want this? What can MoPe do to shake things up?

Big, big half coming up.

It’s a carbon copy of the Brighton game except Everton equalised earlier. Poor poor management from a negative, hopeless manager. Much better performance but the momentum was sucked out of us by sitting back and messing about playing keep ball. Was so obvious what was going to happen.

There we have it. Everton have been utter sh!the for the entire half, yet somehow we have contrived to let them back in it.

Good finish, but FFS they have been so bad they should be dead and buried by now. Awful from us to allow that, but oh so predictable.

I very much doubt we will win this now.

**** me how many times have we conceded from long range this season. Why is every ****er in SMS, except the ones in red and white on the pitch, can see it coming. The saints defence just ran away and invited him to shoot.

Trying to chip it down the line when playing out from your own box always seems dangerous - chances of mis-control and losing possession 35 yards out is just so much higher.

Totally avoidable goal, purely down to the negative approach of pishing around at the back.

After the goal there was a stoppage and JWP was called to the bench for instructions. I’m guessing now it was “sit back, it’s the last thing they’d be expecting us to do”.

A draw is no good for us. We need to hit them and hit them hard.

Will our negative manager have the balls to do so though???

Easily our best 45 minutes of football this season. Sigurdson's goal was a great shot no blame on Forster for that one but we should have closed him down quicker.

FFS that is gutting, we have to win this and totally deserve to be winning.

Pellegrino has to go.

This Everton team is soo sh*te and we've let them back into the game.

Just stuck a tenner on Everton to win, return was £65

VVD has been a f***** disgrace. That goal is mainly on him (and Bertrand dithering at the back instead of clearing it when he had the chance).

Doesn't matter that Saints have been far superior - still can't work the opposition goalkeeper and we look terrible at the back. What on earth has Yoshi/Stephens done wrong.

VVD is not half the [player before his injury.

Rooney will come on and boss it

Its so easy for opposition teams these days come to SMS barely get out off your half, take your one chance, go home with some points.

We’re ****ing losing this. Everton are a total shambles but our negative tactics are just the tonic teams need. Ffs.

Totally agree but as soon as we scored we sat back and tapped it around as per Pell’s instructions against Brighton. We won’t get anywhere with this guy in charge.

There are more positives than negatives. If we attack them and go direct, we will win. Sit back and be patient and we’ll lose.

yes, we only had 1 shot on target. Difference from other games, we scored it.

them coming back was obvious and we will do well to hang on. We certainly wont be making Pickford earn his wage that is for sure

we became less adventurous as the half went on...nothing new

Corrr! thats the best 45 minutes... wait no more like 25 minutes, good old MoPe thinking ''we'll sit on this 1 nil, that'll do me for a days work''

Err we are drawing... still we the half time race to liven things up

Crossbar, Post, crossbar, line and then in. We never getvluck like that. Ffs.

Best performance so far this season but here we are still not winning.

I meant, we will lose.

So we will lose as there’s no chance our idiot manager will change his ways. Even if we come out and nick a second we will then sit back for the inevitable Rooney equaliser in stoppage time.

We scored the shot though so that's progress..

TBF We've hit the post, Austin ****ed a good chance up and VVD, left totally open at a corner managed to put, wide when getting it on target would have been easier. Should have had a pen for handball to.

I must be watching a different game to you lot. You all keep crapping on about how we sit back and sit back and invite pressure. Pretty sure I've been watching us go forward again and again but without being able to find any end product.

And then they get a ridiculous worldy because we faff about one time to many.

Clearly not creating and converting more clear chances = sitting back sitting back.

I meant, we will lose.

We'll that's a given...

Shows how good we can be against the current worst team in the Epl .

No surprise we let them back in to the game

What has Andy Townsend done to have to co-commentate on Saints each week. Poor bastard.

I don't think we sat back quite as much as at Brighton but the basic point that we don't go for the jugular when on top with this ***t in charge is a totally valid one. Let's see if he learns his lesson and actually goes for it against a totally beatable side in the 2nd half.

We really miss a leader on the pitch. It’s been pretty much that way since Fonte had his little paddy.

It was easily our best 45 minutes of the season. End of. That doesn't mean it didn't have it's faults.

I think this 2nd half will determine Pellegrino's fate.

Dead ball specialist JWP muffed is free kick.

Slow slow slow slow

So ****ing pedestrian, we need to be pouring forward, not waiting for Everton to regroup. Did Fergies Utd walk around waiting for the oppo?

AUSTIN!!!!

Get in!!

Austin shows why he should be playing. No other striker of ours could do that.
