Everton 2-0 Saints - Match Thread

[AlexLaw76]

Told you we would be 1-0 within 10 mins

this will be a thrashing 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Bah!

[madge]

Risk can absolutely feck off.. camped in our half , no out ball. It’s Everton not Man City.. not sure I’d want him anywhere near the youth team with a native approach like this.. shite defending !!!

[Viking Saint]

Stephens marking no one, shutting no one down and no attempt to make a block. Joke of a player

[Sheaf Saint]

Amazing. Just let Ndiaye walk through our defence to score. It's like we want to give them their big win today.

[Disco Stu]

I've never despised a team so much. Southampton that is.

[BranfootsLoveChild]

And that's it then. I normally like Mcoist but even he's spunking over Everton. Can't listen to 90 minutes of it, off to the pub.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Just ball watching lazy buggers!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Far too easy for them

[trousers]

As a defender, putting your hands behind your back and turning away from the shot, rather than going in for the tackle, should be a criminal offence.

Yep. Absolutely pathetic defending from our captain, once again. I really can't fucking wait for the day I never have to see him playing for us again.

How the fuck has someone so utterly shite managed to rack up 200 apps for us? 

[beatlesaint]

We are gonna crumble like a soft crumbly thing here aren’t we?

[Baird of the land]

Should have put more money on the everton win.

[HarvSFC]

Sulemana, Dibling and Aribo don't work hard enough off the ball, so Everton can progress the ball up the pitch at ease, as they did for the goal. Then they're bearing down on a defence, who are all also too scared to commit and N'Diaye had all the time in the world to pick out his shot.

Can't be big odds.....?

 

[Saint NL]

Commentators think there's only one team out there today.

 

They're not wrong tbf

[Saint Fan CaM]

And yet more suicidal passes out from the back to static players.

[sockeye]

Just absolutely zero effort whatsoever.

The ghost of Russball needs an exorcism.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nice bit of Russball to get it to Downes.

He does take a moment to get it under control. But loads of room and he pushes forward... with his best option arcing away to the side. The pass is easily intercepted. Lots of promise. Useless in the end.

[St. Ciervo]

Our backwards ball movement is looking great today, boys!

[saint michael]

Saints only aim is keep the ball to avoid more goals

Don't need a manager......need a Medium!

Sulemana and Dibling axis of shite

MF missed a tackle ,far too soft, as did Suly, Wood didn’t engage early enough and made a half hearted attempt to block it. Pathetic defending from those 3 that were more to blame for that particular goal.

In another game where we literally have nothing to lose. Do something different and try a shot ffs you useless twats

[Holmes_and_Watson]

A second move with promise in the middle. This involving Dibling. But they simply haven;t a clue how to drive to create a chance. Another easy interception.

Wrong set up again today, as we are being given the space to do something.

yeah just 2/5.

[Saint Fan CaM]

This team is as dynamic as a fucking brick with half the skill. There is no joy in watching these wasters.

[Saint_clark]

Why was the announcer acting like Ashley Young's last Everton home appearance is some hugely emotional moment? He's been there for two years.

Keep Ferguson off the commentary for fuck sake.

[Midfield_General]

Everton making pre-planned sub after 18 minutes. They’re treating it like a charity friendly, and they’ll still beat us.

Fucking embarassing

[trousers]

Everton taking the piss now by turning it into a Coleman mini-testimonial. Come on Saints... Start pissing on their bonfire!

If you sign a player from a lower mid-table Championship club for a League 1 fee, funnily enough they aren’t anywhere near good enough in the top flight.

[saintant]

Why kick that out for a corner? Shocking!

[trousers]

Why the f*** did Welington kick that off for a corner...?!

[sockeye]

Can we terminate the entire defense's contracts?

[benali-shorts]

I don’t think Wood understands how to play CB 

[Saint NL]

Lack of communication is showing there with Wellington 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

And they've been playing with someone not 100% in Coleman. Just giving him a 20 min tribute run out.

I expect Joe Royle to make a sub appearance (about the same age as Ashley Young 🙂 ) and get 4.

Just an end of season/ stadium celebration for them against a team they would have picked for an easy finale.

Wearing Wellington boots there.

[saint michael]

They clearly had another great week training.

 

[Saint_clark]

We had someone up front who was effective and regularly causing problems for defences, as well as getting goals. Why on earth has Onuachu been frozen out AGAIN?

[John Boy Saint]

Maybe Young in his last game can gift us a penalty………………IF we get that far up the pitch!!

Sanda?

He’s a little rough round the edges

Has some Power

Bit of a Tool

I wonder if they got 3 days off again, like they did before the Man City game...?

Dreadful signing. Another loan out next season happening, one of many. At least unlike Bazanu we shouldn’t have to subsidise the wages too much.

Safety first… We’re probably better at defending corners, then mincing around passing out from our own  goal kicks. 

[Saint_clark]

Good job delaying that pass till Wellington was offside, Fernandes. Not as if he was in acres of space the entire time. 

[saint michael]

Good to see the laundry bills are down no sweat no wash shirts
