Everton 2-0 Saints - Match Thread

[trousers]

F*** me... Why hasn't Rusk made several subs yet, given the players currently on the park have no intention whatsoever of getting out of neutral gear...?

Let’s unleash our Tall Paul in the second half 

Not sure we'd get away with bringing on a player who's not in the match day squad...?

His "coaching for dummies" manual says to make a triple sub on 65 mins.

Would be funny to let an outfielder keep a clean sheet for 50 minutes.

Ultimate piss take and our lot wouldn’t even care

[Challenger]

Was going to say this lot are an embarrassment to the great ex Saint's players of the past, but to be honest they are to the hardworking bang average ones as well.

They could just take him off. It's not as though his goal is going to have any traffic near it.

When they all have their energy gel.....

[Saint NL]

Now it's 2-0

[John Boy Saint]

Jeez 

cue the Laurel and Hardy theme tune 

[Divergent]

Absolute tossing rubbish.

There goes to the hope of selecting 10 fans, by half time raffle, to join Ramsdale for the second half, improving our chances of getting a result.

[saintant]

Knew we'd concede right on half time. The good news we have eleven fresh players for the second half because this lot have done zero running or pressing. 

[trousers]

FFS Ramsdale 

[Colinjb]

Why am I watching this again?

[AlexLaw76]

LOL

[Viking Saint]

Piss poor yet again. Embarrassing 

[Disco Stu]

That killed it.

[benali-shorts]

In Wood, we have amazingly managed to unearth a CB who is worse than anything we already had 

[Streaky]

Disgrace of a performance. Can't even be bothered. Pampered millionaires, hate them all.

[SambaMaverick]

£20m for Harwood Bellis hahahaha

[sockeye]

Time to switch off

True, but you can't just stand in an offside position and wait for the pass. Schoolboy stuff.

He didn't, he was making a forward run and ended up offside because the pass was delayed too much. 

 

2-0, what the hell was that defending. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Fuck me, that's just comical.

[Saint NL]

Var going to save us again??

I reckon our coaching staff got lost in the contents pages of Coaching For Dummies.

To be fair he was not protected by any of our five fucking defenders.

[benali-shorts]

I despise them all

Nope, not this time

[davefizzy14]

another really poor goal to concede.

THB was in midfield

Aribo covering CB

Nothing up top

1 more game left of Rusk-ball

Killed what? This game was over from the first kick-off. Our players have just coasted around and helped contribute to the Evertonian celebrations. Disgrace the lot of them.

Thanks Russ!

[Saint NL]

Good effort lads, same again in the second half.

[AlexLaw76]

Reckon the fans will applaud them at FT, as per? 

[davefizzy14]

Surely we have to change things up now at half time. Time to go go back to a back four and get a focal point up top.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

"and he can walk it in"

Perfect summation of the game. They can do what they like at whatever pace they want. We are so ponderous and clueless in our gutless set up, that we let it happen.

More than the players needing a clearout.

[trousers]

If the laws of the game allowed it, I'd take off all 11 players at half time and replace them with 5 subs. Couldn't do any worse. 

[Baird of the land]

I understood the approach last week against City but i have no clue why we have not tried to be slightly more positive today. An expected goals of 0, funny.

[AlexLaw76]

Surely Rusk will change it a bit and have a go?

[davefizzy14]

Surely Ross Stewart has to come on at half time.

[Wade Garrett]

This team have zapped any affection I had for the club.  Bunch of charlatans.  Fucking lazy cunts who should be embarrassed to pick up their wages packets.

Fuck Southampton, had a fucking gutful of them.

[saintant]

Everton are being allowed to play between the lines with absolute ease. We don't even try to play between the lines - not sure our coaches even know what it means.

[Saint Matty 76]

It's funny to think that despite all of his huge flaws, Martin actually had this team competing in a number of games this season

Fair play to Rusk for stopping us breaking/equalling the record, but from manager to manager we have got more and more unwatchable to the point now that I actually don't see how we could be any worse

No shots, no effort and just a complete waste of time. Why aren't we giving it a bit of a go today with literally nothing on the line?

He was standing still by the time the pass was played, and didn't even try to get back onside. 

Anyway, it feels a little pointless arguing over something so insignificant when there's so much else to criticise today.

The issue is far deeper than the players - the fanbase has applauded this shit all season.

Don’t forget it’s Lallana as well.  Another cunt who can fuck off.
