I think Everton will stay up like, a spawny win at home like that was needed. Atmosphere looked great at times too, I don't think the league really benefits from a side like them or Leeds dropping tbh. Absolutely awful game though and probably the first test of complacency Howe has had. Even then though if we have a decent striker we probably win comfortably

It happens all the time and I've never seen a red given because it's never been a red card offence. I'm assuming something has been said and referees are stamping down on just 'taking players out' but you cannot just start enforcing it halfway through a season.

Pawson gave them the perfect fairytale like. Absolute fucking whoppa.

Absolutely ridiculous decision that like

VAR should red that like

Should hold a public execution on the pitch.

Fraser looked like a mascot there

I can understand starting Fraser over him tbf like. But that would be if we had other forwards than Wood and Murphy. Currently if fit and the fixture list allows it they should both obviously start

Like I'm in no way defending any of the actions of anyone involved with the PIF, and anyone who wants to maturely inform an audience of any of it is more than welcome. Not sure why we have to respect cockends baiting the manager of NUFC with pointless questions, or the gobshites attacking the fans like.

Basically this. The amount of hoop jumping most Western people have to do in order to claim the moral high ground here is impossible to even fathom The interviewer is clearlly being a cunt. It's the kind of performative shite I'd expect from PETA.

VAR checked the pen but the ref wasn't called over to review it. The VAR team must have been happy with whatever Coote's perspective of it was which is baffling given he gave a corner.

Burn and Dubravka both could have done better but it's splitting hairs really. As for VAR, I think this new 'instant' offside tech they're looking to bring in will be great, that and spotting off the ball incidents are a good use of the technology imo. In general though the ref either needs to be given full uninterrupted control (essentially removing VAR outside of offsides and off ball issues) or the exact opposite, and have his decisions during big calls being completely overruled when and where necessary. This process we have currently is completely mental.

He wins a lot in the air but I never notice it as he rarely makes anything of it. It's probably still effective in some mad stats geek way but I deffinitely don't get old school target man vibes from him.

100%

I thought it was one of his better games visually tbh As a team we consistently see things break down in the final third, he contributes to this but everything is exasperated when our wide forwards carry very little threat.

He'd look at home pulling a creamy bucket in like.

Aye, they can get away with the whole 'Shearer did that every week' bants for the elbow but that penalty decision was something else. Even Caragher was laughing at how ludicrous it was.

Worst VAR performance of the season against us. There's absolutely no excuses left anymore for how fucking stupid this shite is.

Howe's biggest ask is probably just that players understand and follow his instructions and Miggy has possibly just been a bit behind on that.

I often forget that Southampton are owned by a local lad who pulled them up through the Football League on a window cleaners budget like.

I think Howe would have that sorted out pretty quick if it was the case like.

Was actually proper creased when he did that. He seemed to emphasise the fact he was being a total cunt with the theatrical roll, it was beautiful.

We only found out about Willock's toe injury and Joelinton's thigh issue months later. ASM often comes on strapped up like a ninja turtle so it wouldn't be a massive surprise if he'd had a similar problem (or problems) which we've been keeping an eye on and making decisions game to game.

I agree with you I'm just saying if people want to play the semantics game every goal has 'luck' behind it as every goal is on a scale of probability. No football fan would actually call that a 'lucky' goal unless they were being disingenuous. It was a 'low probability' effort though, same as any 25 yarder.
