God, what a pile of shite that was.
Donāt think that they needed so much help from Mason when we made it hard enough for ourselves.
Much better second half.
Ripping the midfield apart to put forwards on was brave but an error in hindsight. We just didnāt control the game from that point on.
Pleased with some of our attacking play.

Well, we did well to only lose 2-1.
We were a joke defensively, especially in the first half.
I like Ings and McCarthy, not bothered about anyone else.
Hoedt and Stephens were poor. Lemina didnt do much apart from get lucky not be sent off. Romeu anonymous. Gabbi and Long offered little when they came on. Austin has been poor for both games so far. I forgot Redmond was playing.
All in all, 2-1 is actually a good result for us - What are the Chinese saying!

Did we play 4 at the back because it was the right thing to do it because Vestergaard wasnāt fit?
Had we prepared all week for 4 or 5.
Dunno.
Still feels like Hughes has not really understood how to set us up and with which personnel.
It feels to me that Hoedt and Stephens are actually as bad as the SWF gang make out. Iāve always given Hoedt the benefit of the doubt but both looked completely out of their depth today. They honestly donāt look like they have a clue what to do. We should have signed Wes Morgan from Leicester - we need someone with big balls. We havent even got sweet and sour pork balls because the Chinese have gone missing.

I may have over-egged the last bit about the chinese
I donāt want to see Hoedt, Stephens or Lemina in a red and white shirt ever again. Wtf did I just see ? First half we looked like we were on the fucking beach somewhere in La La Land. Second half it kind of kicked in after Sparky had put a few fuck in to them but fuck me that was bad. We were never at the second ball. Our defence ā¦ fuck me thatās a car crash. Iām normally in the happy clapping camp but Iām 4 Ghost Ships down and fucking mithering. I hate this club ā¦ COYR. Next week weāll be winners. SCD out.

45% of Sotonian voters said we would win. 
WTF were you thinkingā¦we havenāt won at Everton since I was a young manā¦Get a grip.
OK we lost and I voted for a score draw. I donāt think that was a bad callā¦we had our chances and despite our poor defending could have grabbed a point if weād taken our chances. On another day Danny would have had a couple.
So after 2 games we have a pointā¦about what was expected at the start of the season. Hughes will knock them into shapeā¦like a lot of defensive units take out a keystone and the unit looks fragile. Letās hope the keystone is back to shore up the defense for the rest of the season.
What is the problem with Maya & Bednarek? Not fit yet or what?

The first 5 balls into our box from free kicks or corners were won by Everton players largely uncontested.
Time to do a Adkins on this one I think

Flatline?
The redline in the mirror?
Only eat bacon for a week?
Sack the defence and bring in 4 unknown Argieās?
Maya surely should start the next match.
