Southampton v Everton: Premier League – Live! | Football

“Digne red,” says Arran Ridley. “Digne means worthy in French.”

Case closed, Lieutenant Columbo.

“Perhaps it is fitting that Everton are dressed in meerschaum as they bid farewell to their undefeated streak,” Grant Tennille emails.

Also, since when was it foam green?

90 + 5 min “Six points separate the top fifteen teams,” says Bill Hargreaves, “some of whom have a game on their hands. The last five have had it, in terms of title aspirations. Probably.”

It’s cool isn’t it? Before the season, I would have supported Manchester City, but after seeing them several times, I start to wonder if this team is finished and if Guardiola has the ability or the desire to rebuild. So I would support Liverpool.

90 + 4 min Alan Smith gives Redmond the man of the match award, which is fair enough, but he probably would have gone for Ings.

90 + 2 min Calvert-Lewin leaves a boot on Vestergaard and is booked. He has had better days.

90 + 1 min “It’s not a band,” says Justin Kavanagh, “but let’s mention Manchester United’s second best band, this three-striped marvel from the 1977 Charity Shield. That match was shown on Irish TV last night and, silly I am, I watched it. without remembering that it was a 0-0 draw. Better than their 0-0 draw earlier in the day, mind. There is a total lockdown in Ireland, in my defense. “

Oh my days, that’s inspired programming!

90 min “I watched the replay five times,” responds Mike MacKenzie. “It was a well-deserved red as Digne’s cleats raked the Achilles area of ​​Water-Peters (and of course it was from behind). NBC commentators are useless. “

That was certainly my reading.

87 min “I certainly agree that the Saints have been good overall last season and this season so far,” says Mike MacKenzie. “But I think it shows the main problem with PL, which is the unequal distribution of income between teams. A team like Southampton (or Wolves in recent years) can get pretty decent but they hit a plateau. Upgrading means buying more expensive players that they can’t afford and then rich teams come calling their best players. Better revenue sharing is essential for the league to be competitive in the long term. “

Yes, I agree with all of that except using Wolves as an example. It’s complicated as I don’t believe in making players play anywhere they don’t want to because their job belongs to them. However, the only aspect that would make the biggest difference is probably not even financial, but simply reducing the number of subscriptions allowed.

86 min Southampton replaces Armstrong, who has made a monstrous trade considering, with Diallo. Why we need a stadium announcer to tell us this, I’m not entirely sure.

85 min In fairness to Everton, assuming they lose this, they will still be the best in the league full time.

84 min Charming of Romeu, nonchalantly rising over the Everton defense, Schuster-style, for the speedy Ward-Prowse, but just can’t catch up.

81 min “NBC commentator insists Digne red is not necessary,” tweets Ron Stack, “says a ‘more trained eye on football’ would see it differently.”

I don’t know, I would need to see it again, because when doing MBM, you spend as much time looking at your fingers and the console as the actual game, but it seemed perfect in the first half of the look. I’m not sure who gave that opinion, but I’ve been watching football for 38 years; How many do you need to be considered “soccer trained”? I would venture to say that the officials have also been around for a few years.

80 min Everton eventually put Calvert-Lewin on the ball in the box, but it was easily unloaded.

78 min Southampton wants more here and wins a corner to the right where Betrand turns to the far post, where Vestergaard, 9 “4 tall, has somehow gotten into a battle with Gordon, 3” 5 tall. But it can only cross the bar.

77 min Girdle Kits, email Ed Thorpe. “Can we give thanks for this beautiful effort from Dulwich Hamlet Women, which is so enjoyable that men sometimes borrow it as a third team?”

A bit of Party Rings, but very clever nonetheless.

76 min Calvert-Lewin has barely had a kick, and dropping down the left, Bednarek easily frustrates him.

75 min Digne will miss the away games with Newcastle and Fulham, which are sandwiched in the home game with Manchester United. With Richarlison also absent for the first two and Coleman injured, they have a problem.

73 min Digne insists that he wasn’t serious and pushes something his way down the tunnel; if only there were some way to proceed that would give us an idea of ​​their intention.

My dear, what a misguidance of the head! Walker-Peters runs away from Digne, who has a trick, fails, raises his arms, making a difference, and then applies a stamp on the Achilles. See you in three games, mate; absolute afterwards.

71 min “It would be helpful to neutrals if Southampton could decide if they are going to be pitiful or decent,” says Stephen Carr, “as I’m struggling to keep up.”

They have been good for quite some time, I would say, and they have been very good tonight.

70 min Bern “bites your legs” Ard accidentally makes noise with Walker-Peters, who comes from his blind side. He’s briefly depressed, but we go fast with the game.

69 min Everton are pushing now, but still struggling to create. A deciding factor seems more likely than a live one.

65 min I just found out that Clive Allen played for seven London clubs, if we count that he doesn’t play for Arsenal. Can anyone top that? I also remember the absolutely lush ensemble that she wore to Bordeaux, complete with long shorts. This is not exactly so, but it is also nice.

64 min In a game almost completely devoid of reducers, it takes the smallest man on the field to manage one, Bernard making noise with Romeu. He is reserved and it would be good if you would watch his steps from now on.

63 min Looking again, Ings might have been slightly ahead of the game. He must have left it for the man who comes in.

62 min What?! Redmond picks up a loose ball after Adams’ helpful foraging, sliding out of it towards Armstrong; his cross is a marvel, but somehow Ings manages to avoid touching it at home! No idea.

61 min I saw Gordon play for Everton in the League Cup game against Salford. He seemed like a serious talent, and I suppose he will play behind Calvert-Lewin.

59 min “No discussion of frame kits would be complete without mentioning Crystal Palace. Here’s a mid-80s beauty. “

The one I found predated that, but it’s the same idea. My guess is that the photo was taken after Allen signed for Palace from Arsenal, whom he had joined for £ 1.25 million only to walk away without playing, in a trade for Kenny Sansom.

58 min Ancelotti returns to go, bringing the extremely exciting Anthony Gordon for Doucoure, and also sending Delph for Sigurdsson.

57 min Digne crosses and Walker-Peters has both hands above his head, giving Everton a free kick just outside the box, on the left side. Sigurdsson decides to swing it, but can’t avoid the first man.

56 min Whatever Ancelotti said at halftime, it didn’t work. The problem is that it is not packed with options that can solve it. However, two strikers at least would change things.
