Negatives
Giving the opposition goals by making silly mistakes. 8 games in the coaching staff should have fixed these issues. Diche fixed Everton's early season wobbles after 5 games.
O'Shea not a right back. Offers nothing going forward.
Burns not a Premier League player.
Morsy chasing shadows and being afraid to make a tackle in order to avoid a suspension.
Phillips seems to have gone off the boil. This has coincided with Morsy playing in second gear.
McKenna's stubbiness over selections. Omari offers so much more on the right. Leaving Szmodics on the bench far too long.
Positives
Omari on the right. Did more in the final 15 minutes than Burns did for the previous 75. By a long way.
Woolfie, Burgess, Clarke all looked comfortable. Clarke offered an attacking threat that O'shea didn't.
Delap working his nuts off and giving 100% for every minute he was on the pitch.
Southampton permanently psychologically scarred by today's defeat to Leicester.
Can anyone else add anything? |  |

Muric made some excellent saves - result could have been worse but for him stopping DCL in a couple of one-on-ones.
No yellow for Morsy so he’ll be available for next week.
Think you’re a bit harsh on Burns there too - created a fantastic chance on the counter for Clarke after 5 mins in or so. Didn’t have a great game by any means and awful error for their first goal, but had Clarke put that in the back of the net it might look a bit different.
Thought Omari looked great out on the right. We just weren’t able to get the ball to him in any pockets of space in the middle, but once he moved wide we managed to get it into him a lot more and that gave him an opportunity to show how dangerous he is. |  |

"McKenna's stubbiness over selections. Omari offers so much more on the right. Leaving Szmodics on the bench far too long."
KM obviously has his reasons, but given his speedy analyses & reactions in tweaking things over the past two seasons to cut down on errors & improve us, I just can't get my head round why that ain't happening too much this season so far. |  |

Is 'No yellow for Morsy so he’ll be available for next week' a positive? He's been a passenger for the last two games. I'd rather he got the booking out of the way and he was firing on all cylinders.
Playing at 50% to avoid a yellow in the Premier League is different than playing at 50% in League One and the Championship.
He could have had three yellows against Villa. I can't remember him putting in a crunching 50/50 tackle against West Ham or Everton. | |

No yellows for Delap who seemed to want one.. and I enjoyed his barge on Pickford.
I think we got lucky with 0-2. Everton took foot off the pedal the last 20 mins. |  | | |

Woolfie, Burgess and Clarke were all here before expensive imports arrived to demoralise and replace them. | |

Clarke and Burgess were "imports" to start and with. | |

Maybe there's something in the contract about where he plays? |  |

Negatives
You need to take your chances, or at least test the GK. That chance for Jack Clarke which he completely missed was criminal. Score that and all the pressure is on Everton
Not scoring generally. Last 2 seasons goals coming from all over the pitch
Hutchinson isn't a No.10 at the moment in the Prem, Chaplin created more space in his brief time on the pitch in the No10 position
We aren't trying anything different. Against Villa we opted for the formation of allowing Leif to bomb forward and the three defenders shifted slightly left, caused Villa loads of problems by trying something different.
We're also too slow playing the ball out.
No player was particularly bad, but not one was outstanding.
Positives
Omar looked dangerous on the right.
I still think it's like Forest 2 seasons ago, lots of new players, injuries at the wrong time. We're still gelling as Forest did and they survived, just.
Not winning is putting pressure on the players, I don't care what KM is saying about it not playing on their mind.
Still think we will survive
Jack Taylor keeps coming on and adding the energy we need. He deserves a start.
Slightly unusual positive as it's re Everton. But everyone talks about big physical players, but Ndiaye who is like a stick insect with the thinest thighs I've ever seen on a footballer was constantly beating town players in tackles, proving not every player has to be built like a brick shlt house. |  | | |
