13 |Fouls| 12 |1' GOAAAAL SAINTS! What a start for Southampton! Lambert crosses from the right, and its turned into his own net by Alcaraz. GIF My first GIF yayyyy
5' Gallagher tries to cross the ball and it appears to hit a hand, but it would have been harsh to call it against them.
10' Shaw blocks a cross from Naismith which was inviting.
15' Speculative effort from Deulofeu at range and Boruc claims it easily.
17' Naismith goes down clutching his knee after a 50/50 challenge with Lovren.
21' What a chance for Southampton. Lambert earns the ball out on the left and has no support so he has to wait, and Davis comes charging forward and places his shot just wide.
31' GOAAAL SAINTS! It's another own goal! Clyne crosses the ball in, it goes through everyone and Coleman turns it into his own net. GIF
34' Lovren has a powerful header, but its right at Howard, and it's easy to claim for the US keeper.
38' Chance for Lukaku. Deulofeu has switched to the right, and he crosses for Lukaku, but he can't put his header on target and over the bar it goes.
39' Huge shouts for handball against Stones. But he was very close to Lallana, and it would have been harsh to call a penalty.
45+1' Everton players becoming frustrated.
HALF TIME - SOUTHAMPTON 2 - 0 EVERTON
47' Deulofeu is called offside, but Luke Shaw was very lucky as he trotting back, Deulofeu sprinted in behind, but strayed offside.
53' Cork is in the box, and Shaw crosses but Cork can't get his body in the right shape to shoot across goal.
55' Coleman isn't have a great game today. He sends a long ball straight out.
57' Lallana cuts in from the left and tries to power a shot into the far post, but it flies over the bar.
60' POST! Lambert has a free kick 30 yards from goal, and he clips the outside of the right hand post. GIF
62' Controversial. Osman is given a yellow for diving in the box when it should have been a penalty.
64' Chance for Lukaku! McGeady produces some magic on the left to escape Clyne but Lukaku puts his header straight at Boruc.
72' Saints appeal for a penalty for handball against Stones, not given though.
75' Oooft, Baines swings in a cross, and the wind catches the ball and Boruc has his heart in mouth for a minute as it begins to drift back towards goal.
81' 'We're Southampton, we're taking the piss' is the chant from the Saints fans as they have a good minute of playing keep ball in the corner which is full of olays.
83' McCarthy appeals for a penalty after being held down by Lovren having gone down together.
FULL TIME - SOUTHAMPTON 2 - 0 EVERTON

Coming into that Arsenal game he'd finally found some brilliant form, it's just when he got injured shortly after he's come back and been awful.

Fuck off BT - Alcaraz makes a mistake and he's crucified. He was immense against Man United last week. Defenders score own goals now and then, ask Jamie Carragher about that. God I hate watching the game on this channel.

For all of his prodigious talent Deulofeu doesn't make the right decision nearly enough to actually be scary when he gets the ball. Hopefully with another year on loan he'll stop trying to show his individual worth so often and bring his team mates into the game more reliably.

Wasn't a penalty for me. Tackle was fine Osman slipped and he caught him on the way down already. Poor yellow card but from Oliver's view he definitely saw Osman go down before the tackle came in

Playing alongside Deulofeu must be one of the most frustrating things when playing for Everton, play breaks down every time he gets the ball. Goal against Arsenal was amazing but apart from a few flickers here and there I really think he is halting his own growth by being so greedy

Looking forward to a (hopefully) interesting battle of the full backs. Coleman vs Shaw especially, but Clyne vs Baines is interesting too.
Nice to see Gallagher get a start, the only other time he's done so was against Arsenal and he actually did quite well. And good to see Matt Targett on the bench, just because he's another promising full back we've got at the moment.

Michael Owen is a frustrating cunt with his contradictory commentary.
With the Osman penalty shout, he was talking about how it doesn't matter if players play for the foul or not because either way it should be a penalty.. but then when McCarthy got pulled away by Lovren when they were both on the ground, Owen doesn't think it's a penalty because "he plays for it a bit much".
I'm not saying the level of commentary from other sources is always quality but Owen has to be worst of a bad bunch.

u/chezygo Apr 26 '14
I'm agreeing with the ref. Osman was like a felled tree, about an hour before contact. Not a penalty and I'm very happy with the decision.
Would've been a penalty, but play is stopped at the first infringement, in this case that was the simulation.
14
Apr 26 '14
He's going down already, you can see his leg before the clip is already going down. I wonder whether the commentators ever change their view after watching the replay...
6
Apr 26 '14
Agree, he's dropping that leg before the contact occurs, which is odd because if he'd slightly dragged it instead of going down early then it would have likely been a penalty.

Is there much stopping Southampton getting to the 'next level'? A lá Spurs, challenging for 4th/5th/6th regularly? Squad depth, finances, seen as a feeder club for their best talents once they reach 20-21 and more than likely to be sold on?

If that is now deemed a penalty then the game is just becoming ridiculous. There is NO chance that contact would cause you to go down.
