Match Thread Everton v Southampton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Eiffel 65]

City have maybe 4 regular starters here.
They will make changes and can still win it

Even if city end up winning this 2-5, Southampton have still done more than we could have hoped for by scoring two actual goals in a single game!

 

[Jamiednm]

On a positive note, if we only get beat by one goal, we still did better than City against them (so far).

So uh, yeah, there’s that.

If they concede 5 it will be 4 more then we did against city .
Tonight's game has no bearing whatsoever on Saturday.

 

[Brendan Janus]

You just know Ward-Prowse will score a free kick Saturday !!

2-1 Everton, Saints v City has nothing to do with how the game goes Saturday, it's how we play on the day regardless of their previous result as in Cup, infact a win for Saints v City may make them to confident

Hmmmmmmm surly it’s well known that if you win games you build confidence

City had 71% of the ball in first half but Southampton were too aggressive for them. Hopefully they will be worn out by Saturday.

Parking the bus seems to be the best chance we have in games tbf

 

[Ralphie Boy]

The striker they have brought on from the bench (who is dog Doodie) is the forward we want!

Says it all really.
