Ings for a hatrick then...lol.

 

[UptheTofees]

Can we please get revenge on these?

I dislike them for some reason

Smash them

I'd go with a workman midfield of Allan doucoure and davies

The golden 3 up top

I like to not change a winning team, but on the day go with the best we have available

 

[bicycleheader]

Hey carlo. Do whatever you think is best for this game

Cheers

Allan docoure and Davies in midfield would be good to see with Tom in the holding roll.

 

[Jimmyjoe]

Pickford - Holgate, Keane, Godfrey, Digne - Allan, Davies, Doucoure - James, DCL, Richy.

Think that is our best team on paper at the moment. Have Davies holding and Allan and Doucoure playing in front of him and then let the front 3 do that they can do best.

Really fancy us to get a good win on Monday. Early goal, and then a couple more in the 2nd half

 

[deipnosophist]

Ings is nailed on to score...I see a lacklustre home performance looming...2-0 to the striped team (sadly)

 

[Caolam]

We now need to make beating Liverpool look at a significant change in our outlook and that means beating teams like Southampton and picking up points. A win here is essential to any European ambitions we have. I see no reason not to expect a good win.

 

[Davideeyore]

Deja vu? See v West Ham, Newcastle and Fulham

Best hope is the players surely surely have understood it now? Know what it takes to be successful. Put that effort in lads.

I hope to see Allan back in the starting lineup for this one. If he can get 60 minutes under his belt with no after-effects, that would be significant for us.

Three points and no injuries please.

 

[Frenk]

OK.

 

[NathDogg]

Need to smash these south coast Tory plassy kopite shithouses all over the gaff.

Can't stand Poundland Klopp, with his chirping up about sir Jordan and slaggin us off in general, but mostly for his crying like a bitch after beating that lot - make him cry again blues, humiliate them.

Carlo can do what he wants selection wise, I'm not moaning anymore - they just need to show the same discipline and effort as they did at Mordor from now until season end - please Everton, use Saturday and what it means to us all for the right reasons.

 

[UptheTofees]

Would be nice to put another 9 piece on these kopite rs wanna be clowns

Some people don't learn do they? I just hope our players and manager have learned. We're getting the same arrogant rubbish in here that we got before the Newcastle and Fulham games about battering them or teaching them a lesson. They are a strong running team who were top of the league earlier this season, and who are capable of beating any team in the Premier League on their day. We need to start with a good attitude and try and get hold of the ball and dictate play. The first goal will be important as their confidence will be fragile. However, they just drew against Chelsea, who'd won 4 games on the bounce and were full of confidence. They are no pushovers, and we will have to fight for every ball to get a foothold in the game. They do have form for giving up if they get 2 or 3 behind, but when was the last time we went 3 goals ahead of anyone?
