Match Thread Everton v Southampton 1/3/21 - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[paulbefc]

We need to start winning some of these games or we'll drop out of the European places.

Hopefully with a near full squad back, we'll be able to avoid XIs like the Fulham one and start being a bit more consistent.

Top 6 is still on and would be a really good season if we could get it. Top 4 isn't worth talking about until we've at least won our next two games. We'll then need to get something at Chelsea.

Mentality will be key in this match. I really hope we start quickly and could even live with going direct for the first 20 minutes.

If we are ponderous at the back they will take it from us and look to press like Newcastle, Fulham etc. That's why I think getting it forward quickly and having early shots on goal could set the tone.

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

Fair enough. Onward and backward... ...

Come on Ev' make this haslenut beaut eat his words.

Imagine a man like Carlo getting on his knees for a cry after beating the RS. I'd sooner go another 22 years than see that.

Why hasn’t the Villa game been pencilled in for this week?

The phrase "take every game as it comes" was never truer than in our case.

Why hasn’t the Villa game been pencilled in for this week?

Presumably because they’ll want to schedule it 48 hours before we play City in the Cup

 

[Carloblues]

Just hope we can follow up the Derby with a home win or it all seems a bit pointless.

Confidence will be high
DCL and Allan back
Full week break
Richy back on form

This season we have been the epitome of,after the Lord Mayor's Show.

This will be a comfortable win and ings will not get a sniff. The lads have learned from Fulham and Newcastle. Its the end of Everton That and the start of Everton This

Hope you're right mate. Been a great few days for the club so hopefully the team doesn't get complacent

 

[Northeastblue]

From these barely registering on my hatred radar, I'm afraid they've gone stratospheric recently. Their manager is a c#@t, Ings is a c#@t, Ward-Prowse is a snidey, overrated RS wannabe, and the two big clunks at the back need filling in.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Lets hope FC Sexy turn up and devour them!

 

[lieneverton]

The way Southampton are pressing against Leeds at the moment, we're going to struggle unless we sort our act out from recent home performances.
