Everton v Southampton. 29th Dec @ 13.30.

Nice one

 

[MartSlinger]

Even if Jags is out, Alcaraz will do a fine job, don't worry. We've got this.

Yep. Very good defender, which many stated throughout the Summer.
Only problem being is the captaincy is up for grabs, Osman being vice captain, is probably guaranteed a start.

 

[Titus Bramble]

Jags is out so there's no way we can win? Ok.

 

[Petit]

I've written this off now, tbh.

A draw will be the only thing we get out of this...at best.

I'm expecting more *gifts* from that Sunderland catastrophe as the Christmas period unfolds.

With the size of our squad we were bound to have a rough patch with injuries. We need to suck it up and roll up our sleves. Forget about about sexy football for the time and focus on doing whatever it takes to win. A 1-0 win from a dodgy penalty in the first minute followed by being outplayed and under the cosh for 89 minutes would do me nicely.

Jagielka
Deulofeu
Gibson
Kone

...this season is looking suddenly very cursed.

Maybe McCarthy will take captaincy...

A new cb pairing against these lot is not ideal, but let's not write the game off yet. This is Southampton at home not Barcelona. We still have enough to beat these.

 

[MartSlinger]

Maybe McCarthy will take captaincy...

Heres hoping. Maybe even Coleman perhaps.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Tell you what i've noticed, not captain related like but Oviedo isn't scared to shout at players if they mess up. Didn't really think he was the type to do that but it's surprised me!

 

[Deco]

Calm down lads. We've got this.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Good luck blue. Smash deeze back to the Stone age please.

As far as seniority it will be Osman, Baines or Howard obviously (maybe Baines isn´t in the squad though?).

 

[davek]

How do we make this unfolding disaster work now?

Robles
Stones Alcarez Distin
Coleman McCarthy Barkley Oviedo
Mirallas Lukaku Pienaar

^^^ as much likely to be a complete ****ing disaster as a workable formation.

*gives up*

 

[anyone]

I had a dream last night. Osman scored a hattrick.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

It certainly was snowing that day. Joe Royle got at least 3 goals, Jimmy Gabriel was playing for the Saints but probably wished he wasn't. Happy Days!

1-0 to us after a tough game.
