Match Thread EVERTON V SOUTHAMPTON Match thread, Report and MotM Poll

[Lob]

Resting Pickford is an absolutely ridiculous decision imo. Stek is nowhere near good enough. We have 1 more game next Saturday and then 15 days off for international break and our goalie needs a rest. Laughable and could end up costing us once again.

Rest of the team i am fine with. lol

Oh boy. Marco's taken a chance here. Strong saints side.

 

[efcjames]

Ings playing means there is absolutely 0 chance of a clean sheet.

 

[ToffeeTim]

It's not though, is it.

Dowell a surprise. That's it.

Only disappointment is Stek in for Pickford. Two of the changes - Bernard and Tosun - make us stronger than we were on Saturday, if anything.

Zouma, Keane staying together. Baines is more than an adequate back up.

I'm disappointed because the Southampton players will look at that 11 and really fancy it. We lose playing weakened teams in this competition all to often. What are we resting for? The 8th place race??

 

[Nymzee]

If we can't score past Yoshida, Bednarek and Stephens then we deserve to go crashing out.

 

[Albro]

I really like this team. Schneiderlin without Gueye (after his been dropped), Dowell, a chance for Lookman, a start for Bernard and rests for Digne and Sigurdsson. Not much to complain from me. Plenty of fire from the bench as well with Niasse, Richarlison and Walcott.

Sub goalkeeper appearances, especially when they're not a youngster who needs to be kept happy, absolutely boil my piss

 

[Zezti]

..Silva has been quoted as saying he won’t be making many changes.

I was close

My prediction is that 3 behind Tosun will be pushed off the ball and create zero.

Will they?

What, their five at the back are going to be relishing playing against Bernard, Lookman and Tosun?

Pathetic from Silva to not play Pickford, is he serious about the job or what

 

[Ron Burgundy]

I'm happy with that team.

 

[Nymzee]

Nice to see the fans sharpening the blades before we've even kicked off.

What a fanbase we've got.

 

[Brisan123]

We’re getting beat here lads
Morgan Davies and Dowell
Even A championship side would fancy playing against that midfield

The press conference will be interesting after the game one way or another
