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

[davek]

The last time we played these we beat them back at the beginning of October and secured back-to-back wins, and the situation was very promising:

Played 8 W2 L2 D4 joint 9th in the table.

That was the turning point though. The next 10 games after that:

Played 10 W1 L7 D2 18th in the table.

Maybe we'll see a similar pivotal game tomorrow with a win. ?

God I hope so, this is doing nothing to help my dicky ticker.

No.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Could really do with a player who’s just had a medical sneaking not so sneakily into the directors box just before kick off to ensure the atmosphere stays positive with a ripple of applause. Money’s on Elanga, or Ashley Barnes.

 

[April1970]

2-1 win.

 

[davek]

No.

It was promising. Draws at Leeds and Brentford and a derby day draw we could have won. Then back-to-back wins against WHU and S'ton.

We were on a roll.

If we got a win tomorrow and then a forward in over the next week suddenly things would look differently. Not rosy, but certainly less bleak.

Lose and we go into free-fall.

I'm feeling a little bit flat about this to be honest. This last week has really drained any remaining optimism I had for the remainder of the season.

If we don't win, I don't see any way we stay up this season. Cannot believe it's mid-Jan and we have a legitimate must-win game.

 

[Moderatelywarmwater]

We win this 2-0, they are terrible

DCL is going to win us three priceless points tomorrow

 

[Gilbert..]

I remember when we used to batter southampton on a regular basis at Goodison. Guarenteed points. Just how many we would beat them by.

Mate im going back to the days we beat them 4 and 5 nil all the time at goodison. I remember when they had the likes of andy townsend. Ruddock. Paul riedout....we had them beat by half time.
They used to be along with west ham a guarenteed points banker at Goodison.
