Match Thread Everton v Southampton - Tuesday 17th September - 19:45

[TyphooToffee]

Hopefully playing Keane because he won't be playing at the weekend

 

[Davideeyore]

McNeil left back?

No he's playing.

 

[Ivo]

Doucs captain....?

 

[blue to the bone]

Interesting to hear why so many are out.
Otherwise it's a joke. Possibly our last cup game at Goodison and this is what we line out with .

 

[CielosGrises]

Hmmm, strange midfield.

 

[DanEFC92]

Wild selection.

Can anyone fill me in on what those youth players are like?

 

[Dharma]

I'm sure that team was selected by drawing lots. Has to be.

 

[bluestevon]

….surprised by the line-up but it’ll be particularly interesting to see Mangala and Armstrong.

And Lindstrom

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Where did everyone go? Protest?

Illness and injury.

Be very interesting this, across the midfield we have four players who all like to go forward in the ball.

 

[D410]

The manager has given up on the game and threw a side out that will get beat whilst giving him the chance to say I told you so.

 

[Marius57]

That looks such an awfullly balanced team. And it’s a baptism of fire for OBrien having no LB or senior RB and alongside Keane.

 

[maccavennie]

Illness and injury.

Yeah he's just said 3 are ill and others are injured.

 

[Mikey O]

the difference at this stage between this season and last season is 1 point and even with a points deduction last season we survived very easily

You're right about the difference in season points tally and I think I would have said something similar last season about priorities.

Last seasons promoted teams were pretty dire - are this season's just as bad - probably not.

Anyway, whoever wears the shirt tonight I hope we score a hat-full and get into the next round.

Dixon - very good, they call him the Crosby Cafu
