The mindset should be to win every match but these are the ones where good seasons are made. Teams you are better than at home need to be 3 pointers
Definitely, but being Everton the task is made more difficult. Should be routine but lately it hasn't always been.
 
No digne in the squad??

Good point mate. There's so much strength in depth now!

Maybe we could actually start Digne as well but Baines did do well and considering Richarlison's performance maybe we don't rock the boat on the left side yet? Good decisions to have to make.

I can see us beating quite a few teams by a few goals this season once we shore up our defence. Might be too soon next Saturday but if we could get one of our new CB's in it would make a big difference. We are going to get stronger as the season goes on with all of the new talent that is going to become available.
 
Southampton were woeful today.

I wouldn't be changing too much to be honest. Who will be fitter, Holgate, Mina or Zouma? they can start for me.

Do we need Schneiderlin AND Gana at home? I don't think so.

I'd be going

Pickford

Baines
Keane
Holgate
Coleman

Gana

Walcott
Sigurdsson
Richarlison

Niasse
Tosun


Mina, Bernard, Zouma, Gomes have barely had a pre-season. If they're fit enough in his eyes, i'd play them.

But there's no rush, and based on how we played at the weekend, I'd be confident with that team to be honest.
 

Thought I read somewhere that Silva has said that the deadline day signings will be doing a pre-season themselves to get them up to fitness so I doubt any of them will start in the next couple of weeks. Might be the the first league cup game until they start. Zouma might be closer though as he probably did a full preseason with Chelsea.
 
At what point are the new signings actually going to get games considering they haven’t had a pre-season? Are we going to have to wait til next pre-season?
 
He has been training with a team in South America somewhere before he reported back at Barca...I am sure that he is not that far off especially having played the World Cup
He may have been training but he will need time to get up to speed , so dont think he will start the Southampton game.
I'm sure i read Silva will have a pre season program for the new (late) players.
 
If Holgate doesnt start for Jags it will be Zouma ahead of Mina.Prem experience plus better fitness id imagine
