2. I agree. I feel if we end up on the top five it would be a good finish. Would I like seeing us winning the League? No doubt! But I'm ready for whatever the season brings whether is a smooth ride, or a roller coaster bumpy ride. Lo que será, será

Yep I wonder if he wasn't 100%... and if its a hamstring - i wonder if its better if they rested him for the Newcastle match or just start him on the bench so he only plays 30 minutes. Id rather he miss one game, then potentially miss 3 or 4 games... these muscular injuries can derail a season with the rest of the body overcompensating in other areas.
But to the game specifically - James wasn't tracking back and there was no cover for Godfrey defensively, left a huge gap there all day. Doucoure should have been the one covering for James tactically.
It was also one of those games where Everton were horrible in possession and couldn't get it to James without the play breaking down around Iwobi/Siggy/Allan or Godfrey giving it up a lot. Even still James lost it a few times as well so the whole team was bad all around. He was super tidy and efficient the first couple of weeks. I guess the opposition are scouting him harder. Southampton didn't have any world class quality but they stuck to the game plan and were really clinical - that wins plenty of games in this league.

I noticed that too, hames has hit some wow set corners from that side but didn’t take any today and Siggys weren’t particularly good.

He looked off the pace yesterday, didn’t look like he should have been playing. I know a lot of people will say it was mind games with Ancelotti over the injury situation but if it’s true he didn’t train until Friday you could clearly see that yesterday. Ancelotti also said his hamstring felt tight, if he’s not 100% against Newcastle I wouldn’t risk him, need him for the big game against Man Utd.

He shouldn't have been playing if not fit.
.....tight hamstring from the look of things. Could be missing next week.
No way he should be playing next week.
He’s gone from not playing much to playing every week in the most intense league. If we have any hope of top 6 we have to be able to beat teams like Newcastle without him. He won’t and shouldn’t play every game.

He should never have played yesterday and we will regret it.
The other big problem is still our injury record. It can't just be bad luck and we must be doing something wrong.

Both valid points. The defensive and offensive side suffered.
Shows the importance of a proper right back and probably how we don’t appreciate Coleman enough.

Man United is a 6 pointer, Newcastle isn't, that's the crux of it, we need him fit a lot more for the man utd game than Newcastle imo.

Both games are equally as important but the Newcastle game is "more winnable" so id just go full strength and get Newcastle out the way first before we start to worry about United.
