Match Thread Southampton v Everton. 15th Aug at 12.45.

[Kendall's Dream]

A win gives us confidence going into City. Which we really really need

 

[Hellerad]

Gonna have to have width and keep pressure on S'hampton's fullbacks. Not sure how we'll do that, but I will probably involve Lukaku and/or Kone drifting wide.

I'll say again.

I have a feeling Kone will score again suddenly transforming him into our new weapon.

Like a new signing

hard game 0-2

 

[ijjysmith]

I feel like we have literally no chance tomorrow.

Boss feeling like this.

He's definitely a weapon but he won't score

Problem is...we'll go there wanting to play our game which they'll pick off.

We go there wanting to upset em...we'll get a draw.

I'm not sure exactly how Southampton line up. They have sold Schneiderlin (Man Utd) and Clyne (Liverpool) and Alderweireld has gone to Spurs. But they have added to their squad for the Europa League; Stekelenburg (Fulham) and Romeu (Chelsea) can play; Clasie (Feyenoord) and Caulker (QPR) are out. Rodriguez has come back from long-term injury.

Southampton still have a respectable squad - I think we'll settle for a draw.

 

[daz4matty]

If we play the usual tactics an easy win for them if we mix it up a bit i can see a draw

 

[chicoazul]

That would be the general consensus I'd imagine and I agree. I would love to do an experiment and let Everton be managed by this forum on a general consensus, team, tactics etc.

Not sure. I pointed out how scruffy he was and he blocked me in the end.

 

[EFC Si]

Oh the despair

 

[bluestevon]

FIRST! if I'm not then must mean i have everyone else on ignore ahead of me so still counts!

 

[AussieToffee]

I'll bet you a Like and some reputation

 

[Chang Elephant]

I'll bet you a Like and some reputation

Just hope you won't be betting money on it

 

[Huyton Layne]

Vom green kit. That's just pushed me over the edge and I'm having a lie in tomorrow.
Still hope we grab something.
