Great preview, nice old pics as usual.
One bit did seem to have a strong semen theme though, glad you managed to dig in and write through it.
Would take a draw, expecting at least one OG - traditions must be observed.
3-0 to them then. coyb

• 24 Howard
• 23 Coleman
• 05 Stones
• 06 Jagielka
• 32 Galloway (Oviedo)
• 16 McCarthy
• 11 Mirallas
• 20 Barkley
• 15 Cleverley
• 09 Kone
• 10 Lukaku

Basically the players who were on the pitch when we actually scored goals against Watford. Yes Kone is in then, but however crap he was in preseason, he has an assist and a goal, so deserves a start.

And that will lead to us being dominated in midfield.

If he goes with that based on the fact it got him out the [Poor language removed] at home against what are likely to be a relegation team, then it's just another nail which confirms his tactical stupidity!

Can't see beyond a home win really. Staggering that I have no nisi optimism 2nd game in!

 

[deipnosophist]

That pretty much sums up my last 2 trips down there except the area round St Mary's looks like post industrial Mad Max world or Middlesboro.

...you can say that again...and again ...

 

[TheAlmightyFloater]

3-1 Southampton I think.

That's a bit pessimistic, we might only concede 2.

Hopefully we have Oviedo starting to we don't have to see every attack break down through Galloway not going forward with the ball...

That's a tad unfair on galloway. He's not Baines. However most of the attacks on his side broke down because he had zero support, with no winger in front of him he was exposed and so yes attacks did break down but not always Galloways fault.

 

[deipnosophist]

2-0 to Southampton... that Pele bloke and and the rooster who scored a fast hat trick last season to score for them. But we will have a lot of possession around the half way line.
and my last prediction : there will be fume on GOT

 

[Groucho]

Everton to win.
