Match Thread Southampton v Everton (Sunday 25 October 14:00)

[GwladysBlue]

Games against Southampton always feel unpredictable to me but I’ll predict it won’t be a draw.

tough game

Yeah, they always seem to throw a spanner in the works for us.

That 2-0 defeat when we were pursuing Champions League football was one of the worst. Two OGs.

 

[Tigger]

A fine example of how people can see two very different things or repeat negative/positive opinion and stereotypes as fact rather than base their views on genuine unbiased factual observation. I'm off checking the DCL thread to see who's judgement I trust more....

Not a genuine criticism btw - I'm sure I'm as guilty of it as anyone (Pickford & Davies will come good ) and pundits do it all the time.

Who we saying is talking poop mate?

 

[Hendi]

Doucs? defo a DM

No he's not a DM in entirety, at all. You need to do a little more research. He can cover an array of positions.

 

[mccole]

Having seen Chelsea chuck away a win last week and the loss of Richarlison plus added media pressure over every single tackle we make, it will be a tough game but we are more than capable of finding enough to win.

Kenny is likely to play so we should see a more natural position filled although Godfrey was excellent debuting against Them.

Gomes has huge question marks over his starting position so Sigurdsson could be used for like for like or Davies to provide more pace in the middle.

Left wing will see Iwobi hopefully get his first start of the season with Gordon added to the bench alongside Bernard so still plenty of options.

Pickford
Kenny - Mina - Keane - Digne
Doucoure - Allan - Gomes
James - DCL - Iwobi

I fail to understand why Mike Dean officiates Liverpool games. Has he done any Everton games besides the Derby last year.? He's a local ref and should'nt officiate either teams. I thought that was the rule.

bloody hell, not Kevin friend again

 

[gonetomorrow]

Kevin Friend did us a favour a few weeks ago. I can't remember what it was now but I definitely had a warm feeling towards him - no offence.

Was he in charge of the West Brom game?

On friendly terms, a friend, if you will.

No it was Palace away when he gave us a pen for a dubious handball!

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Actually think this will be a good game, close for me, 2-1 to us.

Yep, despite the running Joke on here, he has not actually been the ref of many Everton games at all, before that palace game, it was chelsea away in march
Arsenal at home before xmas, as well as the arsenal Jagielka game in april 2019, and away to cardiff Feb last year
