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

This 100%! Don’t quite get the shouts for JJK to come straight back in if Seamus misses out. Thought Godfrey was excellent on Saturday when he came on and did more than enough to keep his place if Seamus isn’t fit!

Yep, Godfrey is probably a better right back than Kenny and he’s not even a right back haha

So our issue now is with no Richarlison we have no pace to counter attack.

Iwobi won’t run in behind and James doesn’t for a reason.

Iwobi has to be less selfish and make those runs on Sunday

Needs booting to the bench for young Anthony.

We're going to be doing a whole lot of winning against this mob.

So much winning.

We’ll be fine mate. Literally all our goals against Brighton in the 2nd half came about from counter attacking without Richarlison.

He offers something different and can single handedly win games but as long the likes of Rodríguez, Digne and Doucoure are on the pitch we always have a chance.

I’ve probably being playing a bit too much Pro-Evo. Although I’m wondering if there’s some merit in the arl festive formation.

No way both Sigurdsson and Gomes start. It’s either one or the other.

I would also bring Anthony straight in as a replacement; pace, power skill.

They love a high line with slow defenders. Get balls over the top to DCL

As much as DCL has improved I don't think he is good enough yet in one on one situations
Most of his goals have been headers or one touch finishes
Balls over the top may not yet be our best bet

that’s why for me Gordon should play

I get that.
Tbh I imagined Siggurdson playing much higher. In that forward position he likes, the one free of responsibity.

He has gotten 2 of those, both from Keane. 1 his best goal this season and 1 weak shot from outside.

In both of those occasions, he showed his speed and; most importantly, the ability to bring the ball down.

I think he can indeed be a weapon in these type of plays. Would help if he could improve his long range shot a bit though

Think he's starting to improve but yeh most one on one's are pretty tame efforts.

The week break should benefit a number of players, namely the South American contingent.
