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

Godfrey in for Coleman. Iwobi in for James. Gordon in for Richy and Sigurdsson in for Gomes.

Play the same system.

Massive blow having James out and Richy. Big test. If we want top 4 we have to dig in and get a result

Yep, these are the game where it should all be about grinding out a win.

On paper that makes me sigh.

James is injured.

Iwobi on the right Bernard on the left then. Likely.

Yes please.

Godfrey did well enough to keep his place for me.

Iwobi is a certainty to play and the other spot between Gordon and Bernard.

leave Gylfi on bench.

certainly regretting not replacing Kean now.

Godfrey has everything in locker to be a great right back.

defensive minded as a CB, MASSIVE pace, i would be surprised if he moves there in later career

The other players have to step out. We need to believe.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Is anyone else more concerned about the players no getting any sleep due to the Rodríguez news? Think the game should be postponed for another week until we have all finished mourning and justice has been served.

 

[joebocop]

On paper that makes me sigh.

It's all we have. I think we still have enough to get a result, but it's gonna be a battle. Need Allan, Doucoure and Digne to make a statement that they can do it without Richy and James. I have faith.

Iwobi in particular will need to play above his average too.

Also if we can still create for DCL, we should be confident there are still goals in this team.

We cannot concede more than once so need to shore up the defence. If we need 3 to win, then I don't think that's realistic.

Playing Jordan Pickford and only conceding once is probably not realistic either. It isn't the best of circumstances.

Hard to expect a result on Sunday now without the main man and Richy.

Hoping we have one of those snatch it wins and then return to normal service. Always going to happen at some point, just glad we have got a solid start under our belt.

I don't see the regret yet. We could see Simms on the bench this weekend, that would have been Kean's position in the squad even with these injuries.

An injury to DCL, and then I'd be worried

 

[Saint Domingo]

Anybody fancy our Icelandic warrior to play the James drifting right-winger role?

His right foot is had enough and that’s his good one, dread to think what he’d do on his left cutting in.
