I so much hope this happens.

Just had a look at your Saints Web, mate. Seem to be just as insecure as our lot! lol

For me, could go either way now. We have some confidence and our second tier players look better under Ancelotti than they've done before. Your lot seem to have a bit of resilience too. Would have banked on a win with James and Richarlison, now, not so much.
 
While I'm happy you've got two of your better players not playing against us, we do seem to be quite accommodating to teams who are not at full strength!
I'll just have to hope that changes this weekend I suppose.
Don't really know what to make of Everton this season as I've not seen much of them (or football in general) yet.
Did they under achieve last season, were should be or just having a purple patch.
I wouldn't waste a quid betting on any results this season, they seem to be all over the place!

How are Southampton on set pieces?
 
Kudos mate. I was hoping for a media blackout lol

Hope it doesn’t get side tracked with comments about you know who.... won’t hold my breath.
How has he coped, what has he been like in Training etc etc no doubt little touch of stuff like that-hopefully it does not turn into a Pickford press conference
 
Pickford
Kenny (or Godfrey) Mina Keane Digne
Doucoure Allan Gomes
Siggy DCL Iwobi

Bench
Olsen
Kenny/Godfrey
Bernard
Davies
Delph
Nkoukou
Gordon

Should be a fun game!

2-0 Everton - Mina, DCL

I think the team will be a little bit more disciplined and conservative without James, so that could help with the defence.
 
I really don't understand why, when we've lacked a midfield for so long, we'd change a combination that has us top of the league.

Does that not seem a bit mad?

Not if you've actually watched us. Gomes hasn't been great and arguably, for this game, we could do with a player who's a bit more of a threat going forward in the absence of Richarlison and James.

I would be surprised if Gomes doesn't keep his place though.
 
Is Djenepo not playing? That’s somewhat of a relief, he’s a tricky one he is. We’ll still need to pull out a big performance to win this, gritty will do!
