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

Has Gylfi been Captain before? The responsibility might just raise his game.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

I’d love us to get a proper commanding win by 3 or 4 to really show the league we mean business!
Obviously I’d take a scrappy 1-0 win off a dodgy VAR decision too to continue the media narrative of horrible Ev

Yes, for large parts of last season

Of course, my wife is telling me that it is time to go to church. 10 am mass and the game starts at 10 am where I am. I was trying to fake a cold and some fatigue, but she just saw me writing in the Everton forum and simply said, "I'm waiting in the car." Argh!!! I'll pray for the Toffees...enjoy the game. I'm hoping I can catch at least part of the second half. ¡VAMOS EVERTON!

Obviously, it wouldn't be right for anyone to interfere with your religious beliefs, mate, although worshipping the Devil does tend to have more football-friendly midnight ceremonies, but maybe you need to consider changing countries. Best wishes, anyway.

He's been captain loads. Technically he's club vice captain.

Yeah I’m pretty sure he was whenever Coleman or Baines weren’t playing LY

GO GO GO NURSES TOFFEES TEAM..GO GO GO :celebrar:

The media spotlight will just be on Pickford all game, fully agree with Rooney it's his temperament and the mental side of things that's his biggest problem. If he's on edge normally, imagine today.

I hope they've had a sports psychologist working with him because it looks like a character flaw and not something easily changed. The sh*te employ Steve Peters who's top in that field and worked with many sports stars. If we're going to be playing him someone has to change his mental side..

He’s vice captain to Coleman. Wore it nearly every other game last season to much bewilderment.

Sounds like you need a divorce, while she's waiting in the car just lock the doors of the house.

I see VAR getting revenge after last week, 1-3 penalty to the saints.

For what?

 

[RomanReigns]

Would have preferred Gordon or Bernard to start ahead of iwobi but it is what it is

let’s see how he performs in the first 45

Probably nothing but

Via Big Phil

Keeping an eye on Digne
Just worth keeping an eye on Lucas Digne.

In a passing exercise, Ben Godfrey went to close him down, but lost his footing and clattered into the full-back.

They both ended up in a heap on the floor. Digne got up but was in some discomfort with his left leg.

Hopefully he can run it off. Looks to be moving OK at the moment

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Digne injured in warm up?
