Match Thread Everton v Southampton 1/3/21 - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[BlueStevie35]

We owe them one for earlier in the season, they have a game in hand against Leeds tomorrow before they come here on Monday

Got to get the mentality right for this one. Another home loss would be unacceptable. Needs to be drilled into the players that they have to actually show up from the first minute and show desire and energy. I love Carlo, but if we see another dismal display then he will have to take some blame. The coaching staff have to find a way to get the players in the right frame of mind for these games.

This is the fixture that started the rot and ruined the great start to the season. This needs to be paid back, in spades.

I'd be very dissapointed if we meekly lost to Saints. Saints aren't a bad side and as this season has proved there are no guaranteed three points. But we do need to get the attitude and motivation right. No good being up for the 'big' games if we weakly capitulate elsewhere.

100% the right selection to a man for me.

Yup. We have to give them a good shellacking. Hopefully the RS result gives the team the belief to go out and dominate these sorts of games. This season is so finely balanced; if we put a few wins together then we’re right in there for top 4. Lose a couple and we’re looking at mid table.

Looks good to me as well.

 

[Ring master]

Think we will win this 2-1

 

[Jim Hopper]

Only concern I have with Saints is they are another team that will come here and press us most of the game like they did to us at home last season, however, we showed that when we played direct we could create chances.

This game will show us if we have learnt lessons from the likes of the Fulham and Newcastle games.

 

[KaiserEFC]

We beat Liverpool A so it’s only fair we beat Liverpool B.

One of the worst fanbases in world football this lot, they encapsulate most of what’s wrong with modern football.

 

[Bullens Rd]

Anything less than 3 points and the win at Anfield will have been a complete waste of time.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

I love Carlo and after the result at the weekend he's even more beloved, but if Allan has one good leg and Carlo even thinks of putting Gomes anywhere near the starting XI he should be chucked in Walton nick for life without chance of parole.

Same approach as the weekend - Go long, avoid their press and get as many as we can around DCL to pick up the second balls.

 

[johnjoeefc]

This has the makings of a very hard game considering our home record and our recent record against them. We need to approach it in the same way we have the bigger clubs and play counter

 

[Gilbert..]

Very weird feeling to have. Away games bring anyone on. Home games id be worried if its wycombe wanderers.
