Match Thread Everton v Southampton, 16th April 2016 KO 15:00

[B17BLG]

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman says his side will look to exploit the negativity at Goodison Park when they meet Everton on Saturday.(Southern Daily Echo)

Well, the bunch of sniding meffs!

 

[Still]

Clev and Jags out. McCarthy suspended. Lukaku didn't train, Barkley, Baines and Lennon to be assessed.

Good! Barkley needs a rest, in fact out of that lot the only one I'd play is Lukaku, having put a rocket up his arse for his recent performances.

Mix it up with 442, make a change from everyone knowing exactly what we're going to do.

Quite like that team.

Think if I just keep saying 3-1, it will happen sometime.

I've tried that with 8-0 Everton since I joined this forum in 2009 mate.

Would rather see Oviedo at left back.

The manager did hint towards this in the presser. Maybe Dowell could get a game? Or bench at least?

I don't think we have them registered as players mate.

oh.. did not know that. Forget it then :\

Why, out of interest? I think Galloway has been a bit hard done by after being thrown in at the deep end in the autumn. Deserves better.

Agreed. Still.

duffus just won u21 player of the month, stick him up front if lukakus injured..at least he will be excited and run round like crazy

 

[Mistertonblue]

The injuries and suspensions could be beneficial in the sense that it'll give others a chance to play so I'd go with this team.

Barry won't be able to play 5 games in a row particularly the intensity of a derby and semi final. Lukaku needs resting too and would rather we preserve some players for the Derby where at the moment we risk a tonking.
