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

[Jeff Jones]

This is the start of what could be the worst week in football ever.

Saints - Makes or breaks my work week next week
Liverpool - Obviously going to get utterly done
Semi Final - Well...

So i'm trying to be positive for at least today!

Don't forget, a week's a long time in football. Up one minute, down the next. Peacocks and feather dusters.

 

[D410]

I would like to see Osman, Howard, Steven P, Kone and Niasse to start.
Then I am going to watch Paul Merson fall of his seat laughing.

We obviously measure our minutes on Venus then...

 

[Jeff Jones]

We obviously measure our minutes on Venus then...

Think Everton 2 Chelsea 0, Tottenham 3 Man Utd 0, Southampton 3 Liverpool 2.

Al very recent and who knows what's going to happen next?

 

[daza_1973]

Can't remember a time I've felt so unenthusiastic about a game we're involved in....and I remember the 90's. Sad indictment of our current setup. I'm going for a draw at best at a potentially toxic goodison whilst trying not to think about Wednesday.

 

[ijjysmith]

Will Everton ever make me this happy again?

God that green kit is boss too.

 

[edge]

We need a win 2-0, cant just go into a semi and expect to turn sround weeks of dross , pick the fans up and then grind a draw out at the pit

 

[Raino85]

I would go

Robles
Oviedo
Stones
Funes Mori
Galloway
Besic
Williams
Deulofeu
Mirallas
Dowell
Naisse

He will go

Robles
Coleman

Funes Mori
Oviedo
Besic
Cleverley
Deulofeu
Mirallas
Pienaar
Kone

Agreed but the theatre luvie it appears has decided to condemn us to a week in hell followed by brown shoes telling us how satisfying it was to get beat.

Starting Williams and dowell would be foolish.


Cleverly is out as well

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

If there are doubts over players, I'd like to see them rested with the massive double header coming up, and the likes of Dowell given a chance.

Would like to see the lad Brewster too but it's my understanding that he's a way behind some of the more regular u21 lads. His game looks a bit like that of a younger Lukaku, raw pace and power and a good finisher.

I live miles away . Blackpool DOES have its uses

....I know, I work up there lots.

God that's depressing. Look how happy they all are! Look at how good the crowd were! I remember walking out of the ground that day so buzzing and now the last drops of blood are coming out of my wrists!
