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

[Lacey]

Thing is. We can win, we have the talent, we've proved that, do we have the Charachter, determination it grit? I'm not so sure, usually back us to win and we mess up, so I'll go 1-1.

COYB

P.S. please rest Barkley

We have incredible character

The team should do what they did in that Europa League match last season after 20 mins of passing , which led to mass booing from the crowd . Ignore Bobby's philosophy and just play football .

8-0 to the blues if that happens ....Phenomenal

 

[Carlito]

If he's going full strength for the derby, then he's going to have to put out a shadow side tomorrow.

He may as well do it the other way round, though. They're not winning at Anfield regardless of who plays, and going into a semi without a win since the quarters would be diabolical.

Sitting in work and just thought "can't wait for the match tomorrow!" I know, bad tit me aren't I

One of my daughter is in a show tomorrow so the missus asked me whether I'd like to attend the daytime or the evening show.

Obviously, she expected me to say the evening show as usual however I surprisingly declared, "I'll come in the day". Why she said?

Because I've become pretty apathetic to Everton playing poorly, and the prospects for tomorrow don't look good so I thought I'd save myself.

Unfortunately however, after many offers of a free ticket, nobody is interested in going so I'll just end up going instead. It's a sad state of affairs!

Yeah it's terrible. I go with my little lad and really don't want him hearing blues so venomous.

Got a barbecue tomorrow for my son's birthday. I'll probably check out the score each time I come up to the flat for more beer/a piss etc.

Actually, thinking about it, it'll probably be over by 4 o'clock*.


*I live in Spain and we're an hour ahead of you.

Youre probably right mate,what time does the barbecue finish ?

 

[DANNOJ]

If we assume that everyone who is a doubt. Is in fact injured. This is how I'd like us to set up.

__________Joel__________
Coleman_Stones_Funes_Baines
_______Barry__Besic_______
Deloufeu___________Mirallas
_______Niasse___Kone___

However we all know that won't happen. I hope we have Dowell in behind Kone.

 

[Neiziro]

Joel

Coleman -- Stones -- RFM -- Galloway

Barry

Dowell, Besic

Mirallas, Niasse, Lennon

 

[LydiateLee]

What an ill thought out insult to one of our most reliable and talented players over the last 10 years. Not good mate.

10 years? He's been finished since 2009!!

Put a young lad in. Get the crowd up for it.

I think I speak for a lot of Blues in that I just feel helpless at the moment. The team and manager are seemingly spiraling into oblivion. Martinez has lost the dressing room and the fans. All ahead of our biggest week in years. What timing.

So what can we do? Support the boys in blue. Like we always do.
But that's not enough. We've been let down time after time this year. Last minute equaliser after last minute equaliser.

Koeman can smell blood. Of course he can.

So what can anyone do? Here's what we do.

Bobby's as good as gone but he'll win the respect of the fanbase if he throws a young lad in tomorrow. We all know the talent is there. Whoever it might be. Get Southampton scrambling to find out about the kid in the hour before kick off.

Rooney against Spurs, Vaughan against Palace, Ross against QPR. All at the Old Lady.

It gets the Gwladys up for it. Everyone instantly behind the team. Get a tackle in early doors too. It's not the end of the world if we don't win. Performance everything given what's ahead of us. Leave the pitch with the fans singing you onto Wembley.

Wow, its my sons birthday tomorrow, if it wasnt I would prolly swerve going, really cba.

 

[Muggins]

No Jagielka, Lukaku, Barkley, Baines, Lennon or McCarthy.

nailed on 3-0 win lads.

 

[Abertonian]

Would rest Ross and Rom, have pienaar playing off niasse/kone.

 

[Deleted member 24970]

With a massive week coming up id say rest anybody/everybody with knocks. We still have Delboy or Mirallas for the wings, Oviedo for LB, besic for McCarthy and stones-mori for centre half, even try Galloway in there ?
