Everton v Southampton. 29th Dec @ 13.30.

Oviedo might be a better goal scorer than Pinnear and would have had one if Lukaku could have gotten the ball to him. Pinnear not starting is fine, he's getting up there in age.

Winning against a quality team with a bunch of subs. Doing fine.

Yes you are right mate we are doing ok but please let us get another goal.

Gutted we haven't got the impact of Del boy from the bench for a while, Think he'd thrive in games like this.

Think Oviedo will make way for Pienaar in the second half, he's not the same player further up the field, More effective at LB

More like take Baines off as he is not match fit and put Oviedo back at left back with SP on the left!

 

[DownunderToffee]

Oviedo doesn't have the on-ball skill to control the LM like Peanuts does.

Naismith once again with the heart and passion but not much technical ability.

Lukaku is just a shadow of his in-form self, not sure how he'll go at Chelski.

i feel sorry for lukaku sometimes

 

[toffeeben15]

Think we should play Naismith in behind lukaku seems to be good at getting nice touches and positions in good areas

 

[Joey66]

What is it with BBC live text and it being bellend central? Too many fans there trying to sell other team's players and it always seems to be Arsenal fans doing it as well

Because Arsen Whinger was showing interest in Coleman a while a ago!

 

[TomDixie]

Considering we have these players out: Howard, Jagielka, Gibson, Barry, Deulofeu, Kone

and these on the bench: Pienaar, Mirallas

we're doing alright..

 

[kenada_blue]

Naismith needs hooking. Get Mirallas on and take the game to this lot.

They'll score so we need at least another one.

Alacarez looks like Beckenbauer out there.

Wasnt sold on him at Wigan...but distribution wise and calmness in the back 4...he's better than Distin and Jags combined.

Defending...not so much.

 

[Zorse]

BBC live text...

4th as it stands.

Big half coming up.

Time for Boberto to go for broke and throw Mirallas on for Naismith and Pienaar on for Osman.

Who are the commentators ???
Managed to get a gerrard set piece fapp fest into a game he isn't even taking part in and insult the best LB in the world

Lukaku has not scored lately. If he scores 20 in a season then he will go back to Chelsea if not...

 

[CaptainBlood]

How much would Coleman go for (not that I wanna sell) just thinking maybe eventual proffit?

he is right though. gerrards set pieces are the best in the league.

Yeah, depends on how good the other CB is at that I suppose. Distin has better pace and covers well.
