Match Thread Everton V Southampton 3pm Monday 2nd January

[Blues Harp]

Come on people...far too much optimism ATM. OK...whine, whinge, hoof ball, Dutch Moyes, where's the money Moshiri ?? lollol

 

[Blue Cheese]

Keyser Soze

That term gets banded about a lot on a lot of different subjects, just wondered who they were.

 

[Simon baker]

How about playing youth players in the correct position?

We're do you think Calvert Lewin has been playing for the u23s when niasse plays

 

[boris]

We're do you think Calvert Lewin has been playing for the u23s when niasse plays

He's been playing up front, with Niasse off him.

 

[BigBlueConk]

I think we look good for at least nil goals, maybe more.
Wonder if we will turn up for the first half.

COYB!

 

[tommye]

Every time Koeman has put a batshit side out, we've won. I'll happily reserve judgement

Language young man!

 

[longers]

happy to see Davies start, pretty bemused over Calvert Lewin starting though

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

it'll be a bit of both imo mate

he's got pace and energy, so will probably be instructed to get central when we have the ball, but drop wide when we don't

Probably right Toff, just don't see the sense sometimes when you have 2 natural wide players in Mirallas and Lennon.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Yoof ball

 

[Eggs]

...particularly glad to see young Davies getting a start, hoping it gives everybody a lift. Beyond that, I'm not overly bothered who plays, it's much of a muchness.

 

[Joey66]

I hope we put our first 90 minute winning performance in irrespective if we use the bench as that team on paper has energy at least most positive team RK has picked so far imo - Del must be going on loan - must have had words as a educated guess!

 

[strummer]

He's quite ruthless with his selections. Don't think we'll be seeing too much of Cleverly in the future and Jagielka is no longer 1st choice. With our lack of quality on the wings I'd like to see us try a 352 formation with Holgate at the back

 

[TyphooToffee]

Well RK has freshened things up and given youth a chance - just wait for the "usual suspects" to get the knives out if the gamble doesn't pay off.

Chuffed to see Davies and DCL given a chance to start. Looks like it's game over for Del though

Will be interesting to see how Ross plays with Tom on from the start. He definitely seemed to up his game after Tom came on at Hull.

 

[Tel001]

Which ones are out of position then, given they haven't set foot on the pitch yet?

ok... then he's playing ross on the wing is he? Another great choice ..

 

[Eggs]

He's been playing up front, with Niasse off him.

...just like Lineker, Andy Gray and Heath played off Graeme Sharp. The lad reminds me lots of Sharp, I'd be chuffed if he's anywhere near as good.
