1-1 going into the 90th minute. Shane Long's opener gets cancelled out by Seamus Coleman bouncing a hard drive off Lukaku into the net. Barkley breaks down in tears after a particularly vicious tirade from a 12 year old as he took a throw-in. Some in the stadium are fed up with what they see and start leaving their seats to beat the rush.

One last attack.

Gueye makes a routine pass to Lukaku's feet just outside the box. Lukaku frantically tries to control it, his body and legs flailing as the ball loops over his head and the he falls gracelessly into some pots and pans. That seems to be it. Virgil Van Dijk has it now after somehow circumnavigating his suspension. Barkley is in tears, and Lukaku has small cartoon birds flying around his head. All he has to do is maintain possession.

But wait.

VVD turns around and a large gasp can be heard as he smashes the ball into the roof of his own net. Scenes as he rips off his Southampton jersey to reveal an Everton kit underneath, and he ends up tearfully embracing the GSE, clearly not aware that they will turn on him 2 months later. Tyler shouts "mah gawd, mah gawd!!!!" as Koeman leaves the field to the tune of "No Chance in Hell"

Fin.
Two questions. Who put pots and pans on the pitch - someone could get hurt - and what's the GSE? I hate acronyms.
 

Presume we won't see barry today. Can't start 2 games in 3 days surely. So I'd expect Davies to start as ain't any other real options anyway. Could possibly go 3 at the back too.
But they are in worse form then we are. Need us to play with the intensity of arsenal and first half v the rs. Here's hoping

Two home defeats in a row - perhaps the strain of so many games is beginning to tell on Southampton. Or perhaps they've had too much Christmas pud.

Anyway, they have two semi-final games against Liverpool coming up soon. So it's a great opportunity for us today!
 

Be buzzing to see Davies start today, lad deserves it. It'll give Goodison huge lift too.

Cue Cleverley starting with Davies not even on the bench.
