Match Thread Everton V Southampton 3pm Monday 2nd January

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

To be fair we beat Leicester without Fuchs, Huth, Mahrez and Vardy all we need to do is best Southampton without Van Dijk, Redmond and Austin. It's not often we get lucky with these kind of things, it normally feels like we play teams just as they get into top form (like Chelsea) so we have to take advantage of this one too.

Fonte in for Van Dijk mate, Redmond is available to play after his ban, Bertrand back after being rested against West Brom.

Is Davies the love child of Jeremy Corbyn?

[Derek Acorah]

We have to be beating these, they are extremely poor.

Saying that, we can't beat Swansea or Hull - the two worst teams in the league.

We will draw 1-1. A late equaliser from Rom.

You're allowed to play 11 players mate. We struggle enough as it is without resorting to 10 men.

Whoops! Re-jigged it.

I think we play most of the 90 minutes with 10 men, as I'm sure Lukaku comes and goes from the pitch when he feels like it, as he seems invisible most of the time.

Shouldn't that read 'we're'

From what I've heard that is the team except Lennon rather than Mirallas

Thought mirallas was ok the other night but lennon also offers pace

 

[Buckers]

I might kick off quietly at home if holgate and Davies don't start.

It's their third game in six days. If we cant get three points here with an extra couple of days preparation over the Christmas period there is something badly wrong.
