Match Thread Everton v Southampton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[judge]

I'm not sure that home advantage counts for much these days, what with there being no crowd/atmosphere. I fear that Southampton are too good for us/are able to play a bit/pass the ball. Not sure how many of our players i can level that accusation at!

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

And we've only conceded two goals in our last four games, and you could argue there was a lot of luck involved in both.

Haven't we also only scored 2 goals in those same last four games. those looking for a high score from us here may be somewhat disappointed.

Three, actually; I agree though, I'm not expecting a goal feast.

 

[Johnny Barton]

Hearing from good source that the Hojberg deal gonna be discussed whilst Soton are here

 

[Jim Hopper]

Tough game this. Southampton playing very well and Ings always bags against us 2-2.

Draw written all over it when you think. I would shake the team right up get some energy in there.

Pickford

Sidibie
Keane
Mina
Digne

Richarlison
Gomes
Benni
Gordon

Kean
DCL

It might be just me, but after watching motd highlights last night, why does every other team look fitter and faster than our tortoises? Top six apart, Wolves, Sheffield Utd & Burnley all looked lively. Our players should be ashamed looking at the table with those 3 above us.

And have only scored 1 from open play, plus a dodgy pen.

Just keep Siggy out and for me Coleman not Sidibe.

Undeniably great though his ability to point his finger is, it's impossible to believe we don't have a central midfielder more worthy of a place tonight than that waste of skin Sigurdsson. He epitomizes the expression 'stealing a living' and all that's been wrong with the club. He should've been banned from FF the instant the (non) derby before last ended .

 

[Azza]

Højbjerg refusing to play against his new club tonight!

I honestly wished he would play to show how much better he is than our entire midfield

Not used to this Amazon at all, I've set it up for my free trial on my phone and ps4 but I'm not seeing our game or live football anywhere yet.

Really hoping for a better performance than monday night! Painful to watch at times. I do feel lost of our midfield isnt at the standard needed. But with injuries and the options available, there's not much we can do! Dont think I would go with a front 2 tonight, dont think it's been working for us and feel richarlson needs to be on the ball out wide to be dangerous.
