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

[MACCA75]

Southampton are the type of team that can pop the ball around quickly - they have made our team look like statues a few times in recent seasons and I’m expecting that again.

 

[Bebeto]

So who's available for the game or not available....

 

[LocalNative]

Can't believe season kicks off tomorrow and I ain't the slightest bit excited for it.

 

[GlosBlue]

Why has he named James Rodriguez but not the others? Seems strange. Just don't name any. Leave Southampton guessing.

I'm starting to get excited now. Probably only last 90 minutes but sure

 

[ArtetaMagic]

Would be great for the players to get a win, scoring a goal with 40k people cheering compared to last season. COYB

 

[Bebeto]

So who are the 5 in "isolation"...james, gomes, kean, allan who else...jpg was present in the team training videos...

 

[Mashtray]

In retrospect Keans "back soon" Instagram post could mean isolation but still weird he deleted virtually everything

 

[mahermi1]

How many players need to be unavailable because of Covid for a game to be postponed ?
the footballing gods just hate us don't they. Never has a new season held such disinterest, meh.

 

[ValBlue]

is anyone even remotely excited/confident for this? no? same.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

If both DCL and Richy start tomorrow, anything is possible

 

[Daytripper]

is anyone even remotely excited/confident for this? no? same.

Honestly , no. I still want them to win of course.

 

[Thomasc]

Isolating

let me guess

James
Kean
Gylfi
Delph
Gomes

the club is an absolute joke of an establishment

 

[Ralphie Boy]

I have actually been longer than what I thought waiting for info on season ticket.

I called at 0909hrs and its now 1456hrs, I'm position 12.

So far racking up 5hrs 47 minutes and counting, and we are not that good!!!!!!

We can ill afford 5 players from this squad to be unavailable, particularly in the midfield and attacking ranks. Guess Kean and James were the two of the five that Rafael referred to. The others, who knows. Allan and JPG would be a big miss. If Gomes is out too then hardly anything left in midfield to pick from… Davies, Doucoure and Delph is all that’s left.
