Match Thread Everton v Southampton Sunday 27th Nov KO 16:30

Deffo! Either way this is a must win game with the run of games we have coming up.
2-0 win with a high tempo 90 minutes performance would be perfect.

I dont think this S'ton team are that good. As the pundits were pointing out yesterday: though they were given a lot of credit for holding Liverpool last week, they did so with a lot of last ditch clearances - which suggests they aren't really set up right defensively to shut down danger.

I see this as a real chance to get morale back with a big away win.

As a matter of interest, when did we last play well for 90 minutes? Until we start doing that, there'll be more pain to endure I'm afraid.

a nice 9-1 win will be satisfactory. the players just need to show some desire and fight to win a bloody match. an early goal will pipe the scruffs down and we can take things from there.

Hopefully a comfortable 2-0/3-0 away win would be nice.

Norwich City at home last game of the season was our last 90 minute performance. Even under Martinez our 90 minute performances were very few and far between..We've had an issue with this for a long long time imo

We've gone from being the bee's knees to shiteing our knickers over playing a team that parks the bus at home and lost to Sparta Prague. Oh, we done them on their own patch 3-0 last year as well.

Hopefully Koeman picks an XI absolutely loaded with snide today instead of wimpy fruits like Jagielka and Cleverley.

Jags should be dropped
No clev or Lennon please

Liverpool battered them last week and missed a load of chances so they stole a point in the same way we did at City.

[tim cahill]

It's going to be a tough game this. Playing against a manager that ditched them will give them a boost.

 

[deipnosophist]

A Ronald Koeman piloted juggernaut is 'bout to rip the footballing tarmac from 'neath the feet of the PL unroadworthy like Southampton.

...'haps jet-lag lends me impossibled dream but I reckon we can draw this one
