Match Thread Everton v Southampton - Tuesday 17th September - 19:45

Southampton will just have too much for us

A bunch of ill prepared kick and hope merchants against a well coached pass and move team.
We will get played off the park by Southampton.
Fully expect a 2 to 3 goal defeat with Dyche rubbing his big sweaty snots all over his bald head.

….no I didn’t. I was eating a gorgeous stake sitting literally 6ft away from the lapping Med when Mrs Eggs said “Yeees, it’s 2-0’, I said we needed to now get to half-time but unfortunately we conceded. Managed to get to the hotel Sports Bar for 2nd half, we were the only 2 watching and I 100% agree about the inevitability.

Saying that, I thought the interplay was encouraging in the top third, especially when DCL hit the bar (he had no right to get to that pass as he was the wrong side of the defender). Harrison’s mistake was shocking, totally lacked the basic need to cut out the danger. I’d watched the 2nd half of RS game earlier with a Forest supporter and they did everything defensively right that we got wrong.

Branthwaite returning is hopefully our catalyst.

Spot on this Eggs, Forest were brilliant. They are gonna be fine this season.

Defended like their lives depended on it, brave and fearless.

Were defending afraid all over the pitch.

Alarm set for 6.30am.... I'll get up and make Mrs B a coffee , then wake my lad up so he can watch it with me. I'm not suffering alone. COYB

In Spain so thankfully won’t be able to watch it with Carlo’s team playing in Champions League!! Thank F for that. Would usually be at the bar at 5pm so save euros. Back soon though to the misery unless something positive happens

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Southampton will just have too much for us

Fully expect Brereton Diaz to ram our rejection of him (in favour of Beto which has not aged well) down us tonight.

 

[jtl60]

(assuming Coleman, Branthwaite, patto, Myko all out)

Pickford

Dixon
Tarks
Obrien
Young (regrettably)

Tim
Garner

Lindstrom
McNeil
Ndieye

DCL

 

[Kirkles]

I'm gonna boo and walk out if we go 2 nil up again tonight , I can't take it anymore.

 

[Groucho]

Christ is this tonight? Totally forgot.

I was happy then.

 

[Sharpattack]

We’ll lose on penalties after a drab 0-0

I can tell you're really looking forward to the match.

We will be winning 2-0 & then we know what happens next ....

 

[RomanReigns]

with the rules now changed to go straight to pens after 90 mins, there really is no incentive to try and hold onto a 1 goal lead because if they score a 89th minute equaliser then its basically pens and a lottery

If it’s 0-0 on 89 mins, at least 8 of our brave warriors will suddenly start limping.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

We should be winning this comfortably no matter what XI we start with. We are better than them and its at home. Should we somehow be able to manufacture a defeat then its on Dyche again.
