Match Thread Everton v Southampton

[Moomin]

Mark Hughes to do a Jose Celebration in front of the Gwladys Street as they score an injury time winner

I'm surprised that you found room for Baines on the bench, were you on the Moon last week or what? If our manager agrees with you, then you
both want your arses kicking.

I mean I'm anxious to see Digne like the rest of us but Baines was involved I both goals last week.

 

[Jeff Jones]

We were happy with the improved performance last week, but that came about largely because of Silva's tactics. Apart from
Richarlison it was the same side that bored us witless last season with Sam's defensive set up. We hope that continues and
I think it will, tactically. It doesn't mean were going on a long run of good results, though, and we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves. Anything less than a win this week will wreck the mood and I've got my fingers crossed, that's all.

The reponse was almost instant too.

Did you watch the game?! Was nothing like sam’s defencive set up. Players had willing runners all over the park and pressed high up. Did you not see when we got a throw in deep in there half from THEIR corner because of the closing down?

That's what I said.

God help Richarlison if he dosen’t score today

Im predicting a minimum of 30 ‘consistancy’ complaints on here

Mark Hughes isn't quite known for his teams going forward. Got a feeling he's going to have the bus parked, the emergency brake applied and the tires booted. Gonna be tough to break through

We now have Richarlison who's direct play and running at their defence will create them a lot of problems.

 

[polish]

We were strong at home with Koman and Allardyce at helm, so I don't see many reasons why we can't beat a side like Southampton today

 

[Blue Juice]

Can someone please take this hope from me. It's too early in the season to have my heart broken

He`ll be too busy moaning at the fourth official about something to have even noticed

 

[Nymzee]

I hope the crowd is absolutely electric for the lads today.

 

[Kinky Koeman]

Just spoke to me youngest lad to apprise him it's on the telly at 2.00am and said "you're watching it mate?". He lives with his Ma down in New Plymouth, and he says "yeah definitely".
I say "is that you Capt Jags?"...

...we both burst out laughing.

I guess apples never fall far from trees...

Bahhhahah

he was by no means terrible. think you're being needlessly harsh, he deserves a place on the bench as cover for digne

..Walcott nearly got on the end of a couple of one-on-ones last week, it’s only a matter of time before he’s put in on goal.

The performance last week was head and shoulders above anything Sam managed, and we only had ten men for most of the game.

We’re a work in progress so failing to win today isn’t that big of a deal. Southampton are mince though so we probably will take three points
