Match Thread Southampton 1-0 Everton . Sat November 2nd. 3pm

I'm not sure what is going on with Branthwaite, but, something doesn't seem right, he's been fit for a number of weeks now and still hasn't started. He's an odd cat Dyche.
Dyche will say that players deserve to keep their place unless they do wrong and it’s not fair to drop Keane after a few decent games.
He is wrong.
 
I get that Keane hasn’t played poorly for a few games, but unless there are concerns JB can go a full 90 he really needs to be out there.

Happy that Keane has become someone that I don’t dread seeing in the side, but that could all change with one mistake today. He’s become somewhat serviceable as a backup, why tempt fate?
Why not give Tarks a rest, would Keane and Branthwaite playing together work? All so rigid in selection choices.
 
Branthwaite is literally our best player
We allegedly told United we need more than 70m to consider selling him
Yes Keane had a couple of decent performances but my god man, play your best players!!!!
It’s so hard to defend Dyche when he makes decisions like this which is ultimately why I’ve changed from him deserving a chance after last seasons 48 points to feeling he doesn’t anymore
Clearly, Branthwaite doesn't know how to play with Dyche's balls... I mean Dycheball properly.
 

He is trolling us today

I think that's a bit harsh. Loads calling for Lindstrom to get another chance and I didn't expect him to start ahead of Harrison so by Dyche standards that is having a go for an away game especially as McNeil might not be 100%.

Team should have enough to win today as I've wanted to see Mangala alongside Gana for a few weeks. That has a solid look to it.

Surprised Southampton aren't playing Tyler Dibbling and putting him against Young as he has pace to burn.
 
On paper this should be our best front 4 against one of the worst defences in the division so if we don't score goals today there is a problem.
 
It would’ve made total sense to bring Jarrad back in today when you consider Southampton’s front two are small, quick players. Neither Keane or Tarky are best suited to dealing with these types of players or the way Southampton play.

Would be very surprised to see us having to deal with many high balls or crosses today. I just hope Southampton are as hopeless today as they have been all season or the manager is going to get it in a big way.

It's very bizarre and one of the reasons he will never manage a club with resources.
