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

[Simon Buttle]

Beto to start over DCL? Come on Blues, you know how this ends. Instant regret after 10mins when the ball bounces off him and he can't keep the ball. DCL still to start for me BUT I think they should be working on playing two up top. For a manager who's deep philosophy was 4-4-2 with Barnes and Wood I don't know why he can't instill a system for us.

Virtually nobody in any of the top leagues in Europe plays 4-4-2 anymore and with good reason. The way tactics and gameplay have changed it's just seen as being easy too play against. Most wide players cut inside rather than go to the byline as its easy for a FB to just push them out of play and most CB are as big and strong as any striker these days if not bigger and with as much pace so banging the ball in at head height isn't as easy as it sounds. Its just a bit of a bum tactic these days.

Southampton are really crap and managed by an obsessive, rigid man who will never change his boring take on footy. He makes Dyche look like Pep.

DCL and/or Beto hat-trick.

 

[HappyJack]

Keane up front . Dcl centre half. You heard it here first y’all…..

 

[Ged G]

Dyche somehow wins these games away from home and then struggles at home to the absolute home bankers

Away suits us. No tension unlike at Goodison

We'll win but there'll be no hatricks

We'll win but there'll be no hatricks

We havent scored an away league hattrick since Lukaku in our 3-0 win at Sunderland 8 years ago - That is our only away league hattrick since the year 2000

A win here and we can look up the table instead of over the shoulder.. there's a gap developing from the bottom 3 let's widen it, it would be great to be comfortable by February/ March and look forward to BMD, I couldn’t think of anything worse for us than this relegation talk dragging out until May or going to the last few games not certain of being in the PL.

we said this before fulham and we failed

expect us to here

 

[matty1878]

They've still only 6 league goals in 9 games though. I don't think they have the players to cope with the Premier League. It's the best chance we will have all season for an away win.

it’s the best chance for them to kick start therye season

 

[matty1878]

Southampton's first win.

people are saying we’re being negative about this on here

but evertons stats for kick starting teams seasons, players goals, records needed etc

speaks for itself

 

[RomanReigns]

I think I would like to see the following team for this one if they are all fit

Pickford
Young
Tarkowski
Branthwaite
Mykolenko
Gueye
Mangala
Lindstrom
McNeil
Ndiaye
Beto
