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

Orrrr an actual CM like Mangala???

Nah don't think him and Gana would compliment eachother well at all

 

[PeregrineT]

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

Id take that lineup, only change I might make is Tim for Mangala for pace/energy but dont think too much difference.

If Southampton are the worst team, to me playing Harrison over Lindstrom is basically saying you dont think we are the better squad, and are scared enough you expect to need to do a lot of defending. If you were ever going to let Lindstrom have a run at a match its this one.

Potential Banana skin?? - depends which Everton turns up...and a good piece of that depends on Dyche.

Nah, it depends on what injuries we have and what sort of a team Dyche can scrape together from what is left.

 

[Evertonthat]

Pickford
Young, Tarky, Baranners, Myko
Tim, Gana
Lindstrom, McNeil, Ndiaye
Dom

This match will likely be very similar to what Burnley away was last season. They will want to have a lot of the ball but realistically they shouldn't have enough quality to do us harm if we defend well.

We can then look to score with a set piece or by a tricky bit of play by Ndiaye or something. I don't think it will be as easy as Ipswich was, but we need to be targeting this kind of game for 3 points as we seem to be struggling to win against the mid table sides at the moment.

I don't buy into Guardiolas praise of Southampton. He just likes when teams play that way against him because it gives his team a better chance of winning. City missed so many sitters in that game and should have won 4 or 5.

like I said, it's down to Dyche...how he sets us up - who, over and above last week - is injured now?

Iroegbunam is out injured for a few weeks unfortunately

Gutted, thought he might have been back by now. Bone injury though so could be a few weeks. Doucoure will probably get the nod again.

I don't think he'll drop Keane until he has one of his absolute howler performances (we won't be far off I gues).

 

[MichaelEFC96]

Get Harrison on the left, Ndiaye off DCL and Lindstrom back in if McNeil is out

But the dinosaur will revert to his Doucoure tactic

 

[Tommy Chong]

Let's get this won. COYB!

Unfortunately, I reckon it'll be another dire draw... 1-1.

If we're lucky, that is.

Struggled past Stoke in the cup. Feels like we are that team that gets beat when a team hasn't won yet but there are no excuses for this game. Win or nothing.
