Match Thread Southampton v Everton Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Chegsy]

Would absolutely take a point here. These are bang in form, Broja looks very dangerous.

Hoping we see the same style, high press. We need to learn to do it without the Goodison crowd. Ingrain into being the normal way of playing.

IF we do manage to get all 3 points, and thats a huge IF - really does give us some breathing space and not a million miles away from even the top 10! Which i'd be delighted with.

He’s a menace. Sort of player we struggle against. Ward-Prowse corners will be a test. That Salisu has looked handy at the back as well, very aggressive.

Hopefully we don’t put in another Newcastle style performance.

Seems so odd Evertonians hoping to catch Southampton on a bad day lol

Not in the context of the season it's not.

I really hope the team brings their mentality from the Leeds game and not the one from the Newcastle game

Yeah I really hope we try and play our game with as much intensity as last week.

Big game, 3 points could really take us into city and spurs with confidence

 

[Amokachi1995]

These lot are due another 9-0 tonking.

 

[witchdoc187]

Forget this nonsense. We'll beat these. You lot are still living in the Rafael era all glass half empty and depressed. This is Frankie's era

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Let's have another clean sheet. Get some confidence in the defence

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

1-1 all over this.

 

[Donegal blue]

Consistency is key now, hopefully all the players show up, Come on blues.

 

[Runub]

I really hope we win this one. Can’t stand their manager

 

[Mosh Pit]

Another three points would do wonders for our confidence.

Should have some enjoyable football coming our way then and less nail biting.

I hope De Beek bosses that midfield and Alli scores a worldie from outside the box

Everton showed us against Leeds what there capable of, everton is a like a luckybag recently, we never know what we're going to get, fans have been Evertonised.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Would take a high energy performance and a draw here. We need to start not losing games if we can’t win them, the points all add up and we definitely need more of them.

 

[zook]

A draw would be alright but there's no reason to not approach this exactly how we approached that Leeds game.

I think they're a well coached side for sure, with some talented individuals scattered throughout their team but we do have the stronger 11.

Press them high, break up any rhythm they try to create and avoid conceding set-pieces in dangerous areas.

Bring that energy from the Leeds performance and we do these imo.

Really liked the set-up Frank went with last week, having Gordon and Iwobi coming inside and dragging defenders out of position, in some ways Southampton are the ideal team to play after Leeds as I don't think our set-up requires much tinkering.

2-0 to the blues.

It is great to be actually looking forward to matchday again
