Match Thread Southampton vs Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Efctrueblue]

Makes sense with McNeil for Gordon given the fixture congestion and McNeil having a full week of training to prepare. Would have also of been tempted to bench Onana for Douc for the same reason

Douc cannot pass a football! Never seen a player give it away so much! Garner and even Davies should be ahead of him

Have to sign a forward in January, we haven't even got to the heavy part of the season for injuries.
We are playing with fire especially after last season's antics.

Nobody knew that Dom would be injured, so the expectation was to go into the season with him, a striker (Maupay) and Ron, with wingers to boot.

Fancy McNeil to play well here

So do I. I think he'll be an asset defensively and helping us catch Southampton on the break.

Mcneil has certainly not been better though

This is because of injury, not form. I've no doubt on that.

It is a big opportunity though for Mcneil and he needs to show something

Gordon is injured? Since when? He’s on the bench isn’t he?

I am finding you extremely tiresome... and I'm not renown for my patience.
Take the hint !!

Can I emerge from the bunker if I concur?

lol

I read that he had a knock from the 21s game on Tuesday and didn't train

lol

Let me think about that

Happy to see Lavia still out injured. Think it’ll be close. Clearly looking to nick one and sit on it. Never know what your going to get with Soton. They are decent enough at home though.

Southampton team has five players with hyphenated names. Interesting

A slight knock which is why he came off after 70 v Germany U21s

And they might well get shortened in the match report

Was literally about to post this and say they need to be snotted just for that lol

Kyle John on the bench. Ahead of Mills currently you reckon? for RB anyway.

Mills was playing for the U21s last night

Brave decision to leave out Gordon.

Brave decision to leave out Gordon.

Not for me, he was well off it vs West Ham.

Brave decision to leave out Gordon.

Gordon has been ill.
