A good three points in the bag against Cardiff. Everton should be an interesting game I feel. Howard is suspended so they'll have to make do with Robles who has two league appearances this season. Admittedly, we don't have Boruc, Wanyama or Schneiderlin but should have Osvaldo, Lovren and Clyne. COYR!!!

Robles was pretty decent for Wigan I thought. Barry will be a miss but Morgan even more so as VW also out. Cork will have to snuff out Barkley and need Lovren to do a job on Lukaku who has perhaps slightly lost form.

 

If we play well can get something.

For the sake of everyone who was at Highbury in 1984 - we must beat these c^nts.

 

We have a terrible record against Everton, but loved the 0-2 win in the late 90's when KD scored a wonder goal.

 

I feel they will be back on track with a home win. :-(

Hmmm...beaten by a bad bounce in a sand pit.:x We owe them one.

 

yes, I'll never forget the odious midget Heath scoring, and the ****s on the pitch after the match.

assuming we have a couple to come back from "injury"

 

Gazza

 

Clyne - Lovren - Fonte - Shaw

 

--- Cork - Davis ---

 

Lallana - Ramirez - Jrod

Also, we have to assume that ***ttenberg will award Everton a dodgy late 2nd half penalty so need to make sure we've got at least a couple before this certainty happens.

Maybe I just don't get it because I wasn't there but we must have played Everton about 40 times since then. Surely it's time to move on from a game 30 years ago? We do have a sh*t recent record against Everton though. 1-0 from a Pahars penalty in 2002 was our last win I think.

 

I'd go for the same team but with Lovren back in if fit, other than that I don't think there's really much to change. I'm guessing Ossie is out for disciplinary issues as I haven't heard anything regarding injuries with from the club.

It was horrible, just horrible.

If Davis plays alongside Cork he needs to be very disciplined and remember his protecting role. That said he was back to his best again today and is very quick to sniff out danger and covers huge distances

Just watched MotD. Morgan seemed to be orchestrating most of our play. Pain in the bum that he won't be available for the Everton game as he makes us tick.

Yep but they did a great job vs man city.

Bloody Adrian bloody Heath - nothing hurts more than a goal like that.

Will be one of our hardest games of the season IMO. They're a top side and Lukaku embarrassed us last year for WBA.

 

Not expecting anything, especially with Schneiderlin out. Few pluses with Howard, Barry and them having just lost to Sunderland!

What was so annoying about that goal (apart from the obvious), was that if the chance had fallen to anybody else they'd have have had to take another touch, as it bounced at chest height, and then Shilton would have had more chance of saving it

 

However, for Adrian bastard Heath, the shortest man (or tallest midget) ever to play professional football, it was at head height...

 

For those who weren't there it was the most gut-wrenching moment in my 40+ years of follwing SFC

 

Please, please beat them on Sunday!

Can you not appeal yellows in the same way as you can appeal reds? looked a very soft yellow.

 

Gutted Wanyama isn't fit for this one.

 

The win however will get our Mojo back and we will continue our unbeaten run ;)

Heard that was Evertons first home defeat in 2013? Hard luck as they were down to 10 and still dominated. You won't find a tougher fixture.

 

Gazza

Clyne fonte lovren Shaw

Jwp cork Davis

Lallana J Rod

Ossie

 

4 changes after 2 day gap. Strong side. Went to this formation v city when without Morgan and VW and worked well. J rod v Colman will be interesting and get Lallana going at Oviedo who is a midfielder at heart IMO although probable that Baines is back. Don't give silly free kicks away with him and Barkley (I'm looking at you fonte).

Can't see us getting anything from this one. Everton are an excellant side plus we have a horrific record against them, a real bogey team.

 

However if we could somehow sneak a win it would be the sweetest result of the year for me as Mr Heath plus almost 30 years of pain against them needs to be redressed. Come on Saints, we owe this lot a thrashing.

Absolutely. My most gut wrenching day as a Saints fan - we should have won the Cup that year.

Why on earth would you want Ramirez to start an away game against a good side? Or at all? He's a complete liability, a passenger and doesn't fit our system.

 

Gazza (unless someone else is fit)

Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw

Cork Davis

JWP Lallana Rodriguez

Osvaldo (Lambert)

 

We'll have to play well to get anything from this. They'll create chances, let's hope they're off target again.

He scored there last season and played alright from what I remember. We were undone by some shoddy defending...again.

No reason why we can't get a result. Sunderland did yesterday, so why not us.

 

 

I think Mannone had a fair old game for Sunderland yesterday...and they got a penalty. Still no point in dismissing our chances out of hand in advance. We looked pretty good yesterday as well.

Lovren looks to be back in training today, we probably held him back with the specific threat of Lukaku in view. Anyway Jose and Maya did all that was needed of them yesterday.

Gazzaniga

Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw

Cork Davis

Ramirez Lambert Lallana

Rodriguez

 

As crap as Gazzaniga is it'd be stupid to change him for another crap keeper after a clean sheet

 

 

I have to admit it was his best game so far.. which isn't saying much as there was scarcely a shot on target from the Cardiff front line (such as it was).

 

Everton might present a bit more of a challenge in that area.

All he's done this season is lose possession, fall over, and float attacking free kicks over the bar for a goal kick. We've got players that can do a job much better than him. I'm sure JWP will get the nod.

If lovren fit I would bring him back in as harsh as it may seem after a clean sheet but Everton obviously far better than Cardiff. I actually predicted sunderland to win 1-0 on super six on basis Everton may start to tire over Xmas period as they have a pretty settled starting 11. They have no real decent cover for Distin or jagielka.

 

To get anything we must protect back four by picking up Barkley, marellas and pieneer inbetween the lines as highlighted by savage on MOTD last night

I'm not at all sure that Lovren didn't play as a DM on occasions at Lyon but then again they sometimes have strange ideas concerning their players' capacities.

He certainly has the ability on the ball and willingness to take it forward to play as a DM.

Our team is still way off full strength. We know the stand-ins can play together as we saw against Cardiff.....However, it is still a fragile set-up. IMO, it will all be down to confidence on the day. I predict a win, a draw, or a defeat for us.

This was looking like a home banker, but both results yesterday will give us a fighting chance. 1-1

 

Everton will be well short of full strength as well, if Mirallas is really out as well as Barry their midfield will be much changed, nearly as much as ours. Can't really say about their keeper situation as I know nothing about Robles at all. If we can keep Lukaku quiet then we have every chance.

apparently,

miralles is out as well as delifeou

 

Things are falling into place.....

 

They've been amazing all year, but they will hit a wall at some point in terms of results. Why not now...?

I think the VMAN mentioned Boruc may well be back for this game :o

 

 

doubt it, Mauricio said Guly,Victor and Artur were definitely out of the festive games, don't think Boruc will be back in goal until after the cup game.
