kwsaint Posted 26 December, 2013 Share Posted 26 December, 2013 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 26 December, 2013 Share Posted 26 December, 2013 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.

Saint Paul C Posted 26 December, 2013 Share Posted 26 December, 2013 assuming we have a couple to come back from "injury" Gazza Clyne - Lovren - Fonte - Shaw --- Cork - Davis --- Lallana - Ramirez - Jrod SRL 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.

Lighthouse Posted 26 December, 2013 Share Posted 26 December, 2013 For the sake of everyone who was at Highbury in 1984 - we must beat these c^nts. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucks Saint Posted 26 December, 2013 Share Posted 26 December, 2013 If Davis plays alongside Cork he needs to be very disciplined and remember his protecting role.

Saint Garrett Posted 27 December, 2013 Share Posted 27 December, 2013 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SO5 4BW Posted 27 December, 2013 Share Posted 27 December, 2013 Bloody Adrian bloody Heath - nothing hurts more than a goal like that. 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussexsaint Posted 27 December, 2013 Share Posted 27 December, 2013 Can you not appeal yellows in the same way as you can appeal reds? looked a very soft yellow.

studentsaint Posted 27 December, 2013 Share Posted 27 December, 2013 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabrone Posted 27 December, 2013 Share Posted 27 December, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 27 December, 2013 Share Posted 27 December, 2013 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.

Leicestersaint Posted 27 December, 2013 Share Posted 27 December, 2013 A very tricky fixture and it's a shame Sunderland won because that may galvanise Everton - but I still think we can get something here despite our injuries and Morgan being out.
