Judging by the importance of a result and the necessity of not allowing Everton I see Pellegrino going all out for the point, but without midfield options he'll probably just make sure that everyone man marks their opposite number, both in and out of possession.

 

I expect the team might be:

 

-----------------Forster-----------------

Cedric---Yoshida-------Van Dijk---Bertrand

---------JWP-----------Hojbjerg----------

Tadic----------Boufal-------------Redmond

----------------Long--------------------

 

Personally I'd prefer Stephens in where JWP is and Tadic and Redmond out for JWP on the right and Hesketh on the left. Don't see that happening, though.

A well-managed Saints team should beat the cluster**** that is Everton. It will feel like an opportunity squandered if we don’t win.

 

I’m still hoping that Lemina is going to be fit to start. Does it mean anything that he’s on the cover of the matchday program?

Unfortunately not

Lets keep everything exactly the same because its working so well [sarcasm off]

We need changes, this way is proven to get us no where.

 

Forster

Cedric-Hoedt-VVD-Yoshida-Bertrand

Tadic-Boufal-Redmond

Austin-Gabbi

Seems to be a lot of parallels between both sets of fans regarding the attitude towards their squads, managers and board. I can't imagine this game will be anything other than dull. Not sure why Sky have decided to broadcast two out of form teams against each other but there you go.

I wouldn't expect a Saints team with JWP and Hoj as their midfield engine to beat a local tyro team let alone Everton..

So with only two fit central midfielders neither who are proper holding DMs we could just go old school 4-4-2 put Redmond on the right and McQueen on the left as wingers with Austin and Gabbi up front. Not that Mope would do that mind.

 

Alternatively as the thought of JWP and Hoj in the centre of the park fills me with dread could jack Stephens or Yoshida do a job as a DM?

The scoreline line really flattered Atalanta, Everton weren't that bad at all. Despite some poor results they've been playing some great stuff, certainly better than us at the moment. We'll do very well to get a draw from this, but Everton should beat us comfortably. 3-0 or 3-1 to them would not be a disaster for us, as we'd avoid the morale destroying thrashing which they could quite easily dish out.

Were you watching a different game to the rest of us? Atlanta as the away side had 22 shots on Everton's goal. The Everton keeper Robles did well to keep it to only 5 goals conceded.

What an utterly bizarre statement! Is this supposed to be a "joke" of some kind? :?

We really have to win this convincingly - they are at absolute rock bottom. If we don't i'll start getting worried about this year.

 

3-0 Saints.

 

 

They not really at rock bottom though they picked up 4 points in their last two league games (unlike us). Last nights game was a dead rubber that they made changes for so you can't read much into that.

 

On top of that we have lost our best three CMs and will have to play two players who couldn't help stop a U23s Fulham side score four goals. We probably also have the worst keeper in the PL (backed up by two even worse back up keepers) who couldn't catch a cold let alone a football.... So a win let alone a convincing one looks unlikely.

Don't forget potentially playing someone who hasn't scored in almost a full calendar year as our lone striker.

Playing with no midfielders is a great idea IMO.

 

Can't work out why you are not a PL Manager with this kind of genius.

Not sure if both sigurdsson and Rooney will both be playing - but both can hit the target and will give FF a nightmare of an afternoon. Sadly, can see a 3-0 or worse this Sunday. I just wish I didn't feel like this.....almost feels like I'm slagging off my wife.

0-2 everton. Another limp performance. Minimal shots on target. Pickford might as well do his xmas shopping online whilst waiting for something of note to happen near his goal.

 

No way pellegrino will survive another loss. Atmosphere will be toxic and stubborn les will have to sack him.

Although Everton are woeful at present it just seem we are even worse and i just can not see a win for us. You need to score goals to win games and you have to be able to keep clean sheets....neither of which we are capable of at the moment. 0-2 Everton and Pellegrino out the door by middle of next week.

Battle of the two 'most f*cked up from a good position' clubs in the league. No idea, could go either way.

 

If we lose does he get sacked?

 

On a side note the Fulham U23 performance, weren't like 3 of their goals from corners? U23s were just crap defensively but I thought they looked alright going forward.

There’s your first mistake. This is not a well managed Saints team

Think Everton will be looking to get any pride back that they still might have and looking for a reaction to last night`s humiliating drubbing.

 

I`m hoping for the best but fearing the worst.

It will be a fiesta of attacking and stylish football and we will................................................................................................................................

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Win 1 nil

 

 

 

 

:eek:

we will never play a team at such a low ebb - it should be a massacre :smug:

 

 

We are at a lower ebb than they are. They've picked up 4 points in the last two league games we picked up zero scary as it sound they are the team in form not us.....

Doesn’t exactly fill one with confidence does it? I’m still holding onto the hope that Lemina is fit and ready to go.
