Window Cleaner Posted 3 May, 2018 Share Posted 3 May, 2018 If Arsenal win tonight then I fear they will play their youth team against Huddersfield last game of the season with the Europa final 3 days later. Could be at least a point for Huddersfield maybe 3. 2 wins maybe needed. Big if though really. Arsenal are very poor defensively and may well get taken to the cleaners.

SFC Forever Posted 3 May, 2018 Share Posted 3 May, 2018 1950, Southampton FC's stadium, The Dell, became the first ground in England to have permanent floodlighting installed. The first game played under the lights there was on 31 October 1950, in a friendly against Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic, followed a year later by the first "official" match under floodlights, a Football Combination (Reserve team) match against Tottenham Hotspur on 1 October 1951.

Lighthouse Posted 3 May, 2018 Share Posted 3 May, 2018 Good news, I've got Tosun in my fantasy team as captain and sacrificed 4 points to get Mawson in too, so they're both going to have a stinker this game week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGTL Posted 3 May, 2018 Share Posted 3 May, 2018 Christ this is a big game, if you haven't got a ticket, why the hell not? Get up there and support the lads, could make all the difference. I'd practically rather be playing any other side outside the top 6, our record up there is appaling and we barely muster a shot on target most years it seems, let alone anything else. 0-1 Saints.

Shance Posted 4 May, 2018 Share Posted 4 May, 2018 This thread. So much *****ing about Everton and who are they bigger than. The only reason why a few have a bee in their bonnet is because some of their muppet fans joined this forum to troll. I know quite a few Everton fans and they are all proper sound lads. Some of their fans are deluded yes, but so are some of every teams fans. Not long ago that some on here were expecting us to make a push for the champions league. Internet forums don't give a true representation of a teams fan base ffs. Anyway, they haven't been playing great lately but we are usually **** at Goodison, so even though it's a game we should go for, I think we'll draw. 2-2. I'd actually take that now tbh. Swansea is a must win. 4 points from these next 2 games and we are safe imo as Swansea will beat Stoke and We'll finish above Huddersfield!!

DT Posted 4 May, 2018 Share Posted 4 May, 2018 It's going to be very flat on here if we don't get anything up there. I'm really hoping we don't set up for a draw, because we will lose. The refreshing thing about last week was the desire to win - missing all season thanks to the Pillockgrino. We absolutely need a win here because settling for a point is amazingly dangerous for a pressure game against Swansea. Let's get it done now instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Garrett Posted 4 May, 2018 Share Posted 4 May, 2018 Mate of mine is an Everton season-ticket holder. He says outside of playing the top 6, they are really solid at home. He doesn't think we'll get anything. I'm fearing a really flat performance after the heroics of last week. But, to be honest, Everton aren't exactly Barcelona.

IFHP Posted 4 May, 2018 Share Posted 4 May, 2018 We are crap. Very crap. Be amazed if we get a point let alone 3 We have improved under Hughes. Good performances in the league against Arsenal, Chelsea and Bournemouth, however our defensive failings which have been with us all season are still there. The one game (league)since he joined us where we didn't play well could cost us - West Ham away Like you say though we have been crap for most of the season, keeping the Clown for too long and failing to win against sides we would have expected to is the reason why we are 3rd bottom. 9 times out of 10 we would lose at Everton, we just have to hope tomorrow is the 10th - though we need to Win not draw in my opinion .

SaintAndy14 Posted 4 May, 2018 Share Posted 4 May, 2018 How do you think we will set up? Will Long start to try to stretch their fairly slow defence? Out of the 11 that started last week, it was only Redmond who didn't have a good game in my opinion (except for his contribution to starting the counter-attack for Tadic's first goal). Everton are quite a slow team overall, so pace could be an advantage. Sims to have an impact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SO16_Saint Posted 4 May, 2018 Share Posted 4 May, 2018 Listening to talkSPORT all week with Everton fans phoning up bemoaning the team, manager, style and results (could have been our fans tbh) I really think we have a chance of 1, if not 3, points tomorrow.

Suhari Posted 4 May, 2018 Share Posted 4 May, 2018 Yep! A dose of reality beckons. Too many wishful thinkers on here. Our crapness mostly stems from ****-poor management over most of this season, and a resultant lack of confidence. We are far better than our league position suggests. However, at anytime a win away against Everton is a tall order, so I'm not too optimistic. Would be happy with a point. Will be ecstatic if we get 3. 2-0 win for Saints!!!!!

The worry in mind is their attacking players like Walcott, Tosun and Bolassie will have too much speed and tricks for our defence - we are completely in the shade if you compare our attacking players. Somehow we have to play the boring stuff; pack the midfield with Romeu, Hoj and Lemina and rely on nicking one or two through the finish of Austin or the "hard to depend on" sparks of Tadic. I'm feeling a mix of hope and denial. Hope that we can squeak out of this mess and deal with the dross of Kreuger, Reed and co.......and denial, of the strong possibility that the Toffees despatch us and effectively send us to the trap door.
