Of course they have their share of bedwetters and drama queens, but football forums would be boring places without them. Why shouldn't they be confident? They've got an excellent manager whose influence is now shining through, they have started the season in really good form, and they are one of our bogey teams who we never seem able to beat. They have every right to be confident really. But so should we. Should be a good game. 5

Somebody on the Everton forum suggests Armstrong is out with a thigh strain (no idea of how they have that info): They are playing it down a little but with no Walcott option in this game Saints are struggling a bit. Dejenepo injured, Armstrong picked up a strain while self isolating !!! So they choose between Long (has 45mins max in him) and Tella (youth, headless chicken).

If Saints lose (probably likely but obviously hopefully not) then don't lose bad ie get smashed.

With no Richarlison, the threat is aerial via DCL and you don’t want to be defending in your penalty area. I also think that getting upfront and personal with James and Gomez is the right way to go Press high maybe, but trying to get our CB pair to defend on the halfway line is recipe for disaster IMO.
JRM Posted 22 October, 2020 Posted 22 October, 2020 Must be nearly the one year anniversary of the Leicester 0-9 game so expect that to be mentioned every few mins on the commentary, hopefully no repeat of that performance. I'd definitely be happy with a point , our home record is still not great, Pickford is bound to be man of the match when he should be suspended. Their midfield looks strong, hope Armstrong is available.

Sunday actually marks the one year anniversary to the day (25th October)... I think this calls for a sweepstake on the number of mentions. I'll go for 17.

Seems odd Rodriguez was able to play the rest of the game, wouldn't surprise me if he appears still on Sunday. As mentioned elsewhere Palace were missing an entire defence and beat us 1-0 so won't read too much into this. When's Ralph's press conference?
BallBoy Posted 22 October, 2020 Posted 22 October, 2020 Rodriguez being out is the best news possible for us. Coleman and Richarlison out is a bonus. Still a very tough game for us though. Everton won't win the league but I don't think they will that far off it. Ancelloti is a top, top manager. He will get the best out of what he has.

What would you consider counts as 'not far off it'? 2nd or 3rd and within 10 points of 1st? Edited 22 October, 2020 by Matthew Le God

Jimmy_D Posted 22 October, 2020 Posted 22 October, 2020 With the players Everton have out, as long as we play anywhere near how we did in the second half against Chelsea, I'm expecting us to win this one fairly comfortably.
tajjuk Posted 22 October, 2020 Posted 22 October, 2020 Richarlison is already a big miss as he seems to always score against us. With James Rodriguez as well their side seems a lot more ordinary and like it was last year. If we can keep Calvert-Lewin quiet, then pressure their defence which is not good IMO should do well.
trousers Posted 22 October, 2020 Posted 22 October, 2020 I've made Calvert-Lewin my Fantasy Football captain this week, so we're nailed on clean sheet winners I reckon 1

SaintBobby Posted 22 October, 2020 Posted 22 October, 2020 Rodriguez and Richarlison being out has sure impacted the odds. Everton are still favourites, but only by a whisker.
wild-saint Posted 23 October, 2020 Posted 23 October, 2020 (edited) Well reading their a Forum Grand Old Team they are supremely confident and we are mid table dross. Not one post even gives us a look In despite having half a team out. They seem to think they are Real Madrid FFS, more like Real w@nkers! Edited 23 October, 2020 by wild-saint

Harry_SFC Posted 23 October, 2020 Posted 23 October, 2020 With Walcott, Djenepo and Smallbone out and Armstrong not fully fit, will we see a start for Nathan Tella? Or could we play JWP on the right and give Diallo a debut in the middle?
Appy Posted 23 October, 2020 Posted 23 October, 2020 If Armstrong isn't fit to start i would guess JWP will move to the right, especially with the threat of Digne.
