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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).

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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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.

Jimmy_D Posted 22 October, 2020 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tajjuk Posted 22 October, 2020 Share 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.
