Nearly there but not quite for me.

If JWP really isn't fit then:

Forster;
KWP, Bedernak, Salisu, Perraud;
Armstrong, Romeu;
Walcott, Redmond;
Adams, Tella.

9 subs don't forget - McCarthy, Livromento, Stephens, Diallo, Broja, Armstrong, Djenpo, dymel + 1 new signing

I think Tella will start up front alongside Adams, with Redmond in the CAM spot.

If JWP wants to maintain his record for playing every minute then:

Forster;
KWP, Bedernak, Salisu, Perraud;
JWP, Romeu;
Armstrong, Redmond;
Adams, Tella.

McCarthy, Livromento, Stephens, Diallo, Broja, Armstrong, Djenpo, dymel/+1 new signing, Walcott.
 

9 subs is ridiculous really, especially at Goodison Park where I think they are still making the away team change in a Portacabin in the car park due to covid. Good to see so many options to bring on

Hope we win and see Everton booed off the pitch, turning the fans even more against Rafa and putting them into a downward spiral that ends with relegation...

That would be nice, and then stay there for a few years. They'd have the biggest and best new stadium in the lower leagues.

They're really not a happy bunch over on GOT...

https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/the-absolute-state-of-this-club.113204/page-7

They are in a similar situation to us - disillusioned with the owner (who is worth a LOT more than Gao), and pissed off that they have a squad full of overpaid, under-performing players who they can't shift. At least we have nearly cleared all our deadwood now, but they haven't managed to sell any if theirs this window (yet).

Never been a better time to play them at their place, especially as Richarlison and possibly DCL will still be out.

Pretty sure we'll still find a way to not take all 3 points though, like we always do at Goodison.

Times saying Richarlison forgoing holiday and will be in the squad and DCL likely to be fit.

Somewhat changes things as they are a good pair and Richarlison always causes us hassle.

Seem to recall DCL giving Salisu a torrid time las year.

DCL v Salisu was like men against boys last year, he'll need to toughen up as will Perraud against Richarlison. 

Absolute joke he can just stroll on in from Japan, should have to quarantine for at least 5 days.

Richarlison is due back at Everton's training ground tomorrow and will be in contention to play in the opening game of the season.

The Brazilian international was granted permission to extend his campaign by playing in the Tokyo Olympics and it was expected he would miss the first games of the season because of it.

But it has now emerged Everton gave the 24-year-old the go-ahead on the basis that he would not require an extended rest after the tournament and would return soon after the Games had finished.

Richarlison helped Brazil overcome Spain in the Olympic final on Saturday but is expected to return to Finch Farm on Wednesday and be available to face Southampton, at Goodison, this weekend.

JWP should be back for the weekend. Wonder if Armstrong is fit too. If so change team to:

 

Forster

KWP Bednarek Salisu Perraud

Romeu JWP

Armstrong Tella

Che Armstrong

Suddenly that's a pretty nice team. Would like to see us maybe upgrade on Bednarek by swapping out Vest for a new signing but I'm hopeful!

Is Calvert Lewis fit? He absolutely bullied Salisu in the last game up there. Hope Salisu can be a bit stronger with him on Saturday 

Looks like he'll play going by the chatter from up there. He's been kept clear of the pre-season games so he's got the best chance of this one I think

Expect Richarlison to be on the bench.

Maybe we'll see Vestergaard straight in alongside Bednarek?

Avoid parking in Liverpool if at all possible

Best to take your wheels off and put them in your pockets.

There are quite a few places as you get towards the ground that do parking for a tenner , you'll be fine parking in one of those unofficial match day car parks

The last time I went to Goodison, mate was driving and I was quite shocked when he willingly paid (a fiver then, I think) to park on a cleared building site, run by a lad aged about 15, but everything was fine. My mate said that there was competition amongst the 'parkers', and they took a pride in looking after their 'clients' cars.

Some years ago on business trip to Brazil, my host took me to the Maracana Stadium for a match and as a matter of routine found a young lad hanging around and gave him a huge tip to "watch my car". At the end of the match all was fine;  my host explained, giving a tip to kids from the favela's was routine and the only way to ensure you still had a car to drive home in!

Your prospects should be slightly better in Liverpool.

I's 'protection' money.

Losing wallets to pickpockets and hub caps to thieves are valid concerns up there, but I’m more worried about refereeing larceny from a guy who should have had his whistle taken away years ago. It’s a real back-to-earth thud to realize that he’s still going to be out there, wreaking his own brand of havoc.

Last time we went there 5 years ago ish - we aimed for the parking at Walton Hall Park as it seemed to offer a trouble free escape back to the M57.
When we got there we noticed lots of cars parked on the roadside with more arriving and Toffee people getting out their cars. No yellow lines or restriction signs - we said “chance it” pulled up parked, another car pulled up parked in front of us, Dad and his Daughter scarfed and shirted up. He said they had parked there for a few seasons with no issues whatsoever. We said we'll follow you as you know where you are going “we’re going to the pub” yup we’re definitely following you 😁

M57 towards Southport exit A580 East Lancs Road towards Liverpool - passing retail parks and Cineworld - you should soon see pleasant houses on the left and Walton Park on the right over the central reservation U turn to be facing the right way for home.  10-15 minute walk from the ground. 

Having typed all that probably Yellow Lines now and a ticket machine - worth a look still and an easy escape

Hasenhuttl confirmed today Ward-Prowse will be available to play vs Everton. 

Ralph seemed very certain that JWP will play didn't he, surprising considering he hasn't played at all pre season. We should have a strong bench for once  at least.

"There’s a large element of Southampton’s travelling fans which resemble a rugby crowd, complete with Wranglers, official merchandise, footwear that even St John’s would reject in 1991 and just a general air of thick, mundane, SUV on finance driving suburban flotsam, which is alright as that’s the general default for most of the country now – but I don’t want Southampton’s head kicked in the dust for them. No it’s the other element of their fanbase, which is made up entirely of twenty something Stone Island tattooed hideous try hard banter teds. They’re as convincing as Harry Potter playing a football hooligan, which incidentally seems to be their bible for how to attend a football game. The trouble is that it fools no one and it causes a level of cringe so intense that it makes you even want a Rafa Benitez team to enrage them for your viewing pleasure.

Make no mistake these Soccer AM adoring bad bad texans can’t wait to tell anyone about their “cheeky acca” that’s just been let down for a false amount by a shitter team in the lower leagues, nor can they return from the bogs in Wetherspoons with a shit eating grin on them and hocking to clean their throat so everyone in the vicinity is aware of baby’s first line of cocaine. Want to know who’s heading the UFC tonight? Fear not, they cant wait to tell you along with an encyclopaedic knowledge of how Brazilian Jujitsu matches up against orthodox kick boxing, and how they all paid for a brass that one time in Vegas when they went to see some goth boxer you’ve never heard of. Compelled to know more about these charismatic young fellows? Simply take a look at their right arm where you’ve got a fully documented life story (22 years and counting) expressed into their sleeve tattoo like some well marketed but terribly executed totem poll, with a little bicep creeping out after 100 curls a day with a can of Campbell’s Soup. What’s the significance of the clock face on your tattoo there, mate? Never seen that before. Well apart from that time John Stones’ bird caught him having some strange and he needed to show how sorry he was."

At the press conference it sounded pretty clear that Ralph will not be brave enough to start with Adam Armstrong against Everton. Not sure why when he is clearly the best option out of what we have. Can see him being brought off the bench if we find ourselves chasing the game. As usual Ralph will be reactive rather than proactive. Or maybe he'll surprise me but I doubt it.

I think tella could cause them problems so i’ll be happy if we start Armstrong on the bench. Doesn’t make sense to rush him in whilst he’s still learning how we play and getting to know teammates etc.

Not quite sure how sitting on the bench helps Armstrong learn how we play. Get him in the side from the start and let's see what he's got. I think Armstrong is far more likely to cause Everton problems than Tella, who I like, but is still pretty raw.

Training sessions will help him learn how we play, which he’ll have had very few of.

each to their own on tella, personally I think his raw pace on the break against a team that will be forced to come out will be very dangerous.

Wow I wonder if she writes that for every travelling fan base. I would hate to think it was exclusive to Saints. Some copy and paste job!
