The Saints v Everton Build Up and Match Thread

Go on then Bob, i’ll give it a go.

Time to get back on track and this is the perfect opportunity against that twat Koeman.

Hopefully Tadic will be back … I’d like to see him and Boufal both playing to be honest.

2 nil Saints for me.

Good man SITF :lou_sunglasses:

I have voiced my pessimism elsewhere but I am pessimistic in the extreme.

A team of individuals versus a team who can’t score!!

We’re properly fecked.

1-0 the Toffees

1-0 as we are scoring 1 goal per game on average. Everton not that great away. Our defence is pretty solid at home.

We do tend to let 1 in though… no sticking with 1-0.

we should be winning this just to show Koeman what he left behind.

Hehe, never had you down as a melt Bob

… a bit of reverse psychology perhaps :lou_wink_2:

It’s not often the Echo comes up with anything particulary interesting but this article from Simon Peach pretty much sums up how a lot of people see it.

Why Koeman return could be bad timing for Puel

We really need a win tomomorrow or at the very least, a fighting performance.

I don’t really understand the negativity. You have poor run of results in football. We went through the same under said Manager in the oppo dugout tomorrow.

Qualification through the group stages is still in our hands and the Manager has to rotate the squad. We are in the quarter final of the league cup and a modest position in the league, where things could turn tomorrow. Let’s reflect again in 2/3 weeks and see what position we are in. Win tomorrow and Wednesday and Thursday will be forgotten!

lovely positivity, sfcsim. I really hope you’re right, but when the normally positive people of sotonians are beginning to get nervy (me included) there’s probably grounds for it. We’ve just lacked any real threat for ages now. That’s my concern. It’s like we’ve forgotten what the point is and how to score.

I’m going to predict 3-1 in the hope that my positive vibes reach someone’s football boots.

I’m going to wear my lucky Saints shirt this afternoon, put it on about an hour before the match.

The Saints mankini hasn’t been so lucky recently so I’ll avoid that one today…

I’m going to take with me a copy of my lucky picture of a cow’s arse and a banjo.

I’ll drop it off at reception and request that it is mentioned in the pre-match briefing.

It’s mad isn’t it … you don’t really notice just how important he is until he’s not there

You got it back from Heskey then.
