I agree with the formation and the lineup. Redmond has not earned a starting place these last few matches. Will Tadic be fit; thought l read he may not.
I have worked out how we are going to score today: BBC quote "The Toffees have scored a total of three own goals in their last three games away to Southampton". Bring it on!
That could be utter bollocks. We know nothing about him lying, the club lying or anything. People assumed a lot of stuff and to be fair, this forum is for expressing opinions so whilst I respect your view, I dont agree with it. I dont believe our club is as white as is often made out, I still believe we called his bluff (his bluff being more money for transfers), and if true (which I accept others may not share) kind of realises the **** transfer window(s) we get. With Kat selling(and has been for a couple of years), it is obvious to me what was going on with not wanting to put in over the top (which I understand and would also do). So, all in all, I like Ronald and wish him the best of luck apart from in our games.
Read on Twitter that someone who spoke with Tadic said, the reason he didn't play with or without mask was that his nose wouldn't stop bleeding.......but is hopeful of being ok for the Palace game.
I still think we should have let Ronald see out the last year of his contract, we would have had a year to line someone up and he would have done his best for us. Still we will never know, I bear him no ill at all.
Seems all the people on the Facebook page think our predicament is down to Boufal "being the next Osvaldo" or my favourite "looking like another Ali Dia". At least they've given the lad a chance eh!!!?
Hopefully we will be 2-0 up at half time and can give RK some good natured but utterly deafening abuse, of the sort we once gave to Glen Hoddle. Those who wish to politely support their team while respecting the opposition can do so if they wish. I won't be doing that, it's football ffs, let's make some noise. No one is going to get killed, but with any luck someone - Ron - is going to get thoroughly chastised. But to do that we have to win. Abusing Ron when - god forbid - his team is in front would be no fun at all. I'm still not overly worried about where the goals will come from. Claude will sort it out; I actually do think he's a better manager than Koeman.
Pretty sure tadic wont be playing today.big loss. Still have this feeling we are going to take the points today tho
I suspect that the fans may be enquiring of Mr Ronald Koeman, who he is. And probably using a little ditty sung to enquire the same of Mr Pochettino. Rather childish but then it is nearly Panto season. Personally, I wish that if these songs have to be sung, I would rather they were at the end of the match assuming that we had beaten Everton/Spurs. It rather loses the impact if we lose.
Apologies for sounding harsh but that's Jay's fault or at least his failure to recover & rediscover form. We waited last year & we're doing same again. I feel very sorry for him but I really believe that's why we haven't invested in an additional striker & that's hurt us big time. Imagine what impact another fit striker could have given us last year? 3 extra points? And this year ......
Match day!! Rough night with the lad so only jus woken up but woken up feeling positive! Think he knows we're playing as he keeps telling me 'suser Saints go marching in' Nervy 1-0. Austin
Used to be a rough night with the lads, but we all get older. Keep him singing, and get ready with a dummy if he starts whistling the Z cars theme!
