The Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Everton

2,080 Comments
Share

Saturday’s events get underway with a clash between Southampton and Everton at St Mary’s this lunchtime. Both sides are looking for a first win of the new campaign after registering 2-2 draws with Newcastle and Watford last weekend.

The Saints proved a reliable source of defensive returns at home last year, chalking up 11 clean sheets in front of their own fans and conceding a mere 13 times – only Chelsea (nine) proved more miserly.

After netting twice at St James’ Park last week, they’ll be looking to take advantage of a Toffees backline devoid of the injured Leighton Baines. Certainly, given that the visitors managed just two clean sheets on their travels last season, those backing the Saints at both ends of the pitch will fancy their chances of getting amongst the points.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Can anyone help me in this discussion:
    A so called Manchester United fan thinks Mata has to be left out of the squad, what game did he watch huh?

        Maybe to fill up the bench he said,
        He also thinks Rooney is way better than Benzema
        I don't think he has watched any football in the past 3 years or so

      Maybe the same one I did where Mata gave away the ball on numerous occasions...

      I don't think he needs to be left out at all though, CAM is where he should be. He's a wonderful player if used properly.

      Mata still the only consistent source of creativity. Wonder what'll happen if utd buy Pedro though. Mata is not fast enough to be out on the wing..

        Mate should be the number 10, Januzaj should be up front, herrera should be in the middle, depay should be on the wing. Mata's passing was sublime I thought for the januzaj goal and depay chance.

        I totally agree
        But he's quite an idiot to talk with about football
        In pre season he was shocked Young started ahead of ADM, he didn't even travel with the squad 😀
        He also thinks Chelsea parks the bus every game and ManU deserved the title last year
