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

    I have 2 FT, is it worth using them and then wildcarding the week after? Or just wildcarding now?

      Depends how bad your team is. Really, almost everyone will want Sanchez and Aguero within the next 3 weeks, you should be able to get these without needing new to wild card.

      Personally, I would wait a little longer to find out where the decent budget options are and who will be the mid table teams (I.e will Southampton, swans, Stoke, Palace etc be the best of the rest) to establish who gives you the chance to get them in.

      The results so far have been pretty unpredictable to be honest, I bet there isn't slot of correct score winning bets on this game for example!

    I's almost rather Everton had tough games than easy ones. They're the type of team that performs better against the big teams than against the bottom-half ones.

      I don't think the EL is a factor for Southampton yet - West Ham played more ties pre-season and went to Arsenal and won.

      No excuse for Koeman, just a poor display.

      Everton mighty impressive though, food for thought for those rushing Aguero in for GW3, perhaps.
