Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Everton

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

    It has been a tough start maybe the worst ever but maybe it's a blessing in disguise as people will panic and take hits aplenty and bring in the wrong players while some of us will keep calm and wait the storm to pass.

      Assuming it passes...problem is we are playing a game of probability and often probability shows us two fingers. I would not have it any other way.

    Time to ditch Tadic

    1. Trigg ⭐️
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Bullet dodged, there.

      Shame I got hit by another 15.

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Time Tadić him

  17. Trigg ⭐️
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    I think a little patience might be rewarded in GW3.

    Good fixtures for United, Southampton at least.

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      That's what I'm worried about, should I keep Tadic and Rooney one more week?

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I'm 100% keeping Roo, Depay and Mane, put it that way.

        I knew Roo and Mane would require a little patience.

        1. Root
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          LOL @ keeping Rooney.

          No way.

          1. Trigg ⭐️
            • 11 Years

        • 10 Years

        Definitely not Rooney.

    2. Thick Of It
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I am keeping Roo, only thing is I will have to transfer if he looks like dropping as I only have 0.5 itb to get Costa

      I think I will keep Rooney but will ditch Tadic maybe, unsure, depends on how my remaining players go too I suppose.

  20. Venom Snake
    • 10 Years

  21. Norb
    • 10 Years

    They should probably have started with 3 mids..

  22. SW6
    • 11 Years

    There's been some very impressive patterns mown into the pitches this season.

  23. Heydudes13

    Tadic CS locked in

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      He didn't play 60 did he

      1. RoyaleBlue
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Nor did tadic have a clean sheet

        1. Fifa las vegas
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Didn't keep a CS, either.

  24. Your Mum's Athletic

    Let's show a bit of faith, come on Cedric/Mane/Pelle owners, 45 minutes and everything back to normal, COME ON

  25. Rossamous
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Missed early cross, and then another by Tadic, and the camera turned straight to Koeman, who looked down in disgust. He hates the wastefulness of Tadic

    1. The Light Knight
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Koeman really is LVG junior. Both much prefer sterile possession over risk taking

  26. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Ilner is going to have a massive impact on Leceister. Quality player they signed. They could have a good season with the squad they have.

    1. ktk_interista

    At least Cedric wasn't taken off at half-time.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge

      He was still my top scorer last week! 😀

    A Mane hatrick may make me feel slightly better

    1. Kanu Feel It

      that was quick but not Mitrovic quick...
