Everton vs. Southampton 2/22/03 [R]

[rymannryan]

Should be a great game. Finally get to see Everton on FSW!!! Its at Goodison, its a lunch time kick-off. Its showing on FSW at 3 p.m. EST. Anyone want to do the PBP? I'd do it but I'd like to wait until the afternoon to do it, so I can watch the match not knowing the score.

It will also be interesting to see who Moyes starts.

Preview Package.

BTW, this is the first game of the season that David Moyes will have his full squad to choose from. Though a few players lack the match fitness ala Dunc and Rodrigo, this is still the best situation he's had all season.

won't mean much if we don't take maximum points from the match. If we do what we've been doing we should come out ahead in the end. I say we have 1 of these possible scorelines.

1-0
2-1
3-1

After a another Lack luster first half wich we give another first half goal away we come out in the second and dominate the Match. With Mcbride tsken out for Campbell and Naysith out for Rooney Southampton finally give under the pressure with two second half goals by Rads. One in the 90th Min ala ManU style to seal the win.

Well played.

Just finished watching the broadcast on Fox Sports World...I purposely didn't come here until now so I wouldn't find out.

What a great finish, and no less then they deserved. When teams win games like this, you have to think they're destined for great things.

Forget UEFA Cup, I'm talking about the Champions League!

It looked like they were using McBride as a target a lot. Southampton defended him pretty well, though.

Radzinski was a bloody god last night... what a performance!

I woke up the family I was celebrating so loudly when he rocketed that winner.

The moves that got us the win were easily putting Rooney and Gravesen on. Tommy looked a bit rusty, but he gave us that creativity in midfield.. and Roonaldo was simply sensational, and the cross for the 1st goal was brilliant.

Niemi was unbelievable and it needed something out of this world to win us the game.. enter Tomasz Radddzzzziiiinnnsskkkiiiii!!!!!

And finally, someone needs to teach Naysmith and Li Tie how to pass god dammit, and Wright only made 1 mistake!.. woohoo

CHELSEA LOST TOO.. LETS HOPE THOSE RED LOSERS LOSE 2NITE, IT WILL MAKE IT A PERFECT WEEKEND

Radzinski!!!!!!!!!

What a game! The first half wasn't too good but the substitutes in the second half were masterstrokes by Moyes. I almost injured myself when Radzinski hammered home the winner in the 94th minute. Radzinski was easily the Man of the Match IMO, but Rooney did add some much needed energy. Everton should walk away very happy from this one.

Most of them were on Mcbride and will he start, but one thing Moyes is about, is to be consistant and if it works he will stick with it.Mcbride Works and that has been seen with 4 goals. Moyes will ride Mcbride till it stops working. Not to mention that with Mcbride in injuries to Campbell amd Rooney will be lessened with them on the bench. I expect him to start for the rest of his stay, and seeing Campbell and Rooney comming in off the bench.

You can defenately see in the style of Moyes and Everton chamge from previous managers. They clase down on the ball so much more, and even in the offence end of the pitch.Not giving Southamptons defence much time with the ball, fourcing them into mistakes.Even that emotion on the bench he has. Moyes's reaction after Rads Equalised and went ahead, I thought he was going to do one of those head-first slides. You can see why the players love to play for this Guy.

Next up we've got our bogey team in Boro...
Can't say I expect more than a point with this one...even though we're firing on all cylinders, Boro got a victory yesterday as well...

possible scorelines for Boro

0-1
1-1
2-1

i'm extremely happy to say i had the privilege of going to this game...it was absolutely beautiful.

i think we got nothing short of what we deserved. we edged the first half, tho their goal took the wind outta our sails a lil bit. no matter tho, we weathered the storm til half time then came out blazing.

it was pure pressure there towards the end of the game and the release from the crowd when we equalised was brilliant - you could feel it. then when the winner flew in...just out-of-this-world. i can still remember the Everton 4 Ever chants like i was there...the section of the crowd where i was stayed for what seemed like ages just singing.

the 2nd half substitutions made all the difference for me. as much as i like mcbride, we looked an awful lot better when we was replaced with campbell; later aided by rooney.
