      Supporters set off fireworks outside of the visitors’ hotel during the early hours of Saturday morning while they were still sleeping, hoping Nathan Jones’ men wouldn’t be fresh enough.
      But it didn’t have the desired effect as Southampton went on to win 2-1 thanks to a brace by James Ward-Prowse that cancelled out Amadou Onana’s opener.
      Saints’ social media team decided to add some more salt to Everton’s wounds with a brutal review for their hotel on Tripadvisor.
      The St Mary’s outfit said they had the “best night’s sleep ever” and praised the triple glazing that they claimed was so good they wouldn’t even be able to hear rockets.

      Southampton’s review was titled: “Great trip and best night’s sleep ever!”
      The cheeky feedback then read: “We can’t say enough positive things about the Innside By Melia Liverpool!
      “Had an important business trip to attend in the city and they were perfect hosts.
      “The hotel ensured we were looked after and well-rested for our meeting, which was an extremely productive one.

      “Rooms were brilliant, beds were incredibly comfy, and the blackout blinds and triple glazing… oh wow!
      “You could literally have a firework display going on outside your window and you’d never know it. Best night’s sleep we’ve ever had!
      “In fact, the only rocket we noticed all weekend was the one James Ward-Prowse sent into the net in the 78th minute at Goodison. We’ll definitely be returning again.”
      This is not the first time Southampton have a bit of fan with Tripadvisor as they did the same thing in 2018.
      Saints left a one star review for the Marriott Hotel in Swansea after their booking was bizarrely cancelled.
      They were notified 24 hours before that the 40 rooms they reserved for the night were not available to big groups, despite being open to other guests.
      Instead the South Coast club, who were fuming, had to stay at the plush Vale of Glamorgan Hotel outside Cardiff, which is where the Wales football and rugby teams werehoused during international breaks. More

      Reporter Juliette Ferrington said that the chief executive was subjected to “misogynist, sexist and threatening language used against her”.
      However, the Liverpool Echo has reported that she was put in a headlock.

      The loss left the Toffees in the relegation zone on goal difference.
      Chairman Bill Kenwright, chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale, chief finance and strategy officer Grant Ingles and non-executive director Graeme Sharp are said to have “reluctantly accepted” and will not be at the game today.
      The advice came after the club is said to have received “unacceptably threatening correspondence”.

      A statement from the advisor said: “Following a thorough risk assessment, and in response to tangible threats received by the Club and intelligence we have gathered.
      “The Club’s Board members have been told they must not attend today’s fixture.”
      The club released the following statement in response: “This is an unprecedented decision for Everton Football Club.
      “Never before has our entire Board of Directors been ordered not to attend a match on safety grounds.
      “It is a profoundly sad day for Everton and Evertonians.”
      Manager Frank Lampard’s side are only three points off the bottom of the table.
      If they lose to Southampton today, they could find themselves even closer to the basement position.

      According to the Daily Mail, Everton have ‘firmed up’ their offer for the Manchester United player looking to bring in him on an initial loan deal.
      In order to complete the deal however, the Toffee’s will need to let go of some of their current roster with Abdoulaye Doucoure, Michael Keane and Mason Holgate just some of the names who look to be on their way out.
      Elanga made his competitive debut for the Red Devils in May 2021 under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and has since registered 47 appearances for the side.

      Yet it was under Ralf Rangnick where the 20-year-old had his most impressive spell, becoming a regular in the team
      Since the arrival of Erik Ten Haag however, the Swede has fallen back down the pecking order.
      With the emergence of teammate Alejandro Garnacho, Elanga has only managed to find his way into the starting 11 just five times this season.
      Despite the interest from Everton, it is understood that there are some other Premier League teams who are keen to pursue the young winger.

      Even with their new look forward line-up, Everton have only managed to find the net 14 times in the league this season, the third lowest of all 20 teams.

      But he has struggled for form in front of goal in Ligue 1 this season, with zero goals in ten games.
      Despite that, Frank Lampard is seriously considering a move for Weah, according to L’Equipe.
      There are several clubs linked with the 22-year-old, who missed the early part of the season with a foot injury.
      L’Equipe’s report suggests there could be a Premier League transfer battle with Fulham and Brighton also monitoring Weah’s situation.

      LaLiga outfit Sevilla are also taking a look at the forward who could reportedly cost around £13.25million.
      Weah began his career at Paris Saint-Germain but failed to make an appearance for the club after progressing through the youth ranks.
      He enjoyed a loan spell at Celtic scoring four goals in 18 appearances but he has never been prolific in front of goal.
      In fact, Weah has scored only eight goals in 85 games for Lille, though he often operates as a winger for the French side.

      They are now reportedly one of a number of teams in for Danjuma, according to the Mail.
      The 25-year-old has improved since leaving the Vitality after failing to score a single goal in 14 Premier league appearances three seasons ago.
      The winger is now thriving at Villarreal and proving to be a regular threat.
      He netted 16 goals in 34 appearances in La Liga and the Champions League last season.

      Danjuma could be the perfect antidote for Everton who have lacked threat going forward.
      Only Nottingham Forest and Wolves have scored fewer goals in the Premier League than the Toffees.
      But they are one of a few teams who could pounce for the Villarreal man this month.
      GiveMeSport report that the attacker is Unai Emery’s “top choice” to bring to Aston Villa.

      West Ham have also been strongly linked to the attacker.
      The Hammers find themselves fourth-bottom and struggling for form this season and were believed to be interested in Danjuma during the summer.

      The Toffees are at a low point in their Premier League history, languishing third from bottom as the clubs approach the halfway stage.
      But that has not put off a series of candidates who would be willing to throw their hat in the ring if   the club’s board decide to pull the trigger on struggling Lampard.
      I understand Dyche, 51, is keen on the Goodison post and the former Burnley chief has the Premier League survival experience they need.
      Free-agent Dyche has been waiting for a top-flight return and has snubbed many Championship offers.

      Everton duo James Tarkowski and Dwight McNeil are two of his old Burnley favourites and that could help the ‘Ginger Mourinho’ settle in should the chance arise.
      Toffees idol Rooney, 37, would also jump if the call came despite returning to the US to prepare for a new MLS season with DC United.
      Ex-Everton No 2 Ferguson, 51, is also willing to re-enlist after a couple of caretaker spells although he would be a long shot.
      Goodison insiders claim Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou is admired but the club may face a job persuading him to come to England with the Bhoys runaway leaders of the Scottish Premiership.

      Meanwhile, West Ham chief Moyes is loved by chairman Bill Kenwright, who brought him to Merseyside more than 20 years ago.
      Moyes, 59, would cost around £5million in compensation to free him from the London Stadium — but Everton could well consider that money well spent.
      The Scot still thinks fondly of his time at Goodison where he first coined the ‘People’s Club’ phrase. He only rents in London and a move to the north west would work for him. More

      With only three wins and three draws in 18 games, Southampton only have 12 points to show as we approach the halfway point of the season.
      The Saint’s are looking to strengthen up their back line after only keeping one clean sheet this season, the least of any of the 20 teams in the league.
      Michael Keane has emerged as a favourite for the seaside club with the England defender struggling for game time at Everton, playing only 22 minutes in the league this season.
      The leadership qualities as well as the experience of Keane has made Southampton eager to complete the move.

      The 29-year-old is contracted to Everton until 2025, however the club are happy to accept a permanent offer for Keane after rejecting a loan deal beforehand.
      Keane made the move from Burnley to Merseyside in 2017 for £25million.
      He has amassed 189 appearances for Everton as far as well as earning 12 caps for England during his tenure at The Toffees.
      Since 2017 Keane as been a regular in the Everton defence, yet the additions of Conor Coady and James Tarkowski last summer has seen the former Manchester United player jousted out the side.

      However with Frank Lampard’s side struggling in 18th, a move for Keane will see Everton improving their relegation rivals with only three points separating the teams.
      The two sides will come face to face on January 14th, after Everton edged out the first fixture 2-1 in October.
      It is unclear what colours Keane will be sporting when they meet again in just over a week yet the Saints will be battling to make sure it’s red and white. More
