eared to play, Lemanis said.We thought that we would get something overnight, but it didnt come. Thats just not a process that we can con

Its been an up-and-down first season at the helm of Southampton for manager Claude Puel.The former Ligue 1 boss, who guided Nice to a Champions League berth last season, has come to realise how challenging it can be to achieve consistent results in the Premier League. After failing to win any of their four opening fixtures, the Saints rallied with two consecutive clean-sheet victories, which spurred a five-match unbeaten run from mid-September through mid-October.But Southampton (3-5-4) again find themselves searching for form as they head into Sundays home date with Everton winless in four across all competitions.The Saints followed losses to Chelsea and Hull City with an admirable scoreless draw with Liverpool and Thursdays 1-0 setback against Sparta Prague in Europa League play.Southampton carried the play for stretches against Liverpool and created some quality chances but were never really close to getting one in.Midweek Europa trips are always difficult, and Thursday was no exception for the Saints, who gave a valiant effort in Prague but were done in by an 11th-minute strike from Costa Nhamoinesu.Southampton were missing two key pieces against the Czech side as Dusan Tadic and Jose Fonte were both unavailable. Puel has hope that at least one of the two will be available Sunday. Fonte missed Thursday with a foot issue, while Tadic is recovering from a broken nose.Tadic we are going to see if he can train, said Puel. Normally I think that it is not possible, because his injury was a bad injury and its a problem for us. Jose we will see this afternoon if he can participate on Sunday.Jose I believe can play, but Dusan no. Now hes two weeks without a training session and at the moment it is difficult for him.Everton (5-4-3) will also be looking to get back to their winning ways as Ronald Koemans lads come into this match after a 5-0 thrashing by Chelsea and last weeks last-gasp 1-1 draw with Swansea City at Goodison Park.Everton may have the advantage on Sunday, considering Koeman managed the Saints for two seasons before making the move to Merseyside this summer.I worked two seasons with them, Koeman said. They have brought in new players this summer but it is not difficult to analyse Southampton because I know the players, their strengths and weaknesses. I hope it all helps because that will make it positive to try and get a result. But everyone knows its about the decisions the players make inside the white lines.During his tenure on the south coast, Koeman recruited six of the 11 players that started against Liverpool, including goalkeeper Fraser Forster, striker Charlie Austin and defender Ryan BertrandIt will be special because we had two seasons at Southampton but I am now the Everton manager, added Koeman. We will do everything to win the game. They need a win, we need a win and that makes it really interesting for this Sunday.Everton won 3-0 on their last league visit to St. Marys -- their biggest away win over Southampton since October 1987 (4-0).Toffees striker Romelu Lukaku has scored three and assisted one in four Premier League appearances at St. Marys, including a brace for the Everton in this exact fixture last season. Lukaku has scored in just four of his last 17 appearances away from Goodison Park in the Premier League.

Adidas Nmd r1 Australia . Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. Adidas Nmd r1 Primeknit Australia . Inter president Erick Thohir says in a club statement on Wednesday that Vidic is "one of the worlds best defenders and his qualities, international pedigree, and charisma will be an asset. Matthew Dellavedovas Olympic Games preparations have taken a hit after the NBA star was forced to sit out of Tuesday nights match between the Australian Boomers and the Pac-12 All-Stars in Melbourne.After becoming the fourth Australian in three years to win the NBA Championship last month, Dellavedova put his signature to a $38 million contract that would see him depart his championship-winning Cleveland Cavaliers for the Milwaukee Bucks.However, the Victorian native is still awaiting his insurance to be processed by the NBA and as a result had to watch on as the Boomers grinded out a nine-point win at Hisense Arena.Without insurance, if he played and was injured, his medical expenses and rehabilitation would not be covered by the NBA.Speaking after the match, Boomers coach Andrej Lemanis said he was frustrated by Dellavedovas forced omission, insisting it was out of his control.Yeah its one of those things. From our point of view, we found out last Friday so we were hoping that he would be cleared to play, Lemanis said.We thought that we would get something overnight, but it didnt come. Thats just not a process that we can control.Its unfortunate, it is what it is, well move on and hopefully hell be ready on Thursday.The Boomers and Pac-12 All-Stars again lock horns on Thursday night for their second and final match.Boomers believe they can win goldDellavedovas interrupted Olympic preparation has seen himm travel between Australia and the United States three times in 10 days.dddddddddddd?After arriving in Melbourne early last week, Dellavedova was forced to leave the Boomers camp to fly back to Milwaukee for a medical before his transfer could be completed. He then returned to Melbourne days later to re-join the squad, which has now been reduced to 12.San Antonio Spurs guard Patty Mills, who impressed with his sublime vision and three-point shooting against the Pac-12 All-Stars, said he couldnt wait to line-up alongside his NBA colleague.I think when all of us get out onto the court it will be great, but Delly especially - who has not been able to hit out for this training camp, so far, Mills said.Hes one of those guys that can slide in there as if hes been around the whole time. Hes such a smart point guard. For me Im looking forward to playing with him and in the past weve played really well together.[Im] excited to get out there and wear the green and gold - we dont get a chance that often to do it so its a great opportunity for us.With game two of the farewell series scheduled for Thursday, theres still no guarantee that Dellavedova will take to the court. He may be forced to wait until the Boomers five additional Olympic warm-up matches later in the month in South America.
