Everton 0-0 Southampton

Everton played the former Championship club Southampton Monday, with a rather disappointing result.  Most of the Blue's fans anticipated a win, however, the actual performance saw a less than confidence Nikica Jelavic leave the field for Kevin Mirallas.  The Belgium striker and Greek Super League top scorer in the 2011-2012 season threatened the goal several times, and almost scored with a vicious volley attempt.  Victor Anichebe tested Boruc on more than one occasion, while Tim Howard did well to keep Rickie Lambert from scoring.
While it was unexpected, the draw does have several good points.....Kevin Mirallas may very well be back in action, which can mean the difference between the Champion's League and the Europa League.  Victor Anichebe may very well start next game as well, in place of the Croatian striker Nikica Jelavic.  COYB!
