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.Discount NHL Jerseys . Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned?

Brazilian national coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has confirmed that the veteran goalkeeper is set to join Toronto on loan, saying it will help him be ready for the World Cup.CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- JaQuan Newton shook off his first half shooting woes and helped lead Miami to another early-season win.Newton scored 16 of his game-high 18 points in the second half as the Hurricanes defeated Penn, 74-62, on Saturday afternoon.My approach was the same way as the first half, Newton said. Unfortunately, I wasnt making any shots in the first half. I just wanted to take better shots in the second half, open shots to get me going.After shooting 1 of 8 from the field in the first half, Newton converted five of his eight attempts and five-of-six free throws in the second half.The Hurricanes (3-0) were never threatened after a 16-3 run midway through the second half. Consecutive 3-pointers from D.J. Valsijevic and Bruce Brown capped the surge and increased Miamis lead to 59-38 with 10:28 remaining in the half.That was definitely the tale of two halves, Miami coach Jim Larranaga said. In the first half we were challenging the defense rather than attacking and sharing the ball. I tried to explain to the team at halftime we werent finding the open man.Brown finished with 15 points and Davon Reed, Valsijevic and Dewan Huell scored 11 points each for the Hurricanes, who experienced their first deficit of the season when the Quakers ran off eight unanswered points for an 8-4 lead early in the game. Miami opened the season with lopsided victories over Western Carolina and North Florida.It was good for us, Larranaga said of Penns early lead. It was a good challenge -- a very different kind of team. You can see how they move on offense. They really share the ball.Playing a team like that is very different than playing the teams weve played so far and even some of the teams were going to play a little later on in the season.A.J. Brodeur scored 16 points to lead the Quakers (1-1). Caleb Wood shot 4-of-5 from the field and was Pennns second double figure scorer with 11 points.dddddddddddd.I liked how we competed, particularly in the first half, Penn coach Steve Donahue said. We got very casual during that stretch with the ball that they made that big run put it up by 20. But besides that I thought we competed.STARTER SIDELINED: Miami sophomore center Ebuka Izundu sat out Saturdays game because of a sprain to his lower left extremity he suffered in Miamis victory over North Florida on Wednesday.
