Have to win at one of these places sometime.

In my mid 40s and hoping to see it before retirement.

Will your boss let you work till you are 90 and would you want to ??

You never know, the pension age keeps increasing

The thing is do I want to waste another £7.99 to watch it on the laptop? Yep, I do!

 

[St James the Less]

Early train home? Hope not! 0-1 Richie Rich.

Don't fancy us to get anything in this one. Could be backs to the wall stuff.
However, if my boy Richarlson continues his form we could get something. I'll go 1-1.

 

[LostLegend]

I'm bizarrely optimistic about this one.

Richarlison returns & I think maybe playing away to a good team (along with a kick up the arse from the manager after the West Ham dross) might spur the lads to put a performance in.

Just not another repeat of last season please!

That wording should be copyrighted for use by Evertonians only.

I hope you're right.

Any optimism I've had in recent times has indeed proved to be bizarre, after the fact.

Never get anything at their place, would be made up to get out with a draw

 

[havrey0123]

Need to go 4-5-1 with richarlison up top on his own, defensive set up hoping to get them on the counter.
But knowing Silva he will go gung ho and hope that arsenal cave in.

Were either going to win 4-0 or lose 4-0.

 

[evertonarntwe]

we'll win or get battered, no inbetween

the way we've been defending against pub teams though I wanna say it's not looking great

 

[toffeejack]

Think it's the right game for us. Nothing to lose really, we've played better away than at home so far, so here's hoping.

 

[Steve0]

We're getting battered.

Just go 5-2-3, pack the area and play Richarlison, Bernard and Walcott up front and try to hit them on the break. We'll still get battered.

Should beat Fulham though...right?

 

[deipnosophist]

4-1 to the "I'm tired, Robbie" brigade

Just googled the last time we won away there, and it was 20th Jan, 1996 with Graham Stuart and Kanchelskis on the score sheet.

And strangely enough, pretty abysmal until you get into the mid 70's, just as you were being born (as is the case with me too). The blame must therefore squarely fall on our shoulders. Only when we shuffle off the mortal plane will the boys start winning down there. Which again, given how retirement is going, may well be the same day we pop our clogs.

Having said all that. Everton to win 3-1, so just need to stick 999 on speed dial in anticipation.
