Match Thread Brentford 1-1 Everton. Wednesday Feb 26th. 7.30pm

[hktoffee]

I think we will win 1-0. Beto.

 

[Timbucktoo]

we definitely need to freshen things up, otherwise it's a game too much for some of these players

A lot of people talking about how tired the players are and how they could do with a rest, but its not like they`re being asked to play weekend and midweek non stop. In know players will pick up knocks and strains, but you can do that playing once a month. How the heck did the players back in the day get through a season playing most games with the same starting XI?
With Brentford being at home I think they`ll come at us and if we are tuned in at the back it will be down to us to catch them on the brake and give Beto the couple of chance he needs to to slot one home. Think this will end a draw.

Probably "due" a defeat. It's been a big period for the players and they've delivered. Could do with this game coming next Saturday and not on Wednesday.

It would be great to keep the run going though. Points are hard gained as we know all too well. A draw would be fine.

Concerned about this being one game too many after the huge effort they have put in but 10 days off after this so hoping we have got another big effort in us before they can put their feet up for a few days

 

[blue to the bone]

Not much interest in this game

Wissa and Mbeumo look the business for these. I saw an interview with them on Saturday where it looked like they're best friends off the pitch, too. Its always good to have that sort of bond when you play together. It'll be a tough job to keep them quiet for 90 minutes. That said, we're in form ourselves so there will be aspects of our game they won't be looking forward to as well. I can see another entertaining draw on the cards when I really think about it.

 

[edge]

it will be a hard game this just get something out of it.

And a yellow to Young for diving

And a penalty for Liverpool

 

[evertony]

Winning this 1-2.
Tim and Norberto with the goals.

 

[NathDogg]

Take any kind of result away to them, would love to beat them though.

Need changes for the starting 11, Tim and Charly to come in and defo need some minutes for Dixon and Sherif please Davey.

 

[maccavennie]

Tough game and possibly one game too many for a very depleted squad.

Be great to get a positive result though. When was the last time we won 3 away games on the spin?

When we won 4 just before xmas 2023. We've done ok here the last few times. Won there last year and drew the game the year earlier, conceding to a late goal

 

[Ring master]

I am hoping with their total odd turnaround in Home & Away form. That we have that chance. Going from none stop winning at home, to now they cant since early December. While they cant stop winning away.

Much needed break coming up after this game. Just two games in 35 days before the Anfield derby in early April.

 

[knowing your history]

Have a good record against them since August 2022. Dyche never lost to them anyway....Mind you the home game was awful and showed the limitations of his managerial style and why he needed to go.

Score draw.
