Match Thread Everton 0-0 Brentford, Saturday 23rd November, 3pm

[Toffe3m4n]

Absolutely huge that we win this today given our festive schedule..

 

[Vintage]

Anything less than a win will be very disappointing but not surprising and a draw isn't much good

Gusty winds & 40% chance of rain at kick -off time bring a coat

Sean Dyche likes this.

 

[God Benfrey]

Can see this going like the west hame game at home last year where we look good and take the lead and then somehow lose 3-1 because we're actually crap

 

[Khalekan]

This really is a crunch match.

Looking at our December schedule I think that anything less than three points will see us in the bottom three going into the New Year.

 

[Bez2k2k]

3-0 us. Early goal from Dom. Tarky header and N’diaye.

DCL doesn't deserve to start this game

After today the easiest game on paper by a mile in the next month is Wolves at home and they've been a real bogey team in last four years. I can't see how Dyche could possibly survive not winning today and then losing at home to Wolves personally.

Yes takeover not 100% until early Jan but surely the new owners have to step in otherwise you run the risk of things spiralling out of control like under Lampard and FSW.

I had a dream we won 3 nil.

Obviously this is pretty unrealistic so I'm going for 5 nil to us

 

[BlueShark]

I'm hoping the bad conditions will drag Brentford down to the same level of crap as us. Gives us a 50/50 chance then.

Any news on Broja?

 

[Street end man]

Come on Sean, this is Brentford we are playing. At Goodison with a full house behind the team. Go for the 3 points from the off, show no respect and just start and end the game on the front foot. Do that and you'll be higher thought of than sitting back for 90 minutes hoping to nick a point.

The longer we leave it, the more a fire fighting manager is likely and I'm sick to death of them.
Want us to try and build something

The tough fixture run should be used to help implement new ideas of a manager with ideas

 

[Timbucktoo]

Any news on Broja?

I think the latest is he`s less injured than he was when we loaned him, but not fit enough to actually be any use to us on the pitch.

Must win today , will probably end up like Fulham game, start off sh**e, sit back go one down , restless crowd then scramble an equaliser late in second half. Go on Dyche, prove me wrong
