Difficult to see where we are tbh . Are we still " ill take 1-1" . Or are going for the win .

I've a sneaky feeling it's a back to reality game sadly .

Well out of the two sides we are the form team and I'm sure we'll give it a good go. We can't win every game, but I think we can win this one.

Think we will come back down to earth in this one................but then and go and do Brentford away.............Just me.........we never have nice things that last.

The only thing giving me any hope is we have a decent front to back set up and can counter. The problem is Doucore is basically assured to start. I can see our attacks breaking down. Also, we played 3 games last week and our backline looked pretty darn ragged against Palace. They got the job done, but they were clearly a bit fatigued. Will we show up for this one? Maybe Charly gets us going again and we squeak it out. Let's hope.

The Palace game was apparently a back-to-reality game. We'll have had almost a full week off to prepare for this one. I'm hoping for an aggressive performance, pushing and pulling and roughing then up into submission.

They are struggling and Everton have and always will be the team that keeps on giving so I think we know where this one is going!

He waits. That’s what he does. And I’ll tell you what. Tick followed tock followed tick followed tock followed tick. Ahab says, ‘I don’t care who you are, here’s to your dream.’ The old sailors returned to the bar. ‘Here’s to you, Ahab!’ And the fat drummer hits the beat with all his heart.

Here’s to waiting.

Got no idea what that was about, but it was a good read. Short, but good.

 

[Jeff Jones]

they do but if we can nullify they’re attack

we have a chance

Matty, why did you go to trouble of typing 'they're', when it would've been a tiny bit easier to type 'their', and you'd have got it right.

It’s about Guinness I think

First game under Moyes where I can feel expectations are rising. Yes they're a mess but 6 weeks ago (and that's all it is), I doubt we'd have gone into this expecting to win.

Historically we are not good when there is expectation, albeit we can hopefully play without the immediate pressure of relegation hanging over our heads which it has, consistently, for a number of years.

Reckon we can go again and do these East Lancs rotters.
Plenty in the tank thanks to Dyches fitness regime.

As well as removing the stupid "no snoods" at training rule, he has also done away with "everton that" and replaced it with "UTFT!"

No, it'll be back the next time we lose.

Man has made some good speeches in his time my son.

“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”

God bless.

P.S 4-1 to the mighty blues

One of my all time favourite films. As long as it’s the ‘Director’s Cut‘.

Similarly to the derby if we get at them we can win, if we let them play around us, we might struggle.
