Match Thread Everton v Brentford. Preview, Match Report and MotM poll

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

Enormous match. As others have said it is perhaps the biggest match in our club’s illustrious history.

Because of the difficult season we’ve have our players are emotionally fragile and so they seem to struggle to perform when they’ve not got 39,000 blues behind them.

If the crowd is up for it we will win and we will stay up.

As Frank said the other day: when the crowd and the players are as one we can achieve anything, even a victory over the European champions.

Anyone know how many they are bringing - yet again GP must be like a furnace without any let up, like against Chelsea and away to Leicester.

I'll boot this gremlin to next week if we don't beat Brentford

Zouma! You're still a blue!

 

[bring back the catt]

toff will we do it mate? will we do enough to stay up, and i can leave you all alone lol

Keep shining through @matty1878, we will be starting in the Premier for our opening game of the 22/23 season.
Most of us have been a wreck these far far too many weeks, it's just you have had the courage to express it. A TRUE BLUE.
UTFT!

Today’s going to be torturous waiting for tomorrow.

I've just had to share this my Blue friends.
Got to work at 8:55 to be greeted by a charming old man who asked me,
"Are you ready for the big game today?"
Fortunately, I'm wearing my Everton tie so I flashed him the club crest and replied,
"No! But I'm ready for the big game tomorrow!"
Nuff said!
COYB!!!!

Got to admire what Brentford have done this season. For a club of their size what theyve done is near miraculous. But they’re safe.

3 points for us.

Leeds play before us so we may only need a point to guarantee safety - if they get beat by Brighton

 

[strummer]

I'll be very surprised if he changes the system.he doesn't trust us to have a back 4 and neither do I. Delph being fit would be a massive boost and if we could get dcl anywhere near his best he'd make a difference. 90 minutes of agonising stress coming up

 

[Pabbers]

Tough game this, but they wont sit back. We do struggle against the teams that sit back, so i think we see a few goals in this one.

0-0

It's not miraculous because they are well run, that's all. And they took a calculated gamble on Eriksen to get them out of any trouble. They have a good coach who is adaptable with his tactics.

They may well struggle next season but they have been well run, and have used numbers and data to underline their signings, for years now, which is why they got promoted in the first place.

Tomorrow marks the 37th anniversary of our ECWC triumph against Rapid Vienna.
I wonder if the club have anything planned to mark the occasion and help the atmosphere even more.
Perhaps a selection of players from the 85 team parading around Goodison with the replica cup 5 minutes before the end of half time,with the highlights of the game on the big screens,would get the crowd going crazy just before the teams emerge for the second half.
Then again, I would be in tears as well.

Here we go,here we go,here we go…Everton is the best we all know…

Another song for the Goodison set list tomorrow.

Need to man mark erikson

I'd start similar to Watford but with dcl up top and richy on the left. Gordon can take a breather for a bit . We have had a busy schedule.
