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

[Brett Angell Delight]

Gomes was fine against Brentford in the cup, let’s hope he’s had enough of a rest and puts in the performance of his Everton career. I’m hoping that Iwobi and Doucoure will do his running for him as well

Of course we have to keep our fingers crossed that he has his annual half decent game. Hell of a basis to pick a player on, though.

How many more times can I keep checking the league table and remaining fixtures, feel like I’m missing something even though I know it!!!

BBC guys just said Leeds draw means Everton cannot be safe today.
erm... have another look at the table you Manc
edit - he's just changed his tune

It's in our hands, just need 3 points to survive in two home games ..... COYB -

We dont want to play Arsenal away needing anything......

Gomes frightens me

You’re not alone. It’s an odd decision to be sure. But let’s see what happens eh? Maybe a master stroke.

 

[everton fan number one]

Zero chance of us starting with any intensity today

He's doing it because Gomes can pick up the ball off the defence kind of like Delph does but I'd have just gone with Allan

Two points is enough Joe. We’ve got Leeds smoked on goal difference

I don't know why that would be the case. We will start with that.

We've got to make sure we keep a lid on things and don't go mad.

 

[kenada_blue]

Get the win. Then plan for next season.

Yeah but you don't play for two draws ultimately. Got to get this done.

[knowing your history]

Gomes starting is very odd.

Guy hasn't started in months. Hope this isn't a case of Lampard thinking everything is done as worry Eriksen will find those little pockets around the back 4 and wreak some havoc.

Allan getting frozen out so he'll be off this summer.

 

[jazzy]

Picking Gomes is unforgivable. Allan, Davies or even Alli should be on that pitch before him.

Not a chance we’re winning this.

Completely agree Brett. No idea how he walks back into the side. Any combination of our midfielders in a 2 gets overrun but with Gomes one of the 2 it is a joke. Hasn't Frank learned anything? If big if you play Gomes he has to play in a 3.

5 live still not realised we're safe win a win. They have forgotten Leeds have only 1 match left
