[nsno-chris]

Drew with Villa who have nothing to play for and everybody's acting like we playing city.

But we’re Everton

Plus we have no players

Keanes back so it'll be the same as today virtually hopefully minus Gomes.

We started really well today and, crucially, got the early goal. What that did for us at the time was show that we could be safe with games still to go and so we could play with a bit of freedom. Red card defo changes things and the rest is history.

My concern now (aside from the threadbare squad) is how they manage the weight of expectation. There is no more buffer. Not a chance we’re getting anything off Arsenal so we simply have to win v Palace. If we don’t start well and/or get an early goal I think we’re going to find it really hard, especially as the game goes on and they’ve got the likes of Eze, Olise and Zaha stretching our knackered/patchwork back line.

We should have been braver against Watford and got points in the bag. Better game management (in particular taking Gordon off earlier) COULD have got us a point today but hard to make that argument with much conviction.

Bottom line, it’s midnight on Sunday and we haven’t even started our homework yet. Bleak.

Olise is out

That fills me with more fear

Absolutely no way this squad of players / PL / refs / Sky allow Everton supporters to avoid going into the final weekend with it all at risk

if we draw to palace, we kinda need villa to do us a favour and thrash burnley to help with GD.

Yup.

Villa just beat Burnley 3-1 at turfmoor. They're capable of putting 3 past them, Newcastle's uplift they are capable of beating them.

As down as I am today, I can one of either burnley/leeds losing, cant see both teams winning on the final day, just hope Villa do the job mid-week.
