[Blueboys1990]

Here we go here we go here we go
Everton are the best we all know
We're the team we're supreme number 1
And we love you EV ER TON
Here we go here we go here we go
Side by side as we sing along together
E V E R T O N
We're Everton and we'll be Everton forever!!!

Another big game Wednesday and a chance to put back to back league wins together since the last time we got back to back wins (March 2021 for those thinking I haven't done my homework)

Watford lost today and here's hoping the Hammers put another nail in the coffin known as the Dycheless Burnley FC

Can't see any changes for this game after the great result against Utd, but our bench should certainly look a lot stronger with Mina and VDB coming back.

Whoever does or doesn't play, we need the same commitment, drive and desire to get the 3 points at all costs. No doubt the support will be amazing, in fact it'll be even better as I'm going and my voice is the equivalent of 100 Evertonians I've been told.

GK - Pickford
RB - Coleman
CB - Keane
CB - Godfrey
LB - Mykolenko
CM - Delph
CM - Allan

We really need DCL to break out of his funk ( a few decent crosses would help). A front line with him, Richy and Iwoby playing loosely beside/behind/all over the field, I think would have them more than a little concerned. But as always with us, the midfield will be the make or break factor. If we boss the midfield, we win!

We do but i'm not banking on it. I am personally am starting to think he's just not a very good footballer, lack of effort being a lot of it.

A win tonight might even give me a bit of optimism going into the derby. After the Burnley game I was certain we were down. I'd made peace with it but here we are still fighting on. Is it too much to ask for a comfortable 2 nil win?
Come on!!

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Let's do this tonight Bloooooooos,Up the Toffs?

 

[Lobster Johnson]

‐------------Pickford--------------

Coleman--Mina---Godfrey---Mykolenko

---------------Allan--------Delph

Iwobi---------------VDB------------Richarlison

--------------‐--------- DCL

Lots of options on the bench and good ones in Gordon, Doucoure, Rondon, Gray

LETS GOOOOOO!!!!!

Dropping Gordon and persisiting with "Iwobi is a winger"? No ta.

 

[North wales blue]

Just keep a clean sheet ?

 

[Groucho]

Must win, again.

 

[liamefc91]

Leicester are crap. Once we beat them even the biggest doom mongers must accept that we are safe surely?

First time here? If we were 10 points clear with everyone with 3 to play i still wouldnt be convinced we are totally safe

Nervous already haha

 

[GoldenToffee]

What I believe the side will be. Mina I not be risked to start. Wouldn't be too against this line up given what we have in the squad.

Pickford
Coleyman-Keane-Godfrey-Mykolenko
Delph-Allan-Iwobi
Gordon-DCL-Richarlison​

 

[Trimm Trabb]

Heading across the Irish Sea with my eldest for this one. First time since the Watford 2-5. You owe us big time, Everton, so do not eff this up.

Pickford
Coleyman-Keane-Godfrey-Mykolenko
Delph-Allan-Iwobi
Gordon-DCL-Richarlison​

This was my take on it too: unless he's fully fit, we need to ensure he's eased back as we simply cannot afford him to receive another injury let alone a lengthy one.

If Delph is fit, he deserves a start again based on his previous performance, but I have an inkling that VDB may get a start.
