First time in 3 years I’m looking forward to a game rather than dreading it.

 

[Chewbacca]

I think Harri is nailed on to start. Looked great against Villa and just played an hour. Certainly ok to play another hour here. Get your best players starting games.

Agreed. Start well against these and it should be a comfortable afternoon. Let them keep it 0-0 for an hour and it gets dangerous.

Yep, arses start twitching and we ultimately end up gifting them a goal. Best to avoid that situation by going two up before bringing on a few fresher legs.

Been trying to find the Luton press conference ahead of this game but cannot find it anywhere. Surely they're obligated to hold one prior to every game week? Not even a game preview on their official website - koff back to the football league ffs.

They are,

but they aren't obliged to do it online. Sky will have cameras for it ofcourse.

It’s approximately 35 years since I felt like that. I envy you.

The fixtures tomorrow give us a great chance to put a 3 to 6 point gap between us and the bottom five.

If we don't get all 3 points it'll be a bitter blow.

Issue a tremendous drubbing please Everton. No messing about.

We'll bum them silly. Somebody is due an old fashioned battering and I think it's them. 3-0 but we'll think it could have been seven.

Barkley injured, didnt realise

These type of ‘taking a great stride’ matches don’t tend to work out well for us. Although if we don’t take the points against Luton then we deserve all that we get.

Luton is in many ways a polar opposite challenge to Brentford or Villa away.

Expectation, home crowd - against a team not setting out with winning as their primary objective.

This really isn't the gimme a lot of people seem to think it is. It'll require a different approach, and complacency can't be allowed to set in.

Full strength. Everton 4-0 Luton.

The best way to avoid complacency is to start full throttle, get the crowd pumped and hopefully get a goal early.
