[Point man]

Looking forward to this 3-2 win COYB:

Just annoying that Martial is back. Always climbs off his sick bed to score against us. Fernandes often pulls out his best performance of the season against us also.

Maybe but Varane out for them is massive, I really fancy Maupay to grab another today

 

[Saint Domingo]

I’d love another clean sheet, just keep this defensive record for as long as possible. Confidence breeds better performances which breeds more confidence. We’ll start to believe teams struggle to score against us and teams will start to think they’ll struggle to score against us.

 

[Zatara]

Id be happy with a 0-0 tonight.

Yes a win would be great but just keeping the clean sheets / tight defence and grabbing a point keeps our unbeaten run going.

Every point is still crucial. We’re not that far removed from a team that was battling relegation. A few key injuries and bad results and we could be back down there struggling to score not knowing when the next win is arriving. We’re looking far more solid than last season at the moment so let’s just get as many points as we can and keep momentum going.

A hard fought and lucky 1-0 will do

I think we need to target 50 more pts and to keep eeking out results with a strong defence. Get that and were in Europe, fall short and were still progressing.

 

[Blue Roo]

Its not healthy having to wait this long for a game on the weekend.
And its pissing down here in Tipp.

Was thinking maybe the best way to stop the counter is a 343
Pickford
Tarks Coady Myko
Iwobi Garner Onana Gueye
Gray, Maupay, Gordon

[Amokachi1995]

I'm still not at the stage where I can be confident going into matches but I am hopeful. Need to be aggressive and high tempo from the first minute.

 

[PhilM]

How come this game is being played at 7pm on Sunday night?

(And also, how come there wasn’t a lunch time game yesterday). Train strikes?

TV audiences. United couldn't play on Saturday because of Thursday evening's fixture, but BT obviously didn't want to give up the chance to show it.

Sky had these two games, so they've let them go into Sunday evening slots. Once the precedent has been set, it'll become more and more common.

I think we need to target 50 more pts and to keep eeking out results with a strong defence. Get that and were in Europe, fall short and were still progressing.

I think we're a season away from Europe. Strengthen a bit up front and get some more production from there and from midfield as the young players develop, and we should have enough goals to get there given the defensive solidity.

I think it's asking a bit much of the young players to develop fast enough to get us there this season. It could happen, but I don't expect it.

 

[davek]

I hope Lampard doesn't see this as a chance to show how 'expansive' he wants the team to be.

Just do what we did back in April against them: let them have the lion's share of the ball and take our chance when presented.

 

[MACCA75]

Hate this kick off time. I’d rather Everton ruin my weekend straight off the bat rather than waiting around for them to ruin it.

 

[The_Street_End]

Always fancy us against these at Goodison. But their front 3, especially that Antony(w/e) do scare me a little. Seems to score from nothing.
We should beat them.
