Match Thread Everton v Tottenham Hotspur - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[stopstandthere]

Still a long way to go.

 

[Eggs]

I have a lot of respect of your opinions, Eggs, but we have four matches against teams in the bottom nine, from which the three relegated are expected to come. Another twelve points would almost certainly be enough.

We may not win all of them, but I can see points in our home game v Fulham and even the other home matches.

Man Utd are in a bad run of form and I haven't written that fixture off.

…fingers crossed Jeff, I feel Dyche has given us a chance.

it’ll be fascinating what he does with Doucoure’s suspension. He could revert to the Lampard central midfield axis of Gueye/Onana/Iwobi or bring in Davies or Garner. If he goes for the former, it would allow Gray to play right wing and Simms up top but he might think that carries too much risk.

Usual corrupt double standards mate - doucure was a dope but it happens in several matches and there’s no sendings off.

Kanes transgressions were the catalyst in it all - he’s a diving cheat - always has been.

He just doesn't trust Gray as a winger who has to defend, which is understandable. Iwobi works hard and will do the defensive side of the game as well.

He obviously has some trust in gray on a scale as he's starting him as striker, and in fairness to Gray, he's doing his best but he's not getting much infront of goal as it is. I personally can't see him playing Gray out wide unless no other choice.

I'd like to think Garner would come in. I am scared that it will be Davies though.

Id like to see Iwobi in that central role as dont think he is suited out wide. Only thing is does Gray do enough defensively to play wide right? I like Garner too so wouldnt mind seen him in a three

Can we all just take a minute to make sure Kane is ok!

Last I heard after a vicious attack last night that included gouging of eyes, goodison ground staff are still searching the pitch for Kanes eyes

 

[ToffeeTim]

Without Kane's theatrics there is no red card. He deliberately tried to get an opponent a red card, and he has been going down easily or under no contact for years. It just doesn't get mentioned because Spurs are fashionable (even though they have won nothing ever), and because he captains England.

Doucoure was just not smart enough in the moment and cost us.

It will depends what Dyche thinks is more important. If it’s legs and work rate Davies over Garner all day, I think he might push Onana forward in to Doucoures role and possibly use Garner as he is better on the ball.

agree here just not the tom davies role

 

[Andy is the King]

Doucoure - yellow card for introducing the palm of his hand to Kane's face
Kane - yellow card for the worst dramatization of pain in recorded history
All sorted, get on with the game

 

[Bluerover]

Totally disagree with your last night was a must win myself, many had us to lose the last 2 and probably Sat, i think getting last 2 and man utd out the way getting 2 points and still been as close as what we are, putting in the performances we did, gives us a great chance, feel we will beat Fulham and Bournemouth home for a start,myself

I have those two down as likely wins.

 

[Ring master]

I have those two down as likely wins.

I know, so how many points do you think we need as your predictions would have us on 37points
