Match Thread Everton 1-0 Brentford - Pre-match chat, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Charles Hawtrey]

As a long time sufferer I know the Everton performance coming up next. This is a game many expect to win at home against, what is, a bottom-half team. I think we all hoped to get 4+ points from this week's three games, so far we have 6.
Brentford are strong up front and the game may hinge on Pickford's performance. He is a confidence player thankfully so may still be buzzing from the Derby win.
Unfortunately, in this topsy turvey season I could see us losing Saturday, not that I don't dream of a win. My guess would be 2-3 but it could also easily be 0-1.

Pickford
Godfrey - Tarkowski - Branthwaite - Young
Gana
Harrison - Garner - Onana/Doucoure - McNeil
DCL

Gana has been fantastic in the last 2 games but must be flagging. Doucoure to the bench for half the game as he surely cant manage a shift like that 3 times in a week.

 

[Blue Neon]

Need a win here then obviously more pressure off. ( 2 - 0 ) A 0 - 0 good defensive minded game at Luton, and a ( on paper ) easy! last home game v Sheff Utd should be more than enough.

 

[maccavennie]

Need pretty much the same team (minus Mykolenko) to go again and try and provide the same tempo, intensity and desire as they shown on Wednesday.

Do that and Brentford won't live with us. Fail to do that and be 10%-15% off it compared to Wednesday and it'll be a slog.

Evertonians still have a massive part to play, got to help the players over the line, roar them on and make it as uncomfortable for Brentford as possible.

So close to securing our Premier League safety, tomorrow is the time to do it.

 

[Cameron Manning]

We're 100% riding the crest of a wave right now. Hopefully the lads keep it up until we're mathematically safe. The Derby win was nice but I still can't wait for this season to be over

“ The Derby win was nice”! Don’t get over excited there Bainsey mate.

 

[Victus]

Quite looking forward to this. Havnt said that this season.

 

[Cameron Manning]

he will throwing toffees into the crowd before kick off

He’s not quite ready for that, might be back on the grass by June ready for his holidays!

 

[PeregrineT]

Another win and officially making us safe a day from now would be awesome. But even a draw at this point is a good result and ends it if Luton loses.
This will be a bit harder with both fullbacks injured

 

[Rita_Poon]

Hope there's sun, and little wind. And then Goodison is packed to the rafters and in pleasant mood for a good solid match. A great atmosphere and spectacle.
Let the good vibes from Wednesday play through.

 

[Preki]

I've got a feeling this might be a case of 'after the lord mayors show' as my mum say's.
A draw likely but another win would be tremendous.

 

[Goat]

Another 3 points and we can get the sun cream out and the deckchairs.

 

[Mikey O]

Can see us getting a strong win tomorrow and with other results making us safe from relegation.

The players will be full of confidence; three wins in four and drubbing the dirty reds.

Let's smash this lot and I can go on my jollies to Madrid in a totally relaxed frame of mind.

 

[Jamiednm]

If I were Sean Dyche (which I’m not), I’d tell the players the season ends today. Get 3 points then we can get the deckchairs out and lube them up with sun cream.

 

[Furey1878]

Quite looking forward to this. Havnt said that this season.

Uh oh...

 

[Connor mcloud]

Is the club shop selling Sean Dyche trackies?

 

[davek]

No way Luton get anything from Wolves.

Wolves won't be in any mood to lose another game - especially against a terrible outfit like Luton.

We'll need a point tomorrow and with massive +GD that is that.
