They'll score 2x more than we'll have shots on target.

Actually think an early goal would go against us here. We would end up being so deep after that the players would be in the nets.

Our best chance is keeping them out for as long as possible, and trying to nick one from a set-piece, the later the better.

Pity our set-piece delivery is largely very poor, but its our best chance.

We definately have a chance, but only a slim one. Not without luck are we winning this, and a decision such as a sending-off or a penalty in our favour would be needed I think.

Haven't we scored the 2nd highest number of goals from set pieces in the league?

Made a decision that I’m not even watching this, it will be pure torture with the inevitable outcome.
Nobody kid yourselves that we have a cat in hells chance of winning this game, just don’t do it to yourself and you will have a much better weekend.

correct. i'm swerving it

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Not sure how many lucky underpants measures I can take here, but of course I will!!
Keep it tight for 80 minutes then score is our best hope.
Its the cup. We win 1-0!

IF we can keep our focus on not letting them cut inside and take pot shots from the edge of the box we might be able to keep them from scoring this time. Our goalie situation will push them to shoot at any opportunity, we showed this as a weakness both in our last game against them and in our game last weekend.

I'd take that,I may have tripped this mortal coil and not see the semi final with you all because of the implications of this game,but Everton come first eh? lol lollol

Yes I’ll take that as well, as long as you can see the semi final and the final too!!

We can do this...

 

[Toffeelover]

He's in the treatment room as carlo told us last week

Cheers Mate, thought he would have been out in time for the FA Cup tie.

Wonder where our creativity will come from?

What does pitch a shutout mean squire?

Something to do with XG ,XA zone 13 and assisting the assister ,plus a few heat maps I would say

 

[Brisan123]

Olsen

Holgate Keane Godfrey

Coleman Allan Davies Digne

Iwobi

DCL Richarlison

When we have chances we have to make them count. That was our downfall against Burnley. This game has become so big for our season.

 

[Brisan123]

Quoted wrong post lol

You would not be the first and you will certainly not be the last to do that

 

[Brisan123]

I just don’t think it’s a fair situation looking city’s resources compared to ours. If they had an integrity they would let us field 12 players to even the balance

We struggle to field 11 actual footballers every week
No chance we can put out 12
