….they are an unbelievable fan group & not a tourist to be seen.

Glad it was only the very few posters who dared criticise them at one stage this season. The majority shouted them down.

The greatest fan base, they are us.

It's hit home to a lot of us, relegation is real. This is the kind of support we've needed for years. It's not the fans fault, Everton have been mid table mediocrity for years, it takes a scare to really get the fans alive again.

Hopefully, we do a Leicester and escape this season, and win the league next! COYB!!

Sassy, Ive watched this about 20 times now, and just cry. What a f........ set of fans we have/are. Everyone in the video is immense. The little kid in blue dancing, the older guy in the away shirt singing his heart out, the guy with the crutches. Ive seen it all in my 53 years supporting this club. From unbeatable (80's) to unbearable (since 1990 lol) but the fans in the last couple of weeks have been off the charts. I live all the way in Alaska now, and so wish I was there to be part of it.....but Im so glad they are all there, riding this wave of emotions that cant POSSIBLY be described to anyone other than an Evertonian.

Fingers crossed for the rest of the season, and NBC - thank you for not being Sky!

They really have been outstanding, while it would have been easy to give up due to the bad results, our followers attending games have been the 12th man this season and the impetus behind our player’s recent success.

Here is another clip, not from NBC but as rewarding

The saves from Mina and Pickford gave us this win……

 

[Sassy Colombian]

Fantastic.
If fans equated to points, we would be top of the league.
NEA.

We would already have won the league title for sure ?

 

[Ufotone]

MOTM to Pickford again, well done Jordan

Apart from the obvious mix up leading to their goal, I thought we did a solid job today.

Very pleased for Mykolenko, great goal.

Holgate, made up for past mistakes with his goal.

Another 3 vital points.

It seems Frank is getting good value from out team right now, long may it continue.

This.
Mina wasn't on the pitch for long, but we could so easily have been 1-0 down inside the first 2 minutes if it wasn't for his block when Pickford was beaten.
Pickfords later saves were (again) excellent.

 

[ricardobee]

Pickford was incredible but I thought Delph ran him close... like having Lee Carsley back in the side

 

[Toff33Blues99]

Wasnt pretty and we looked desperate at times but it's a vital away win which puts enormous pressure on the other 2 around us. Worrying that we lost 2 of the back 4/5 though, hope both are not serious although Mina could probably do with being laid to rest

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Honestly found it very hard to believe we’d get anything out of that game today. Fair play to Lampard and the players; it’s not been pretty but 6 out of 6 against two very tough opponents is excellent going.

The trick now is to bring that same tenacity into the upcoming games against the lesser lights. Watford look as shambolic as we did until recently and are 100% there for the taking - Prove we can get though those kinds of games without Evertoning ourselves into oblivion and I’ll start to believe we might be safe!

We need to avenge that 5-2 fiasco too. Put a few past them, secure the three points and then going up against Brentford to finish it off.

 

[Markydys]

Imagine if Delph wasn't so injury prone. He makes a huge difference to us. Absolutely quality

Imagine back in August suggesting Delph and Iwobi would be some of our standout and most reliable players.

Imagine back in August suggesting Delph and Iwobi would be some of our standout and most reliable players.

Don’t think that I will be criticising too much in the future. I tend to be very critical when we lose. I tend to let me old heart rule my head. Think it’s time that I give every player a fair chance. Think that we all should. You just don’t know what is around the corner. Up the Toffees…..
