Don't think you would get much for them mate.
They must be about the size of a six week old kittens , going by the way you flap on here

WHU's final isnt until June 7th. I've no doubt they'll be at full strength against Leicester and I just don't see Leicester winning. The issue is Leeds for me...or rather Spurs. They are sheet.

Mattys head is now officially going to explode.

then my heart will be nxt

Leicester will have to go all our fort he win b West Ham which ironically means West Ham can play the way they do best on the counter.

Everton at least won’t get caught in the mindset of thinking a draw is enough, we know what we have to do now, beat Bournemouth and we stay up.

I can see Bowen and Benrahama racing past that dog of a defence Leicester have all day long.

 

[knowing your history]

Hard to believe Leicester were playing amazing football and winning the FA cup just two years ago with largely the same 14 players they had involved tonight!

Of course teams have crashed and burned quickly before but likes of Villa, Sunderland, Southampton and a few others usually lost 2-3 key players and replaced them with duds and rest of side isn't that good.

Leicester got a point to keep them alive but even Mourinho wouldn't have restorted to that type of bus parking, not a single shot on goal until the 92nd minute.

They were very lucky not to concede at least once from a set piece so that's where West Ham can hurt them even if they wouldn't dominate like Newcastle did. There's certainly no way Leicester could win on final day playing like that so they'll have to be more open and so West Ham will have chances on the counter like v Leeds.

I also think a point for them will at least make playing out a draw pretty unlikely at Goodison which looked possible with just Leeds in play. Get at Bournemouth in first 20 minutes, see what their mentality is and hopefully go a goal up as that wouldn't half cut the atmosphere straight away in Leicester and Leeds.

Agree to an extent but why couldn't we do that in other games and give ourselves more of a chance. And despite being defensive they still hit the woodwork 4 or 5 times

I don't know mate,
We do the same do something good then you get a shambles the week after.
Suppose that why are teams are where they are.
Baffling the players you have , your anywhere near bottom on paper.

 

[toffee-L]

Shame we’ve lost the security blanket of only needing a draw, but really can’t have asked for much more than to just have it in our hands for the last day.

I think there will be some very nervous moments against Bournemouth but the important thing is composure, can’t be letting updates from the Leeds and Leicester games affect us.

Focus on ourselves and ourselves only.

 

[Cels]

Just don’t invade the pitch if we win please God

I doubt God will invade the pitch if we win, mate. So we should be alright

​

 

[Swartzy]

Both of the other teams would swap with us in a second. Having destiny in your own hands and the easiest fixture on paper.

Remember tho m8, The easiest fixture on paper concept, doesn't really take in the consideration of Everton !!

 

[Lob]

We still needed to win on Sunday anyway even if Leicester had been beat. If we drew and Leeds won by 3 goals (as impossible as that seems), then we would go down on GD as they have scored more. You simply could not take that chance with what's at stake and with the strange results that have been happening so we would have still had to have gone for the win to make sure.

Going to need the fans big time on this one though and i am not even sure that will be enough with no striker. Time for Dyche to earn his money and come up with a game winning plan. Absolutely pointless playing it safe in any way now.

Jesus Christ it’s a damp in here,
If we lose there’s a chance we stay up,
If we draw there’s more of a chance we stay up.
If we win we definitely stay up.
If we cock it up and drop then we absolutely deserve it and there’s nothing we can do. No point stressing about things that haven’t happened you just potentially make yourself sad twice

That's the worry mate, you sat deep and only had 1 shot on goal.

 

[Goodison87]

Let's face it, all 3 of us will probably lose lol

Only saying that today mate, wouldn’t surprise me at all..

 

[Neiler]

It’s a shoot out now, essentially everyone has to win and we have our noses in front. We can control the controllable, if we do our part we don’t have to worry about anyone else.
