Match Thread Stoke City v Everton 1/2/17 KO 8pm GMT

[jinkyali]

Win tomorrow reduces gap on the pack we're chasing quite nicely

 

[Thomasc]

It will be same side I reckon, only change maybe Schneids for Barry.

Bench - Stek, Jags, Kenny, Barry/Schneids, McCarthy, Valencia, Lennon, Lookman

Gueye back at weekend, DCL to come back as well as Besic

Not much creativity at all amongst this lot

Edit: I forgot lookman initially

 

[dublinbluenose]

Massive game now with how results have gone this evening - teams above us all dropping points bar UTD.

This season is not over yet !!!

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Ch.league next season lads! Watch this space

 

[blue61]

Win tomorrow, 8 points off second. Over to you Everton.

 

[a bell maul]

tough, tough game I'm predicting

 

[snipellis11]

With all the teams above dropping points it adds a bit more pressure on the players to get the 3 points and close the gap.

 

[blue to the bone]

Crouch needs 1 for his 100 goal.
Berahino has to score his first.
We need 3 to win so

 

[Russian Evertonian]

If we are gonna catch the Top 4 and the kopites, I am not even saying the Top 6, we have to win tomorrow. It will be hard. It could be windy (haha), but we have to win.
COYB!

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Yes statement of intent to be made to create more space between us and the Baggies.

 

[QLDBlue]

Really need 3 points here! Closes the gap above us and opens up a nice 6 point gap below us. COYB

 

[AaronTheBlue]

I'd throw Schneiderlin in tomorrow for Barry, and bring Lookman in to play with Lukaku upfront.

This....

I think we need to go at them early and hit them hard... and for that we need the legs on the field to keep them pinned back!

going to be a physical game, schneiderlin will add a bit of pace and height / physicality to help davies and Ross.

Lookman should be able to get around there defence and link up with rom as their all fairly slow and un-agile, be a interesting one though.

Could be a season defining fixture tomorrow..... COYB .... Please come out firing on all cylinders for once !
