Draw for the scum now will be great

I need a lie down

But that was such a marvellous way to win. Imagine Sam goes down by a point in the end hahahah lol

 

[when i score we riot]

Chuffed. One of those Big Sam wins, straight up against Big Sam. Ugly, but great job, and just about enough luck.

Everything here is about momentum. Sitting up in that 4th spot is massive, and we still have a game in hand. Win that, and we're ap oint behind Leicester.

Hopefully this is the time when we start winning those games we've been losing too easily.

I don't care what VAR did there's no way that was offside. Massive massive bullet dodged

Sometimes VAR plays in our favor, sometimes against. Today we were fortunate and at times that's all a team needs to achieve top four status

 

[Pabbers]

Don’t care how we have played at all tonight, big big win.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Pickford came changed his mind we got lucky with VAR happy days

If you look/listen closely, as he’s coming, Godfrey says “get back on your line Picko, lad, we’re gonna play this mug offside.”

You’ve got to say it’s great play in the end.

 

[Death]

They are GAGGING for us to be out of top 4 by end of the night. Every time its mentioned they say 'but might not be for long, other games to play' ... its like we've played a game extra the way they are going on.

 

[blue to the bone]

Thought Holgate was excellent there

 

[Medallo]

Listen, let's be happy that Everton is top 4 right now. I do have to say that it doesn't feel like a top team. I think the mentality is not there yet. When you have a player like James one in four games, plus all the other injuries, plus the fact that the team is still missing one or two players, I for one feel fortunate with a top 4 position. Richarlison is putting the team on his back for now. DCL needs to find his form again and the team needs to be more aggressive overall, especially against teams like West Bromwich. Quality goal and the three points, I'm happy. ¡Vamos Everton!

It was offside like.

I wouldn't have been happy if it was us

 

[Saint Domingo]

We're doing great - but we can't expect to make the top four by scraping past the likes of WBA and Southampton, hanging on for dear life and depending on VAR to get us out of jail. This will inevitably catch up on us. But we're doing what we have to do to give ourselves a puncher's chance. Carlo Pragmatico!

West Brom drew at Anfield and the Etihad and took points off United. Southampton beat Liverpool and drew with Chelsea recently. There’s no easy games in the premier eagle. Even Sheffield United won at Old Trafford. Our competitors aren’t beating all these teams that we ‘have’ to be beating.

 

[Nobby Nobbs]

Pleased as punch we’re 4th. Proper lucky though.
But..... Ashley Cole was spot on with his comments unfortunately.

Yeah thought Cole was spot on with his assessment need to work harder when not in possession.

 

[Fansince1988]

That's fair. But I'll always remember that period over Christmas where we went something like 3 matches without having a shot on goal.

Yes it’s was that type of football that proved to be his downfall here.

Good evening toffee

He heard me Zat, stepped up and bagged the winner. You can thank me now or later

 

[Martin Alvito]

Thank God, a win, clean sheet, 3 points but not impressive.

If we can keep clean sheets, we can push top 4. 6 wins and six draws leaves us on 70, which should comfortably get it done.

As the losses start to pile up, we start needing wins, which implies scoring more than we are.
