any more injuries. We are so thinly spread now, we have too keep whats left fit for this game, no whoppers injuring themselves in training or in the warm up on mtch day.

I will see your worry and sink it with the following (fake) scenario - Neil Maupay getting injured in training.
 
Worried if we concede first we won,t come back
Hope Spurs score first against Leeds as Leeds will have to push forward and will leave gaps at the back
Anybody think Moyes will pick a strong team against Leicester as places up for grabs for the final
 
Everton having to win the game. Most games we play we're set up not to get beat. If it goes how Everton games usually go we'll batter bournemouth for 25 minutes. Go 1 nil down. Get it back to 1-1 and then all hell will break loose 2nd half as we huff n puff for a winner.

Oh for just being a few goals up before half time and enjoying an Everton game for once. 45 first half minutes against Brighton is the single and only good thing in an entire season. Pitiful really.
 

Has to be Everton being useless for the simple reason that the other games are irrelevant if we take care of our own business. Leicester and Leeds could each win 10-0 and as long as we beat 15th placed Bournemouth (who have less than 40 points) at Home we are safe.
 
The slowly dawning realisiation that it's not a bad dream and yes, this is my life and i am that unspeakably average bloke that i always hoped i wasn't!
 
Either that "Nil satis nisi optimum" will be replaced as the club motto by "If we can't beat Bournemouth at home, we deserve to go down," or that newly returned from injury David Brooks will play a blinder for Bournemouth and catch other clubs' attention before Everton have a chance to poach him.

Or maybe that within the course of a week, Everton will get relegated and the USA will default on its debt obligations.

Exciting times.
 

It will be a big mistake if Dyche doesn't play a back 3. We don't have the available personnel to play any other formation. We don't want McNeil spending the whole game defending at left back so play wing backs and get up the pitch. It's poor management to stick to your preferred system even when injuries mean you don't have the right players for it.
We don't really have the personnel available for 5(at back 3 with us always becomes a back 5) at back really, because it means making our two most creative players defenders and it invites pressure all game.
We don't score many goals as it is, stopping our creative players getting forward will just invite pressure .

Carlo done when he played Holgate, Godfrey Mina and Keane as a back 4, preferring that over going to a back 3.

Godfrey and Holgate don't deserve to play based on recent performances.
 
I think I'm possibly more worried about how stressful Sunday will be, especially during the 90 mins plus added time, rather than the end result. Unless they shock us and get a couple of early goals, it's going to be a horrible afternoon of tension and nerves
