Match Thread Wolves 1-1 Everton, Saturday 8th March

[Timbucktoo]

Got a bit of confidence going into this one. I feel the break will have done us some good, giving the players that have more or less had to play every game recently, a breather, plus now a couple more players that may be fit enough to come on towards the end if needs be. We’re a different team to the one under Dyche, every chance we come away with 3 points tonight.

That said, these guys will give us a game, with or without Cunha. Got more about them compared to the other teams below us and they’ll have targeted this game as one they can win and they’ll know that 3 points for them will mean that they can begin to think about next season as a top flight club, while still not quite being out of the woods.

Gut feeling, we’ll win this 2-1

I think it will suit us if they do try to give us a game and if they think they can beat us they will give us plenty of opportunity to get Beto through on goal like v Brentford. Just hope he has brought his shooting boots tonight.

0-3 this one. Expect us to win comfortably.

Hopefully we'll get a ref like the one at Analfield today... that first penalty was SOFT in the extreme

 

[Ring master]

i’d take a draw

they’re ok at home

our record against these apart from the home win is atrocious

Lost 9 from 13 i would not say is ok. Only saints lost more home in prem league

beat saints, 10men man utd and a villa team that had a goal given as a dodgy offside

Not liking the 8pm nonsense

 

[Runub]

Hope I wrong but I have a feeling we will lose this, possibly spectacularly. On a positive note I am crap at predicting results

What's a penalty?

It's nice to go into games with a sense of optimism.

Reckon we'll win 2-0 here.

0-30: Everton with an energetic start, Beto played through by Alcaraz but pokes it wide when 1:1 with keeper. Wolves get some possession towards the half hour point, but don't test Pickford.

30-45: A breakthrough and it's a goal for Merseyside derby hero James Tarkowski, who leaps like a proverbial salmon to convert a Jack Harrison inswinging corner.

45-60: Wolves come out of the blocks quickly, it's clear they've been told to make a better fist of things in the second half. A flurry of corners come to nothing before a long range effort from Gomes has Pickford scrambling, the England goalkeeper just able to get a fingertip to push it over the bar. Everton settle back into it and re-take control of the game by the hour mark, with Garner and in particular Gueye buzzing around like a pair of wasps in midfield.

70-90: It's a second goal for Everton and, after a handful of attempts in the past two games, Beto gets his name back on the scoresheet again. Iroegbunam, on for Garner, puts him though, defender Bueno basically bounces off Beto, before the big man slides it home to settle the game.

A late red card for Semedo compounds the host's misery, the ex-Barcelona man ordered off the field for an extremely rash and late challenge on Ashley Young after he was brought on to replace O'Brien on the 85 minute mark.

Full time score:
Wolves 0-2 Everton.

Thought you were suggesting a 30 nil victory for the toffees there
