I don’t trust him to do that role tbh He was absolutely immense in the reverse fixture against these absolutely ran the show, should start for me will have an advantage straight away they were terrified of him.

Coffee_Johnny Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 They are above the drop on goal difference only (admittedly with games in hand), have lost ten premier league games in a row (last win Home to Arsenal, 2-1, 6th Dec). In April they have West Ham (Away), Man Utd (H), Liverpool (A), Chelsea (H). They must see us as the most winnable game and are in dire straits if they don’t win (There’s a Knopfler pun in there somewhere dying to get out…). Irrational as it sounds, as they are fighting for their top flight status (never been relegated in living memory) makes me think they are more likely to win this game.

NE27 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Do worry about an evening game at Goodison mind. Trying to shake these past worries but old habits and all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 If we'd got a point or Watford hadn't won I'd have looked at this as a chance to toy with them in front of a nervous crowd. Too early for a rallying cry atmosphere and hopefully that s**t crowd will probably still come into effect. Need players back. One win and that should be us. Don't want to get sucked back in.

ilikenewcastle Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I agree with everyone who says an early goal (or even just a good start from us) will make life very tricky for the Everton players. A win here and it's job done for us, if we lose we should be OK, but given our tough run in I might get a little nervous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papo Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 This game can be a "season decider" for both teams. If we win we are absolutely staying up and they are surely going down IMO. Other way round they can get a bit of confidence before a really tricky fixture list and we are going to have a lot of tough games until the end of the season too with an incoming pressure to win at least 2-3 from them. Win it and we can be relaxed for this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Coleman has been a disgrace for this lot for the last few weeks, I'd start ASM directly up against him and watch the carnage. Got the potential to absolutely roast him all night. Not sexually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Think if we score early they'll completely shit themselves. Fucking hated us going to Goodison but think we've a great chance to give them a dreadful evening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Aye, first goal in this is huge. If we get it I think we'll win the game. By a few if we score early, could turn toxic in there, especially if ASM is taking the piss or our midfield is running the show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I know they lost Mina and Gray in the first half, but they were absolute bobbins at SJP. They had more of the ball but not a clue what to do with it. If Big Jow, Shelvey, Willock and ASM are all good to feature - and he puts wee man back in - I can't foresee any reason we don't comfortably win again. Just hope we go back to four at the back and Manqi keeps his place ahead of cheeseslice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubravka, Manquillo, Schar, Burn, Targett, Willock, Joelinton, Bruno, Fraser, Wood, ASM. Depending on fitness obviously, especially the midfielders.
