STM Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I keep forgetting this is tonight. Keep having to remind myself. It's weird because I'm normally absolutely all over it. Think it's the Thursday thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say the same for Liverpool fans mind. All the Everon and Liverpool fans I know are sound. It's the ones I don't know that are a fucking nightmare and its happened to me and others too many times on Merseyside to be just a random thing.

Chicken Dancer Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Ridiculously nervous. Was saying to the Mrs last night this is much worse than fighting relegation and I don't even know why As others have touched on, I'd have Gordon nowhere near the squad tonight. Give them absolutely no reason whatsoever to be even more fired up. Actually think having Lascelles could be a blessing due to their incoming aerial bombardment.

But I can actually calm the nerves by thinking about how I felt at this stage in these recent seasons where these games have been all about trying to claw our way to safety. This by comparison is so much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This by comparison is so much better. I'm just a self-proclaimed wet-wipe though, struggling to shift my mentality from the Ashley era, which covered my entire late-teens/20s. Just wish Liverpool would fuck off. Saying that if we beat this lot tonight even I'll relax a tad, for an hour or so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Come on lads, let’s get this win tonight and then push ourselves to 20 wins in the season! Imagine that amount of games won one year removed from the Ashley era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Thank fuck we have players like Tripper, Bruno and Isak, who not only don't seem to play with pressure but also having a calming influence on those around them. Just give Bruno the ball FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Those advocating for Gordon not being involved. Is it this fixture only, or will it be an ongoing thing with Everton away (on the basis they stay up) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferguson apparently stopped playing Rooney at Goodison because it fired up their crowd and they were dropping points. They stopped playing him and their results improved.

Team is full of players with that winning/big game mentality now. Longstaff mentioned in that Athletic piece on him that in every pre-game huddle Trippier says 'pressure is a privilege'.

Given it's his first meeting with them since leaving, they're planning all sorts of fan-based shit pre-match, it's a night game with relegation/CL implications, we're best to leave him out imo. That Xhaka/TAA incident at Anfield on Easter Sunday riled the home crowd up to claw back a 2 goal deficit and maybe even stopped Arsenal winning the league. I know Liverpool have a much better squad than Everton but fan power is huge in football imo, granted not all the time. Hopefully it's similar to when we played Portsmouth under Shearer in 08/09. Evening game, that fella singing Blaydon Races, everyone up for it and we fail to win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnbull2000 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Feeling a little bit less confident with Schar out, but should be no excuses with this lot. Can see us conceding, so three goals by half time so I'm a little less anxious please! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not in form, he's still new to the system and finding his feet. It's his first game going back there for us. Maybe its not worth the risk of being targetted and triggered in to making an emotional mistake, getting a red card etc. It's a loose argument, and one I'm not too fussed over.

Feels like a similar week to the London week where we had 3 games in 6 days where Wilson started at West Ham. I know this has an extra days rest but feels like it might be a good time to start Wilson and put Isak back in Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
