Lazarus Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 The last few weeks have reminded me how consistent you have to be for champions league qualification. Id totally forgotton that its points, points, points every game, every week. We need to win this and I think we will. If we find ourselves going for the title in the next few years then the consistency has to be even better. It almost makes me appreciate that Manure team that relentlessly overtook when we were 12 points ahead. Almost... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Isak is more rested now, and more importantly stronger/fit physically. Also, against Everton away and them sitting back at times (i would guess) and with Tarkowski being pretty strong physically and in the air then i think i prefer the finesse and better creativity in general play from Isak. I would guess that Howe will see it this way too. Southampton at home we will/should have too much for them anyway. Plus IF we have to counter at times against Everton and the game flows from one end to another then having isak in transition is better. Hopefully we play well enough for them barely being on our side of the pitch. Having said that i very much rate Wilson too.

The Prophet Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I wonder with Forest winning tomorrow if Everton are a bit more front-footed tonight. Draws aren't really good enough for them at this stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dyche knows he doesn't have the players to play like that, so will instead set them up to be really tough to break down and hope to grab something from a set piece.

Think if he was going to play Wilson he'd have left Isak in for much more of the game on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it this fixture only, or will it be an ongoing thing with Everton away (on the basis they stay up) Fair question. I know it's not what you're getting at, but for me it's a no-brainer until he's proven on merit that he's the best available option for the team. Can't see how Joelinton or Murphy get dropped after the weekend, and if Murphy did get dropped or rested then Almiron would be the better option for me. Once he's an invaluable member of the team then it's a conversation to have, but now it would seem like weakening the starting xi just to poke the bear.

geordiesteve710 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 The Everton fans I know are mainly sound but as a fanbase they can get a bit odd if things don't go their way. There's definitely more of an "edgy" atmosphere in the pubs when we play Everton away compared to Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need wins, if we beat them tonight I think there’s a good chance they are down. Bournemouth Southampton tonight has no good outcomes for them if they lose.

If last year's experience hasn't prepared us for what we will face then I don't know what else would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 We're just so much better than we were last year and they're a decent bit worse. I know anything can happen in are league, but it would be a genuine upset for them to win. It all just smacks of an uber professional away performance by Eddie's Magic Mags, to me, depending on how charitable Marriner's feeling towards the Toffees.

timeEd32 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Not a must-win from a points standpoint, but it is for the nerves. I have no doubt we'll take care of Southampton on Sunday. A win tonight and I'll be looking more at the possibility of 3rd than the fear of 5th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
