I watched them against Palace, and while it was away, they were very conservative and wanted to counter attack. I think the same will be true here alongside a threat from set pieces. It’ll be a good test for our lot, and we have to avoid anything like the Villa showing. I think we'll have more time to play our game as they don't press like Villa, they'll sit back and hope to hit us on the break. But again, I don't think they've got anyone like Watkins who really gave us a hard time with his pace. They aren't going to beat us with their crowd hostility, whatever their glue-sniffing fans think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to turn it up for when we’re there. Like Villa fans, these have a weird hatred towards us (even before the Saudi takeover). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I was worried going into the Villa game because I could see they had the quality to come out of the traps against us and cause us problems. I just don't see that with Everton. If they decide to come at us, we will pick them apart. So their only choice is to sit back and try and soak up our pressure. It will take us a while to get through but once we do, it will be all over. 0-2 Isak, Joelinton..... Also we should stick with the same side for this and change it for Southampton, if we feel necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Same feelings @STM, Villa was a very different situation. If anything, our higher confidence after Spurs should allow us to keep possession and probe quite happily if they sit back. Not an easy game but I am confident.

Shak Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Think Isak in particular was taken off early against Spurs with Eddie having one eye on this fixture. I'll be absolutely floored if there are any changes to the starting team for this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your point but if we’re professional enough to play games instead of occasions and focus on what we’re doing ourselves, Everton should not be considered tougher than Arsenal.

Arsenal are also one of the few sides who outplayed us this season, even if we got a draw from it. Can't see Everton going toe to toe with us and coming out on top. They'll have to turn it into a dogfight to have any chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Just been onto that grand old team forum.... It's just like RTG isn't it? Lots of name calling and arguing.

STM Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I mean there's one of them that said "I hope they have used their weekly goal allowance". No wonder Everton are shite if they think they have a limited number of goals that they can score. Unlike Villa 2 weeks ago, where I said that I wanted our strange rivalry to end, I feel the absolute opposite towards these lot. They are like Blue rats. Scum of the earth. The mere notion of an Evertonian, makes me more fond of Liverpool, which takes some doing because I don't like them either. Would love nowt better to give these lot a right pasting and send them into the championship. Let's see how loyal their fans are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
