OCK Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Yeah, my mind always associates Everton away as a loss. No idea what the actual record is. what. They can't be right. These stat sites just make shit up I'm sure Edited December 7, 2023 by OCK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Remember when Lejeune scored twice in the last minute to give us a honking draw there Pickford was closer to the Mersey River than he was the goalline for the equaliser Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely dismal in the years either side of Hatem's missile. Wor Jonesy masterminded a win during the Covid season then there was last season's hilarity. We'll be up against it tonight. Would definitely take a draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 One of my first away games as a young'un was the game Thomas Gravesen pretty much assaulted Olivier Bernard and then they went up the other end and scored the winner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMcQuillan Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) They've not been good at home this season, for whatever reason. Home: Won 1 (Bournemouth) Drawn 1 (Brighton) Lost 5 (Manchester United, Luton, Arsenal, Wolves, Fulham) Away: Won 4 (Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace, West Ham, Brentford) Drawn 1 (Sheffield United) Lost 2 (Liverpool, Aston Villa) Edited December 7, 2023 by ChrisMcQuillan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I'd be disappointed with a draw tbh. I know it's a tough place to win, but I'd be expecting Liverpool or Villa to come out of there with three points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost to Luton, Fulham, wolves already at home Aye which is a bit of an odd one really. Our away form isn't great either mind. Hope it's an easier game than I anticipate.

Ikon Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) I would also be disappointed with a draw. We are more than good enough to win if our attitude and mentality is right. We have had like 5 days rest too. Go for their throats! 1-4. If we wanna be up in the top 4 we have to get more points away. I bet Howe and the team won't be happy with a draw, and rightly so.

STM Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 They missing DCL? If so, I'd fancy us. Also feel like we are in a different place mentally, to what we were at Bournemouth. Not having a striker, killed us that day. I have a suspicion that we might have 1 body back tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I agree If we can't go away to bottom half teams and win we won't challenge for top four. Most of this is down to our injuries though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 We must be supremely confident, surely. We have injuries but we've had time to rest and the team we can put out is class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose its an interesting one with Longstaff, do we put him straight back in? If Miley wasn't 17 you'd say no argument for him loosing his place really. He's came in performed well and done the job and I feel a lot more is to come with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 A point wouldn't be a bad outcome, like, when you consider what happened at Bournemouth. We're playing out of our skins atm; we can't expect these same lads to keep churning out unreal performances week after week after week. Top four this season is one hell of an expectation, like. To retain that place with all our additional challenges and the improvements of the likes of Spurs, Villa and Liverpool would be an outrageous achievement.

It would be yet we're currently only 4 points off it with a game in hand, have had a really hard fixture list and been massively hampered by injuries many of which are due back soon. We're 100% in the fight for top 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted it barely has so far, despite everything. Cos we've got a set of legends in the dressing room. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Same as the last couple, if we get to the 60 minute mark ahead, we'll win. If we fall behind and are still behind at 60, we'll likely lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos we've got a set of legends in the dressing room. Oh aye I'm full prepared that we could finish anywhere in the top 6/7 this season and I'd still be over the moon. We're watching good football can compete and beat anyone on our day and are taking the cups seriously. I just want to enjoy it and try and win something. However I also don't think anyone's that much better than us this season if we had everyone fit. Everyone's raving this morning calling villa title contenders, I think we're better.

Optimistic Nut Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Could have done without this game coming now tbh. A full week between Man U and Spurs would have been nice so we could give that and Milan all we have. One of the next two I think we will lose.

I would say that the circumstances for this game compared to Bournemouth away is very very different to say at least. For the better now. 1st team is stronger, more confident as well as 5 days rest.
