The absolute biggest mistake we can do in this game is to sit too deep to often as it will allow them to put crosses in way too often. Taking the game to them is the best way to go.

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 

One of the biggest steals in PL history that :lol:

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.


We had no striker at Bournemouth. 
Bruno wasn’t playing and we are still yet to win a league game without him. 
The squad seemed even more stretched at the time and fatigue would have been even more of a factor after coming back from Germany midweek. 
 

Our away form has been patchy at best this season. With some mitigating circumstances and excuses. But I’m really not sure what relevance Bournemouth has to this game other than it being our last away league game?

 

It won’t be the same players that show up tonight. The performance won’t be that bad, either. If it is, then we’re fucked. As we’d lose to basically everyone in the league playing like that :lol:

Had no business getting any points from that match. :lol: Is that Gordon celebrating the first Everton goal warming up?

Think everyone's leaning far too much into the Everton is bad at home narrative. They've 1) been better recently and 2) generally been either unlucky and/or bad at finishing.

 

In their first five games they lost four and drew against Sheffield United (three home losses). Since the last of those defeats (1-0 at home to Arsenal on Sept. 17) they've played the following at Goodison:

 

L 1-2 v Luton

2.90xG v. 0.89xG

 

W 3-0 v Bournemouth

2.49xG v 0.69xG

 

W 3-0 v Burnley (LC)

1.86xG v 0.07xG

 

D 1-1 v. Brighton

0.71xG v. 0.51xG

 

L 0-3 Man United

2.47xG v. 2.22xG (1.43xG v. 0.09xG in the first half)

 

In that time period they are 10th in xG and 4th in xGA (we are first in both for those wondering :coolsmiley:). They are 7th and 5th respectively when only looking at home matches.

 

Overall since that Arsenal game they have played 9 league games resulting in 5W, 1D, 3L. They've also won two cup games, including Villa away. 

 

We're going to need to be on it tonight.

This is how we didn't get relegated.:lol: This is the "Bruce took the same amount of points as Benitez" stuff.:lol: Didn't we do this to Chelsea aswell? An insane robbery I think. I think it was a 94th minute 1-0 winner after they were smashing us all game but wasted all their chances.

Going to replay this scene a few times to get myself in the mood for this evening:

 

 

 
How have I never seen that? [emoji38]

 

‘Fuck off you, ya blert’ when he’s climbing onto the pitch. ‘Get him done’ when that bloke gets his knife out. [emoji38]

Albeit not for a while, but compared to Everton we've played a lot more regularly in the 'Uefa whatever it was called at the time ' on a Thursday night so surely our WoaTn (Wins on a Thursday night) stat is much better, therefore makes us favourites?
