Not seeing Isak in the training photos?

Botman wasn’t in last weeks, wouldn’t read too much into it. The club are sneaky mcsneaksters and I’m down with it.

I honestly think it's that our fixture is being taken as a given. Forest and Chelsea is definitely the correct choice and I'm guessing they're thinking that it's between them and Villa, whereas us and Man City has less jeopardy. Not that I agree with that assessment, but that's what I'd guess the reasoning is.  

I agree that’s the logic but it could easily backfire and ensure they end up with the dead game should us and Chelsea be winning easy. Or Villa could have it wrapped up early and it would be a case of turn over and see what’s happening at forest.

Craig Hope says Isak 50-50 to play this weekend.

Claims it's a groin/muscle injury and clubs hoping he'll be fine to play

That's it, like. 5 years ago as a neutral in the CL race, I'd not really want to watch 4th place Spurs at home to an on-the-beach bottom-half Everton over the 5th to 7th placed teams going for it.

Botman's been in training all week and will be fine to play.

 

Big boost.

Wonder who will be benched or if Howe would go with Burn at LB and Livra at RB…

I'm more interested in how we are going to execute our plan without him. We need to be prepared and not pinning our hopes on a whim and a prayer.

I hope not.

Crackers to move Burn left back

Does Howe strike you as a whim and a prayer type of bloke?

I'm talking about us as fans, desperately hoping Isak will be passed fit. Even if he's not we need to know we can win this. It's Everton at home without their two best centre backs.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

It’s a wing and a prayer.

If we play him and he's not fit but can only play for an hour or is clearly knackered then the only option is lob in Wilson most probably from start and Osula if all is not going  well with Wilson

Either way, we really don't want this season to end as a damp squid.

Just put a little £20 safety bet on us not finishing top 4. Would have gone top 5 but couldn't find a market.

 

Goes with my safety bet(s) on Sunderland getting promoted. If the worst case scenario happens this weekend at least I'm financially compensated for it.

5/2 Everton double chance which is basically the same as us not getting top 5. Either way you win or we get top 5. Got a nice chunk on the mackems pre playoffs at 5/2 which I obviously hope I lose .

Zero chance Burn plays LB like. Hasn’t played there all season and in that video that came out recently he was talking about how he’s deliberately put weight on to help his strength at CB, and as a result he thinks he’d probably struggle getting up and down at LB.

It’s so wild to me how crap the coverage is over there, where the games are actually being played. We have all the games live here. And even a RedZone-style broadcast.
