This should be relatively straightforward, the new manager bounce not withstanding.
The starting xi picks itself, unless Partey is not fit enough to start and Lokonga takes his place.
Yep that's the one, appalling decision as to how he wasn't sent off for this (or carded for that matter).I don’t know if this was our worst game last year but it bothered me like no other. Ugly ugly game and that lizard (who went to Tots) scoring still haunts me. Is this the game where Tomi got a foot to the face? No red, no yellow?
4-1 COYG !!
Was an amazing player but he had started to decline near the end for us. We got rid at right time IMO (well we should have sold to City for £60m) it's just we didn't replace his qualityShould have stayed with us, it all went to hell afterwards. You don't know what you have got till its gone.
Really feel results this weekend will be key in who wins the title, we just need to win no matter how or what!
I am not gonna be greedy here...
...just an EXACT repeat of this score line is all I ask for
Hope you are right mate and we batter them.I just don't see it.I don't agree. 2-0 westham, 2-1 southhampton, 4-1 brighton in the last 3 games. they did get 1-1 vs City though. First march with new manager surely increases their margin of error
I have an exam starting in in about an hour, going to miss 15 min of the game. Really sucks, not missed a minute of PL football in years. Hopefully we have an early lead when I'm done. Wish me luck, and let's ****ing go and win this one.
Watched whole of Dyche press conference. This will be very tough game. Their players and crowd will be up for this
I remember how few years ago when we hosted Everton at Emirates, they were so sensational in 1st half that God knows how they didn't score. They were so dominating that it was a shocking surprise as they were just about starting up with Roberto Martinez.
We managed to go ahead in 2nd half through Özil iirc, but then they kept pressing in our box and Delofeu equalized with a powerful shot.
Now that Everton are languishing in relegation zone, that team (Barkley, Delofeu, Lukaku, Mirallas etc.) was so much better than the dross they have now.
Having said that, we could drop points as the new manager bounce factor could hit us unexpectedly.
3 pts and no injuries please
Dyche or not, nobody is bullying a team that has Gabriel, Saliba, White, Xhaka, Partey. Even our young wingers win headers and battles for the ball. We’ll do the bullying, thank you very much.
The martinez goal was the only header scored against us this season in the PLI'd like to see Trossard start today, get the feeling Everton will sit deep. So i'd rather have martinelli coming off the bench against tired legs than start him against a low block.
Yeah glad we're not that team anymore. Actually look good on defensive set pieces these days as well. Could never say that about a wenger team post 2006 or whatever.
Does anyone here actually think this is a hard game? or just worried cause race is actually real? Confidence vs united but not vs Everton? They are 19th for a reason. We've played well like EVERY game this season.
Worrying posts in this thread honestly, feels like posts 5 years ago.
