Everton (A) - Sun 14th May, 14:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Protein Junkie]

In an ideal world I’d like to see the spine rested - John Boy, Ruben, KDB and the Cyborg.
We need the pressure back on the Tarquins however.
Really don’t want a last day nerve shredder again.

Or...

We lose at Everton to a last minute Michael Keane goal, Madrid beat us 4-3 after we were 3-0 going into stoppage time and Sterling scores a hat trick next weekend…

No?

It really is in-cred-I-ble considering where we were in January

Incredible?
I’d say that we’re doing very well but that, from what we’ve all seen with our own eyes in the history we’ve all lived through, where we now are is there or thereabouts par for the course and, yes, very credible.
We were in the same 3 comps in January, probably odds on favourites in each and IMO the only mildly surprising thing (definitely not incredible) is that the mighty Arse have dropped some points.
Incredible? Nah mate.
IMO it’s great, fantastic, wonderful to be here with so many finishing lines just in front of us but we’ve not actually won Jack shit yet and I recon you’re the only one of our support who truly can’t believe that we’re still in with a good shout in 3 comps.

Win tommorrow and the pressure on Arsenal will be huge, i think we should go strong, not the time to be tinkering too much, we are in a much better position than last year, maybe bench Stones and Grealish and bring in Foden and Laporte.

Personally I think he will make more than that. Mahrez, Alvarez, Laporte, Foden will all play I think and possibly Lewis.

He will have to keep Akanji out if there is any doubt about Ake for Wed.

Yes I want full strength tomorrow, champions league can wait till Wednesday comes around.

I know it’s a statement of the obvious but I’ll say it anyway.
If we lose tomorrow we can still win the league/it’s in our own hands. Lose on Wednesday and we can’t win the CL.
If we had zero wriggle room in the PL I might have taken a more nuanced view.

@Dr Jacoby mate, there’s no reply I can give to that really cos it’s just 2 different opinions innit?!

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Early finish on the Sunday, back in Manchester for dinner and massage. Monday a shake out day and maybe an afternoon off before talking tactics and prepping for the game.

Go has strong as is needed tomorrow and if that means making 5 subs when we are ahead then so be it.

How many police do you need at a singing contest ffs, it's not like it's being held by the EDL, probably don't want to miss out on a bit of dancing and skateboarding

Need to guard against the Bucks Fizz coach being vandalised.

True! Just have a horrible feeling that Arsenal will pip us in the title race if we fail to win tomorrow.

Lol, good gif.

Maybe, but my take is that even if the worst happened tomorrow, if we were to win on Wednesday, the levels of positivity and adrenaline running through the club and the squad afterwards would mean we’d definitely blast through and win those last 3 league games on the bounce. The self-belief would be off the scale.

Imho ;-)

Just 5 goals in 4 games needed!!!!!

Not being funny but they are not exactly doing a 44 hour week working so a 90 minute Game on Sunday and one on Wednesday is doable . They get paid alot of money to
Be able to play these games one after another.

They do but you know what Pep is like. I still see a lot of changes.

 

[silvathechihuahua]

pep will see us through again he’s the best there is !

 

[balotellishaircut]

Let’s get the fireworks going outside the RM hotel Tuesday night, I know it’s bin dipper like but I just can’t stand these cunts.

 

[WestGorton]

I am expecting to win.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Looking at the Madrid team tonight they rested Kroos , Modric , Vinicius , Carvajal ,Alaba , Rodrygo , Benzema , Rudiger for a dead rubber game against Getafe , they also have an extra 24 hours recovery which Pep was not happy about.
Our squad isnt the massive three players per position the media like to spout , we probably have a nucleus of 16 players who have played a lot of games this season , so half a dozen changes against Everton would not be a surprise.
