Everton (A) - Mon 4th May, 20:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Not controversial but I think the “oooh that’s a tough away fixture” is a cliche trotted out often enough by media numpties with regard to certain fixtures that it can sink into the general psyche despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary

That's a fair point!

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

Early goal is crucial, just hope we don’t do what we did at Burnley :-/, could ideally do with winning by 2or3 tonight, (all 10 fingers & 2 thumbs are crossed) :)

 

[yankblue]

I’m just pointing out that Everton away is now really a brand new fixture that we have never faced

Fair point! Hopefully we're celebrating a big win in a few hours. I do think we take all 3 points here

 

[theholysmurf]

Can’t say I’m as confident as some on here but 3 points is key. Everton away is a big banana skin.

 

[levets]

Must win, any win… just get 3 points

 

[gray740]

Do it for Eccles .

Got a feeling this is going to be a frustrating night,

I hope you win the league, but I cannot wish my team to lose.

Fair enough r kid. Just been having the exact same conversation with my Evertonion pal.

Happy with the front 4 but no Rodri is not ideal.

Can see it being Kovacic

huge game but we had the time to prepare well. Rack up a few goals after early lead. Less than a win and the title is likely gone. Huge pressure but our form is the best we had all season especially the defence which struggled a lot earlier.

100%.

It's not like it's City and the Dippers going head to head, It's Arsenal and City so Everton won't really mind when it comes to the title race.

Everton are pushing for Europe so they'll need a win tonight, Tough game for us, I think we will win but it's going to be tough.

I can't wish you luck, any other week I can :)

A Moyes team so it's bound to be.

 

[samuelyeboah]

hopefully we see rodri again this season. huge blow.

I really like Kovacic but not as a 6.

 

[ancoats]

We should be right up for this ? If somebody at Christmas gave Pep and the City players the chance of winning the title with 4 games to play, I think, Sorry, I know we would have bitten your hand off

That was a nice title dream we had once

Need Gonzalez to have the game of his life.

Garner will eat him alive with the time he takes on the ball

we saw Kovacic and Bernardo partnership last season and it was horrific.
