Everton (A) - Sat 19th April, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 15:00 (BST).

Last game at Goodison for us, one of their last games, should be a good atmosphere.

Probably a must win or at the least a must not lose.

Neither of the above, teams in the mix will drop points left right and centre over the next few weeks

 

[N1985]

Going to be a very tough game this.

Like who?
The only points dropped may be when they are playing each other

 

[Manchester_lalala]

I think a point would be a good result.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Moyes has made Everton a really difficult team to beat since he has arrived, It's going to be a tough game for us.

A draw wouldn't be the worst result, Hopefully we can do enough to get a massive all three points.

Ortega

Nunes
Dias
Gvardiol
O'Reilly

Nico Gonzalez
Kovavic
De Bruyne

Savinho
Doku
Marmoush

 

[Newman Noggs]

Same side again. Obviously Eddie will be out injured.

 

[Eaststander1]

Won't be easy for us ... Everton are a dogged side, as they showed in their impressive late win at Forest today.

Draw probably.

Are you joking, have you seen the games Chelsea, Villa and Newcastle have left?

Even if they win all the games where they don't play each other, that would be a ridiculous achievement.

Forest have lost their last two, Chelsea dropped points last week

The group of teams in the hunt for CL places are the best part of 20 points off the top because they’re inconsistent and have been dropping points all season.

So as the pressure in the league mounts and most of the teams have big cup games to deal with too it’s only sensible to assume that points will be dropped willy nilly

I've seen the fixtures and Newcastle should be ok.
The hardest match Villa have is against us and that could be the defining match.

Villa have to play Newcastle next. Hardly a gimmee

Hopefully they both lose

I'm thinking Newcastle are going to get top 3.
If we beat Villa, or vice versa, it will decide a top 5 finish.
I'm ruling Chelsea out, based on their fixtures.

Newcastle play Brighton away, Chelsea and Arsenal

They've also got United tomorrow which will be far from a walkover

Villa have the easier games, but had a goal difference of zero before today, so clearly can't be trusted to win all the games they'll need to

Its going to be interesting.
I suppose all we can do is win our games
Today's match confused me as I genuinely thought it was our weakest starting team this season.

The capitulation in the first half of the first half certainly looked that way, however it proved what getting our foot in showed what we can do.

Haven’t Newcastle got to go to Villa arsenal and Brighton away and hot chelsea at home? Hardly a doddle?

The rags could do us a favour tomorrow, even a draw.
They have 2 games in hand on us and I suppose it depends on how well they do in those 2 games
A few draws wouldn't go amiss.

 

[PragueBlue]

Would be nice to see the same team and the same performance as today. If so, we win.
