Everton (h) pre-match thread

[SWP's back]

And if you look at him in games you'll see that he's not just a set piece threat. Scored from open play against us in our last game against Swansea.

Yeah I do watch him in games. His threat, as stated, is mainly from set plays as discussed in Totally Football podcast and Guardian Football's podcast.

Rags have won it anyway so it's all irrelevant already.

Don't be soft, we can still get second place

what city centre pubs open late on a Monday?

Pep failed to win any Everton game last season.

Shit 1-1 draw at home even tho we dominated a lot and had lot of chances but missed so much of them like usually...

Then he went to the Goodison and and lost 4-0 (!), we were awful and horrible.

Surely another dissapointing result agains them cannot happen again. We need 6 points out of 6 so far, no excuses.

 

[stonerblue]

Just snagged a ticket for this so deffo 4-0.

Can see this being a hard fought and ground out win 2.0

I would like to see us actually put away the ridiculous amount of chances we make me keep a clean sheet. Lay down a marker for the rest to see. Everton aren't easy to beat and they'll have the bus in attendance. Time to show our class and destroy them.

I want to see a fast start and tempo,both of which we didn't get much of last year and not take till the 2nd half to get going

Totally agree with you

Better a slow rhythmic start, rising to a climactic crescendo.

We've never lost our first game of the season at the etihad ...

And we wont tomorrow it'll be 3 or 5 nil

For me this is the type of game that we should see Peps tactical nouse coming to the fore, he is recognised as being one of the best in the business and having only picked up 1 point from 6 last year i am sure he will have a plan.

Although I am confident of a win I still have a nagging worry that we may draw this one. As stated before we need a strong start with a high tempo.

 

[Charlesfarsbar]

And we wont tomorrow it'll be 3 or 5 nil

Yep , they have no pace on the break to worry about

Revenge for last seasons aberrations

 

[ojeme]

Lol!!!

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Osman, Cahill and Lukaku usually score against us. Thankfully none of them play for Everton anymore.

I'm going for a hard-fought 2-1 win.

Oh well done
