The Title Race 2022/23

Honestly, that result today does worry me.
It gives Everton belief they can frustrate us and hit on the counter. Does that remind anyone of a game earlier this season??
Everton fans might not like that in a home game, but if it works they won't care.
Let's get tomorrow out of the way - still one game at a time

Is it a good thing that Everton are winning? Surely it will make them believe they can beat City at Goodison? An already tricky game has become a lot harder.

By extension of your logic, doesn’t that performance make the Brighton game a lot easier?

How often do you see it happen a team gets a hiding then next game the pull off a great result and vice Verda a team pulls off a great result then does shite next game

That Everton result there is perfect for us

Correct! :-)

If we beat get a good result at Real tomorrow it will have exactly the same effect as Everton's victory , we will be bouncing on Sunday if we have one foot in the Champs league final.
Alternatively if we fail tomorrow our players will be even more determined to clinch the league , all about what happens on the day , even a draw at Everton will have the Goons all giddy , so we need to stamp out any optimism in North London

Everton were never getting relegated; they never do.
Had they lost tonight, they would have needed to win 2 from 3 to avoid the drop, which they would have done as they always escape.
As they won tonight they only need one win from 3.
Thus our chances of winning at Goodison have just gone up!!

Well there goes the myth to some on here that brighton are prime barcelona

I think people get caught up in the hype because they play pretty football.
55 points at this stage of the season tells you everything you need to know.

On a plus point, at least Everton will attack rather than siting back and defending. And City aren’t Brighton.

You won't see City have 24% possession anytime soon so nothing worth taking not of.

I assume the point was that Everton may well have only 24% possession against us

Imagine if we’d won ten league games in a row, we would have gone to Goodison with even more confidence than they have now.
