Tomorrow's atmosphere in Madrid will put us in good stead for a screaming Goodison on Sunday.
Will be interesting between now and then how many times the media fronted by Neville bring up Rodri's handball from last season though
Burnley and Sunderland played that game for years, it eventually caught up with them both.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!!
No, because that'd mean thinking positively about the situation.By extension of your logic, doesn’t that performance make the Brighton game a lot easier?
No but Everton actually have never been relegated. The other 2 have spent a lot of time in the lower divisions.Burnley and Sunderland played that game for years, it eventually caught up with them both.
It reads to me it's that football isn't about possession but scoring goals & taking chancesI assume the point was that Everton may well have only 24% possession against us
They have. Once.No but Everton actually have never been relegated. The other 2 have spent a lote If time in the lower divisiones.
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.
Why would this result make them attack?On a plus point, at least Everton will attack rather than siting back and defending. And City aren’t Brighton.
Rewind 12 months.But there’s no denying today’s result at Brighton has given the Everton players a massive physiological boost and self believe. Another defeat today would have compounded their belief in not winning enough of their remaining games to stay up.
Why would this result make them attack?
All their goals were from counters which is the same thing they would do.
The 40 points mantra certainly seems to be a thing of the past. Last time it was required was 2010/11.Think this result helps us. Dyche would have looked at remaining games and targeted their games against Wolves and Bournemouth as where they would have picked points up. Anything against Brighton and us would have been a bonus but now the pressure on them to get even a point against us been diluted somewhat. Their fans think think they have done enough already to stay up, we score first on Sunday we win comfortably but their fans won’t be as pissed as they know they have two easier games to follow. 35 points might be enough to stay up this year, fat Sam reckoned 34 would see Leeds stay up!
Rewind 12 months.
You were saying everything you're saying now back then.
Come on.
We're going for the treble, we have a fully fit squad (hopefully stays that way) the players, manager & club want it and they know what to do.
Let's beat Madrid then concentrate on Sunday
Ye I think you called me a wanker at 1 point haha.Fucking hell mate, you’ve got a good memory. Care to elaborate? :-)
All I’m saying is today’s result will give the Everton players and their fans more belief that they can get a result, even a draw against City on Sunday. I’m not saying Everton will do that. But today’s performance and victory at Brighton has given the Everton players a massive physiological boost.
Ye I think you called me a wanker at 1 point haha.
All good.
I know what you're saying mate I think every scenario over in my head it drives me nuts ha.
