Everton may not even risk playing calvert-lewin against us given his injury record of late as they may see the last two games as the better ones to use him. Some say free hit against us but it might be one they rotate thinking of the remaining two.
However carry on like we have been and none of matters anyway.
 
Forest have thrown a spanner in to the works with that win tonight. They know 1 more win, maybe at home against Arsenal, will guarantee PL safety.

Chelsea away, Arsenal home, Palace away. Would be great if Forest beat or draw with Arsenal at home to secure PL survival and a pitch invasion.

And.

There were rumours before the West Ham game that Moyes was going to rest players against us. Lo and behold a sickness bug kept out Rice and Soucek. West Ham still did ok and tried to keep us out but ultimately succumbed. Something similar could be on the cards. Dyche would probably take a draw after todays result.

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.

If it makes them believe and tgo for a win, I'm all for it.

I think what's arguably worse is it giving them points to now play for just a draw. Would much rather they tried to win.
 
This is why the title run in is never easy. Teams are fighting for their lives for various reasons. I expected a comfortable Brighton win yet they were battered.

I thought the Arsenal trip to Forest would be tough, and their home game with Brighton. But Brighton were awful last night and Forest could be pretty much safe by the time they play them.

A long way to go still and I remain nervous. I can't shake the feeling, we have always come out on top on these run ins so maybe this time we won't. But I always feel like that and Pep and the squad keep performing because he is so good. So it's slightly irrational. 3pts next weekend will help. I would appreciate it if Arsenal could drop a few more points too though!
 
No way will we bottle it from here, Arsenal will push us all the way but we will do what we have to do.
There will obviously be a few stresses along the way but we will prevail.
 
It's interesting we have games vs teams that defeated us in the weeks before the CL final in 2021: Leeds, Chelsea and Brighton. We won vs Leeds on Saturday. We should beat Chelsea and Brighton, win the PL and win...the CL this time around.

Who knows, maybe it's better for us to compete for the PL till the last week of the season than win it with games to spare...

Also, the last time we won all league games in March and April we won the domestic Treble...It's time for the other Treble :)

Precisely, the fact that we have to win games in the league and play in a FA Cup final may help us in the CL.
 
I dont know why some people saying the everton result is good for us because they will be less desperate... i actually think its more worse for us because they have renewed hope if they lost yesterday then they would of HAD to win when they played us and probably been more open(which would of suit us) now that they won they could afford to draw and be ultra defensive ether way you look at it everton will still be fighting to avoid regulation.
 
If you read the Leeds post match and Premier League matches threads…

Everton? Who the f..k are Everton?
4th from bottom of the EPL, that's who they are. We are just about to play the CL champions and probably THE best team in Europe and people are worried about f..king Everton. Grow up.
