I saw the RS in the second division. Started off in their boys pen which was horrible and graduated to the terraces. It was fun watching and supporting the away sides. I got thumped twice for making it too obvious. They were down for years and years.

Its a must not lose kind of game. A draw and it keeps the points board ticking over.

Though I fancy us to win this one, I think the players will be looking at this one and the Derby and be thinking 2 good results puts us in a strong spot for Europe with 5 game to go.

More confident us being away from home but feel like we might get stung on the counter a bit.

Luvvin' this and the general good vibes and confidence around the Blues. Overdue.

UTFT.

Massive game, we have to win.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Can't believe we are playing again so soon after the Chelsea game!
Fancy us to pull off a 0-1 win here. They have a strong experienced midfield, tempting for Moyes to play a 3 or keep McNeil in for defensive duties.

56 in August for me.

63 for me!

Cahill. Big Dunc became a bit of a liability towards the end as refs were always looking for slightest slip up from him as an excuse to send him off, it got so ridiculous, when it was clear he was the one who was been fouled refs would send him off accusing him of doing the fouling, against himself. All decisions went against him.

Would love him back in the coaching set-up. Think as an attacking coach he'd be top

Not sure that I would now, but for me, he was the best that we have had in the PL era.

Farai Hallam appointed referee for Everton vs Brentford​

The Premier League have appointed Farai Hallam as the referee for Everton’s clash against Brentford.

Hallam will be joined by the following officials.

• Assistants: Simon Bennett, Steve Meredith
• Fourth official: Andy Madley
• VAR: Michael Salisbury
• Assistant VAR: Adrian Holmes

The young referee has never actually officiated an Everton match, in fact, he’s only refereed two Premier League games in his short career.

We can get a result here we are playing better away from home

Definitely one of the strangest pre - match posts I've seen before.

Its one game at a time from now until the end of the season...as in reality it always is.You're not 'only as good as your last game', thats history now.

The fact is - You're only as good as your next game!

It all depends on how Moyes gets out of bed on the day.
He's found an 11 that works and baring injuries he should stick with it.

As we've seen with some 1st half performances, its all about how he sets the team up,

Does he put on his old man 'no accidents' pants - or reach for his VIZ-esque Moyeses & his Magic Mojo Must Win Big Boys pants

In your own time Davy - No Pressure.

This is our problem we have seen two great sides and judge everything by that . We also saw Liverpool in the second division ,well not saw them but read the Echo !

Very true. Never thought of it from that perspective.

And the 2008 team that lost on penalties to Fiorentina. Felt they would’ve gone on to do a lot more but for that result. Hope it’s still unfinished business in Europe for the Moyesiah with this current team.

 

[WA Toffee]

Win our next 2 games and we will be in the Champions league spots with 5 games to play.

Let's start with a comfortable 2-0 win here please

We've got to be bumming that Thiago. He's a very good player, but Tarkowski and Branthwaite (hopefully) are more than good enough to nullify him.

Hopefully 'Hendo' starts and Jam Garner can show him what a quality central midfielder looks like. Beto will rightfully keep his place up front.

I do believe that Keane will start though, and ultimately who can argue with sticking with a side that dominated Chelsea from first to last.

Therefore:
Brentford 0-2 Everton
Ndiaye, Beto
