can’t expect them to gift us this

they will be full of confidence and their fans will be bouncing

please please just give us something on the line for the last home game

All about perspective , would many blues have accepted a top 10 finish being comfortable all season ,would most blues have accepted a 3-3 draw with Man City yes of course , but watching Brentford / Brighton/ Bournemouth all eclipse us feels a wasted opportunity to propel us quickly into European football, it’s now or never they should take confidence by how they went at Manchester city on Monday

I don't get the low expectations argument, I mean you don't make a statement signing like Jack Grealish without expecting to challenge higher up the table. Even Moyes admitted he was targeting Europe this season so why would fans be happy to accept mid-table? It's no wonder we've been mediocre for so long with that kind of mindset

Honestly, might not be "Nil Satis Nisi Optimum" enough for some, but I'm just glad we're not kakking ourselves about the drop for a change. I'm going to enjoy the last few games (as much as I can). COYB's!!!!

Quite excited you know, end of season hasn't been like this in many years.

Ditto. I’m frustrated that we aren’t higher and have dropped needless points, but then I have to remind myself of the transformation.

And it is a transformation: we’re no longer relegation candidates and our success and failures are based on us, rather than worrying about others.

Also Moyes attained a solid 31 points last season arriving in the second half of the season with an inferior squad to this current one, so he created the expectations for a decent finish to the current season. He should be building of his success of last season especially with further investment

….think we have to win 2 of the last 3 to have a chance, obviously that becomes more difficult with a loss today.

Just settled in for a couple of pints pre-match at London Bridge.

I wonder what rendition of the Moyesy Cokey I will emerge to post match?

“In out, in out, rah,rah,rah”

I think you already know the answer to that regardless of the result

What were your expectations before the season started.
Where did you predict us to finish ?

 

[Clarky cat]

Really need to be snapping in to tackles and to be aggressive but fair, none of these Palace players will fancy missing their cup final. If there was ever a game that Everton need to start fast and positive in, it’s this one. I believe we will need a minimum of 2 wins from our last 3 for Europe (Never catching Bournemouth or Brighton now) and this is probably our best chance of getting the first win. Please do not repeat the cagey nonsense we saw at West Ham ffs!. COYB!

It was a window Probably 7th to 9th place all dependent if he could operate like last season when he came in
