Match Thread Everton v Brentford. Preview, Match Report and MotM poll

[Marius57]

Agree that we need to freshen it up - highly controversial but i'd bring Gomes in for this- he was excellent against these in the cup - we cant have two holding mids in this

------------Pickford
Coleman Keane Holgate Mickey
-----Iwobi Delph Gomes
---Gordon DCL Richarlison

That midfield made me throw up a bit

 

[blue to the bone]

A point gained is your opinion. I don't trust this team and our next game is against a team with a world class player in Erikson. We should have sealed safety when it was presented for us yesterday.

We are now well in a relegation scrap when it didn't need to be like that. That's why 'some of us' aren't very happy.

It's like when some fans on here were cheering Leeds beating Watford a few weeks back. It was quite baffling but some people just seem to think the teams who are down there will just lose. Then Burnley won 2 and drew 1. We purposefully played for a draw yesterday, it was visible in the body language and manager reaction. And now we have the anxiety of hoping that this team can win 2 home games against 2 teams are better than us because at Arsenal we are getting Jack Diddly.

Change your nappy

My thinking is the previous game against Brentford, he was brilliant that day - crap ever since like - we simply cant have two deep CMs when we need to get on the ball, completely different game to the United/Chelsea/Leicester ones

Can't wait for this.

My 3rd visit to Goodison.. first was in 2009 when we beat Wigan 4-0, second was in 2017 when we beat Leicester 4-2 (with tom davies scoring after 30 seconds). Not expecting us to score 4 this time, I would take a scrappy 1-0 all day!

Hoping that Brighton can do us a favour and we can wrap up our survival this weekend. UTFT!

This is usually the case, but there are exceptions. Let's hope for an interesting game

Finally a game where the good folk of GOT can relax at little.

Fixed.

* Not a chance lol

We've already beaten them 4-1 at Goodison this season.

I mean, I know nothing is guaranteed and we should've won yesterday, too... but that's a good omen, isn't it?

Watford was a little disappointing but it was a point gained

A point gained is your opinion.

A point gained is fact.

Is it a fireworks outside the hotel kinda night?

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

We must not lose this game. I hope we don't change the system. Back 3 with wingbacks, 2 holding in midfield. If Delph is tired, play Allan. Any tinkering should be witht he front 3 who are not delivering. Not gettiing a goal at Watford is a clear performance issue.
worries me to say it but I would be ok with a point here if Leeds lose.

I had completely forgot about the cup game and was going to question when. How a promising cup run can so easily lost in a mirade of terrible experriences is quite sad indeed.

Leeds have a 14:00 kick off so we will know what is needed as a draw could actually be enough to keep us up if Leeds lose. Anyway, just win the game please

This is why I'm gappy with the draw last night, I want us to earn safety in front of the crowd
