To quote a famous lager company... Probably..

Won’t be a hiding, it’ll be a 1-2 goal defeat at best. Chelsea have rarely done that at Goodison, only time being that madcap 6-3 game that Eto’o debuted in. Having some semblance of a crowd back will be a boost for the players

 

[Saaby]

Their pace is terrifying. Its going to be a joy watch our CBs try and keep up with Werner.

We can't afford to carry James for 90 minutes

I'm guessing we will be sitting so deep it won't be an issue. Hope I'm wrong..

Gomes is approaching the levels of ineffectiveness of Sigurdson. He just hasn’t recovered from that injury, his race is ran. I would start Davies which as has been already stated speaks volumes for the paucity of real midfield options available.

They offer up chances and I think we'll score, just depends how many we let in at our end. We should be treating every match this month like a final. If we're not at it like we were in Duncan's first game in charge, we'll get hammered.

 

[bebo86]

Can't wait to see Everton get booed off the pitch after 90 mins. Missed it

 

[Carlito]

Feels like Everton are due a good hiding.

 

[N0L1M1TK]

Hiding or clean sheet.

Hiding.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Feels like Everton are due a good hiding.

Most of the squad have been hiding for years........

Wonder will this be a game that many people will expect us to lose and we do like last year and win, heck a better team might make us step up and stop taking it easy, or the other way we could get battered lol

I said it yesterday mate, because we’ll go into the game as underdogs and not expected to win we’ll turn up and put a shift in.

We have a 100% record against these under Duncan Ferguson with a a brilliant performance to boot. Maybe let him step in for the game.

A win and a Draw with Silva too

Maybe get a combo of him and Ferguson

I have a very bad feeling about this one. Our form has took a turn for the worse and injuries have exposed us to formation changes and personel playing out of position. I'm down on a couple of players not looking too good at the moment playing very poorly which I don't want to disclose because of being fan favorites. Glad for DCL and I hope his form continues but he needs help upfront and he isn't getting it the past month. We all know we concede goals and can't stop the rot in twelve so I'm going in with a open mind hoping for the best.
