Match Thread Everton v Spurs. 3rd Jan at 1600.

[ToffeeTim]

Have zero confidence whatsoever for this one. Never the worst frame of mind when it comes to Everton.

 

[Jeff Jones]

I was just being sarky before. I think we can win this.

Superb preview @chicoazul

New year so once again renewed hope that we are about to embark on a 28 game winning run with 28 clean sheets and averaging 5 goals a game.

Anyone remember Wimbledon away on New years day where Big Dunc scored a couple? I think we won 4-2. No particular reason I mentioned that apart from it being a little flashback in my pea sized brain.

We can't defend, Spurs are boss, we are crap so I'm going for a 5-0 Everton home win where talk gathers pace that if we continue this one game winning streak then the title is ours for the taking. COYB!!!

 

[Billy Dean]

Can't see anything other than a comfortable Spurs win here.

 

[TheFinnFan]

If we lose we are talking about mini-crisis here.

But I think we will snot them 6-2

 

[Caolam]

Can see Spurs giving us a severe beating here. Maybe that is what it will take for us to see some changes in the starting 11. If they stick six past Howard maybe the penny will drop. I accept changing the keeper won't solve all our defensive problems but it would be a start. We can't keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect the outcome to be different.

Would love a draw here....

But I think it'll be a carbon copy of the Man United 3.0 loss game.

Theyre organised and efficient. And we can't handle that.

 

[Toffeelover]

Plus we have too many injured players which makes team selection awkward.

 

[meagher94]

We've made a few resilient defences look crap this season. I think we'll score against these, just hope we keep it tight at the back.

One chance will nick this one either way I say. 1-0 Everton.

 

[Furey1878]

The force will be with you, chico. Always.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Dembele out for few weeks

 

[Hangleton]

They will score at least one from a corner.

 

[TheHumbleEgg]

We'll get beat like but there'll be a couple of flashes of BIG WOW via the usual suspects and that'll more or less render the thrashing irrelevant because we'll have played some of the BEST football ever seen. For abaaaaar 11 combined minutes. So it's a win-win really...

Despite it more than likely being a bad loss.

 

[Yid4life]

Merson, Nicholas and Lawrenson all going for Everton.

Nailed on Spurs win then.

 

[irishblue11]

we'll need to score at least 4 to win this.
