Match Thread Everton v Tottenham Hotspur - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[messymascot]

Win we go 7th, draw 9th lose stay 11th unless by 5 and we drop to 12th. I think it just shows the tightness of the league. We need to go for the win and the Burnley and Brighton games suddenly look a lot different. Players have had 8 days off so should all be fresh could be a good time to catch Spurs as they have had midweek games last 2 weeks on top of hectic league schedule. Time for us to lay a marker down home games against top 6 should be draw minimum but really should be wins! Over to the 11&3 players selected.

reckon Pundits were saying that about CP and Leicester before the games today. One never knows Dave do no throw in the towel just.

We have no backbone. It'll be difficult to get that back again until the whole of the defeatist players are out the door....and also the coaches like Ferguson with the stink of defeat all over them. Why he's still hanging round like a bad smell I dont know.

...but our state of mind is so important. Sadly, I honestly think the Reds doing so well is contributing to our mentality.

I don’t think we’ve played any of the top sides at home, they’ll be creative but they will leave us with chances. I’m also a doom and gloom merchant but we really do have a chance in these games.

That galoot in goal contributed to that.

Haha thing is we don't hold it against him as we know how good he is, level headed keeper, seems a top bloke too

Can see a big win coming our way.
3-0 stun spurs 3 in the first 30 mins.

Has to happen sooner or later, Silva's tactics mean will beat a team at least once this season.

That galoot in goal contributed to that.

I am still not convinced with Pickford. He can make the impossible look easy and the easy look impossible. That means he is inconsistent which, in turn, means his defence can't 100% rely on him and that affects their confidence and decision making.

I am sure as he matures as a 'keeper he will improve his decision making but right now he needs to concentrate on not making any (more) silly mistakes and building a good understanding and confidence with his defence.

Bags of natural talent without a doubt, but it needs channeling properly.

Palace winning at City and Leicester at Chelsea. I was told it was delusional to think we could beat Spurs at home. No wonder we are where we are.

Too many love to write us off before a ball is kicked and then get in the ground and not make a peep

 

[paulbefc]

Wouldn't be surprised at all if we went and did Spurs in dramatic fashion now. 3-2.

1-1

FFS Dave it's the season to be jolly, at least curb the pessimism a tad. I'm optimistic for tomorrow however my brain has probably been tainted by my early Xmas indulgence.

....have a drink, Dave, things can look a bit better.

Up to now its been an awful December, lets please end it on a good note with 9pts in 6 days.

Hate say it but it may take more than one at the moment for all of us. You just can't make a day like this up. Glad we play tomorrow maybe things may settle a bit.
