Been watching it... wish opposing teams would help us score goals like that when we play them. Just hope we get our act together tomorrow, and do what needs to be done.


Just shows you though.

This is one crap league outside of the current top six and us, if we could just get the act together.

I sat watching Soccer Saturday today and the reports from round the EPL games concerning the “also rans” of this league and the story was the same in them all.....God awful matches with God awful teams playing each other and all concerned with nowt more than survival.

Win tomorrow and we shoot four places up the table.

The world might just look a much better place 24 hours from now.

I will call this now......if we win tomorrow we will be 7th by New Year’s Day.

At the latest ;)
 
Can't see anything beyond a Watford win, even without Deeney. They simply have more balance and confidence.

2-0 to them and relegation battle confirmed. If Okaka was involved, you're looking at a rout but luckily he's had a falling out with them, so he can't have his usual Messi-esque performance against us.
 
--------------------Pickford----------------

Kenny--------Keane----Jagielka----Baines

Lennon-------Gana----Davies-----Lookman

---------------------Vlasic-------------------

--------------------Rooney-------------------

If not working, then at half time i'd send Niasse on, move Vlasic on to the wing for either Lookman or Lennon if either are not playing well and drop Rooney where Vlasic is. If Rooney's not doing well then take him off and stick Calvert-Lewin and Niasse up front together.

We can't afford to lose our shape at any point. There seems to be such a tendency to change from having wingers (Leicester), or not even starting with them in Koeman's case but we still end up losing and most likely conceding even more.
 
Let's face it, they're not exactly going to be quaking in their boots at the prospect of playing us.

Score first against us and the chances are you've won the game.
So true. Under Moyes, going a goal behind always presented the possibility of a draw. Under Martinez, it presented the possibility of equalising, getting another couple, then being pegged back for the draw in the last ten minutes. Under Koeman, first season, if it happened, you still weren’t that bothered - we had a good record on points gained after going behind. But now, you’re basically just waiting for the first one to go in, then wondering how many more it will be (without reply, obviously - an alarming and unwelcome aspect of ‘new Everton’).
