A three nil? How long has it been?

Too long

 

[GoldenToffee]

Kudus, Paqueta and Bowen the obvious key men for them. I'm a bit scared of our thickos giving away free kicks close to the box, as Prowse will definitely score one if given a handful of opportunities.

Their squad is incredibly strong compared to ours, result seems ominous sadly.

The stick mirallas used to get was crazy

He was the most skilful player we had, of course he got stick!

 

[Bluebonic]

As always with Everton, our chances depend almost entirely on who gets played in our midfield.

Probably the best finisher too. When through on goal you knew he'd slot.

A three nil? How long has it been?

Newcastle wasn't it? Just before Christmas. And Bournemouth a bit before that.

 

[PhilM]

Hunts Cross line is currently off today (rail replacement bus) for the match.

Need O'Nana to step up to the plate with a dominant performance today that's for sure. Pair him with Jamez Garna.

Last win: 16th Dec 2023, 77 days ago.
Last PL win at home: 10th Dec 2023, 83 days ago.

3 wins at home all season from 13 home games, 13 points from 39.

This has to change starting today, had we won 2 or 3 of the last 9 we would be easily clear but we didn`t and that makes this a must win IMO to open that gap especially as we don`t know the points we will get deducted in the second PSR charge.

Just about winning games to get far enough clear.

Dyche needs to change the style at home, playing much more on the front foot with more intensity to get the GP crowd involved rather than the absolute dross we have seen this season.

Hooooooof

I think this is a must win game - but it is one that we can win.
If Dyche sets up as he did against Palace at home then we'll blow it.
We need an attacking team. Not sure if Coleman / Danjuma are fit and if not I'd start...

Pickford Patterson Tarks Branners Myko Harrison Garner Gana McNeil Duke DCL. Get Patt / Myko / Harrison & McNeil all in their half bombing forward putting plenty of balls in their box - and we'll see DCL and Duke scoring.

It's quite sad that we are worried about playing West Ham at Goodison. Personally I think we'll win, if not comfortably, without too much trouble.

Even if West Ham throw in a stinker we will still struggle to score, we are third lowest scorers in the league so that gives other teams confidence only

Only the top three have a better goals against sounds a little better yes

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Hard to see a win.

 

[Peter The Dog]

we always do well against them.

a comfortable no-frills 2-0 win.

 

[TyphooToffee]

If we win and both Palace and Brentford lose we'll be 13th, behind Fulham, which is where we'd be now already without the 6 point deduction.
