Losing to Arsenal...would it be so bad?

[d34noj]

I guess there is 2 parts to this:

1. Do you actively want us to lose? versus...
2. Would you be fussed if we did lose?

Kinda hard to separate it mentally. It's a bit like putting a bet on Everton to lose so that way there is a "positive" outcome either way.

Like @d34noj said above, it's a nothing game, and RS have a lot more to lose from a 5th place finish

As @RFUS said. We have nothing to play for, except the joy we would take from denying that gang of scrotes a CL place. I'd happily take an own goal in extra time.

True, but it's more about actively wanting us to lose - essentially routing for Arsenal. It's one thing to say we won't win, it's another to say we don't want to win.

I'm sticking with we won't win.

Could be time to finally experiment on the goalkeeping front.

We could dominate the match for 89 mins , hit the woodwork 8 times , have shots cleared off the line , then arsenal score with the last kick of the game . Herr Klopp and the kloppites would still claim we didn't try

I remember the same cries last time when Barkley scored the best goal of his career/our season!

The Man City game . Everton definitely played to win that day

I'd want us to lose, we need to look at the bigger picture, namely the rs losing out on millions and being less attractive to top players in the summer.

I can't believe I'm saying this but i hope the blues get well and truly stuffed by the arse if it means those lovable RS worldy beauts fail to qualify for the CL.

Klopp always reminds me of a giraffe.
Just thought I'd get that out there.

If we could still move up a place (or drop one) then I would want us to win of course. But we don't so if us losing means the RS don't get Champions League I'll be satisfied...

Glad to see some strategy in our "bitterness"

I'd like someone to have a word with catering and make sure none of our first 11 are able to move more than 2ft from the toilet just before the game.

I want to hear every Evertonians thoughts on this. Who can we start with?
I know @GerryandthePaceMerchants . What say you?

Play the kids

To be honest I would be very very disapointed if we got anything from that game, after all the games when we needed a result but didnt get one, to get one when it means nothing to us would be really annoying.
Arsenal to win please, unless it dosent help them of course but if they need the points them can have them with a cherry on top
