Match Thread Spurs 1-0 Everton - 24th May 4pm

[Seathestars]

Cannot see us not conceding 2 or 3 with that defence

We have conceded at least 2 in our last 6 games, we are woeful and still our best available centre half will play right back.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Tough one to call this, but I believe human nature will play a part and subconciously some Everon players will want to do a Richie a favour.
I'm not suggesting for one minute they will throw the game, but I think some won't be giving it 101%.
As humans it's difficult to inflict pain on an old friend and he was very popular here.
I will be very surprised if we even get a draw for the above reason plus the fact we are dog turd at the back.
Our last 6 games we have coceded 14 goal, Spurs have conceded 7.
If I was the Spurs manager I would play Richie from the start, get him talking to our players and hope.

Richie has a lot of catching up to do with the Spurs fans who think he's crap.

1. Do i have to go?
2. If yes, when can I leave?

Honestly can't recall ever being this fed up by Everton since the last moyes regime.

Will vault myself if I am wrong, but I cant see anything other than a pasting.

At least it'll be 33c, I think that's a bonus?

I really hope it's a tight game and we go into the final 10 minutes with Spurs needing to score to go in front, especially if WHam are beating Leeds, just to see the nail biting and fear in the eyes of the locals so that they can experience how we've felt these past few seasons...and probably been lapping it up.

….pretty much my view too. We tend to be hard to beat but my fear is conceding early could make it very difficult for us. The game is more important for them, which could actually work in our favour, events elsewhere in London could also have an impact.

Good that it’s us involved in such a high-profile game, even better that it’s not us in Spurs position but it’s difficult to feel positive.

Why would they need to score to go in front? A draw is perfectly fine. They definitely won't be pushing forward if West Ham are winning and they are drawing — that would be suicide if we hit them on the break (I'm actually laughing at the thought of a 'quick' Everton break though).

I just want to see a performance so In the middle of summer I can go on YouTube and get my Everton fix.
I think we can win this , the players,manager and club know exactly our views on last week and I'm totally expecting a reaction, Jimmy G will want to show England Management what their missing , 2-0 win .

Ever the optimist .......fool that I am !.

Up The Toffes

And The Hammers

Can we just for once deal with a very poor side, imagine they’ll be wracked with nerves I think an early west ham goal helps us , just get the first goal Everton and see the absolute fear in the home support

This season has been disappointing but come on

Allardyce, Benitez, Lampard and Dyche were all far worse and somehow Koeman and late Martinez were probably worse too because with higher expectations we still managed to be awful

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Whatever happens I hope it goes right to the wire

I don’t really care who goes down but if West Ham can get a couple of early goals it’ll make our game a lot more exciting as long as we don’t completely capitulate

They'll play a person up front who hasn't scored in about 17 years, and we will make him look like Prime Messi. Everton that.

 

[mccole]

The boring cart will play the same back four and will slot McNeil in on the right

I would like to see some change to the XI given the woeful form of late plus lack of pace

 

[quasi modo]

The majority of the country will know what it feels like to be an Evertonian with Moyes at the helm today.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

One change today.
