shailen Posted 22 May 2023 Share Posted 22 May 2023 We're not favourites but we have a chance. Everton can't take no chances and have to win. We have to win. Hopefully the pressure of them having to win works in our favour and we can do the business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeskeyForever Posted 23 May 2023 Share Posted 23 May 2023 I could see West Ham taking key players off quite early in the game - I think they'll use this one as pre-final fitness rather than a chance to exert themselves too much. I think deep down, most of the players who'll start in the final won't want to risk being injured, which will play into our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dog Posted 23 May 2023 Share Posted 23 May 2023 The fans will drag Everton over the line regardless of what we do. West Ham will be there for the taking, I don’t think they’ll rest players necessarily - but those players won’t be playing full tilt and risking injury.

erlee Posted 23 May 2023 Share Posted 23 May 2023 Everton will get a draw at least against the Cherries/ if they do draw and we win - we are saved. otherwise we go down Leeds is not going to do SPurs 3-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teblin Posted 23 May 2023 Share Posted 23 May 2023 Just win Leicester, don’t think about what’s going on elsewhere. worse thing will be if we draw/lose and Everton don’t win either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 23 May 2023 Share Posted 23 May 2023 Just win our game. Don't let Everton drop points and stay up because we've cocked up our result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza M Posted 23 May 2023 Share Posted 23 May 2023 Depending on injuries etc not against a back 3 again but swapping out Ndidi for Maddison to give us that link from midfield to attack. Some people are foolish yesterday thinking we wouldn't have got opened in like a can of beans yesterday if we tried to go toe to toe with Newcastle.

Nobbyburton Posted 23 May 2023 Share Posted 23 May 2023 Everton fans can be decent and will make it hard for Bournemouth, but Goodison can also be one of the most toxic grounds in the league when things aren’t going well. If Bournemouth somehow score first, things will get very interesting 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelmofox Posted 23 May 2023 Share Posted 23 May 2023 So is this the must win? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Shep Posted 23 May 2023 Share Posted 23 May 2023 We can beat them, with the right players! I still think this'll go the whole 90 minutes, or 120 minutes if Everton aren't winning and me thinks VAR will be having a say, hopefully on our side for a change.

If we are aggressive and on the front foot, their key players will not want to risk injury for their cup final and may drop out of challenges and that may give us the edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a strange way that makes it a bit more straightforward in terms of our tactics. If there was a possibility that a draw might be enough depending on other results it would be horrible to watch us try to hold on only to find out we should have pushed on for a win.

Tielemans63 Posted 23 May 2023 Share Posted 23 May 2023 We're not exactly famed for pulling it out of the bag on the final day. I can see a scenario in which Everton don't win and we don't either, which really would be the final insult. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK3Blue Posted 23 May 2023 Share Posted 23 May 2023 We'll win on Sunday, Maddison and Tielemans will finally show up. Going for draw in the Everton game, to complete the most unlikely of escapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Fox Posted 23 May 2023 Share Posted 23 May 2023 We are going to win and Everton will draw we are staying up! Either way, it’s going to be a tense one but nothing in life is easy or should be taken for granted. But I do believe we will do it by hook or by crook.

Sir Shep Posted 23 May 2023 Share Posted 23 May 2023 Things you just know are going to happen next sunday...... At about 1825 on sky sports news, Jeff shouts out "and we go to Goodison where there's been a late late late goal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Bowman Posted 23 May 2023 Share Posted 23 May 2023 9 hours ago, Hammo said: I knew this would happen. We’ll beat a disinterested West Ham second XI, but it will all be to no avail because Everton will also beat an equally half-arsed Bournemouth, probably with a controversial twice taken stoppage time penalty, to send us down. And because we win there will be no boos… just a load of happy clappers having a field day. Nightmare. Oh, ffs! Getting relegated would be the problem here - are you seriously saying that a lack of booing would make it even worse?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out with a whimper, might put a triple on that to ease the pain If we're level at half time and Everton only a goal ahead I'll have the last drop of hope anything other than that 45 mins of torture. Just need to decide whether to stay to give the whole farce dirty looks if they traipse round the pitch I bet the club do something stupid like play the awful pre KO version of WYS as mourning music Edited 23 May 2023 by hebangsthedrums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchie Posted 23 May 2023 Share Posted 23 May 2023 The KP has to be a CAULDRON on Sunday. Forget what’s gone before, forget about Rodgers, the disappointment and opinions of any players. They need to be warriors. THIS IS IT, then hope Vichai can influence the game at Goodison for us 🙏 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
