Popular Post HybridFox Posted 24 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 24 May 2023 (edited) I would actually rather West Ham didn't field a weakened team. If there is any complacency at all, it would be from the starters with the final in mind. The fringe players are actually the ones with a point to prove and would want to impress to make the squad. Would make it a tougher game for us imo Edited 24 May 2023 by HybridFox 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would make it a tougher game for us imo I can't remember who it was on the radio the other day made a joke about people expecting squad players to perform better when they came into the first team. The reason they're squad players and not first team regulars is because they're not that impressive. Managers make comments like "I expected people to try and impress me to get into the cup final" but if they've not impressed you on the training pitch all season why do you think they'd suddenly do any better on a match day? I'm not sure there will be too many changes from Moyes anyway, he won't want them going into a final having not kicked a ball in anger for ten days and for one or two like Rice it will be their last league game for the club. The thought of Paqueta up against Soumare is frightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Posted 24 May 2023 Share Posted 24 May 2023 Soyuncu - Back for his last game from the hamstring injury. Ricardo - Should return for this game. Clearly struggling g to play consistently at the moment. Evans - Should be back for this game. KDH - Still out with an ankle injury Ndidi - Potentially out due to a hamstring injury Vestergaard - Injured long term. Doubt he’ll be fit to sell in the summer. Justin - Ineligible Ward - His dislocated finger is sorted, so available for selection; hopefully as third choice behind Smithies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFCJohn Posted 24 May 2023 Share Posted 24 May 2023 9 hours ago, Stinky said: I hope those saying Everton are nailed on to win because Bournemouth are on the beach aren't going around saying we will fail to win... Against a team not only on the beach but also not wanting to get injured before the biggest game in most of their careers, that's if any of their main players feature too. We're probably more confident of an Everton win than Everton fans, likewise they probably think we will wipe the floor with WHU. In terms of the two teams in the centre of this, they probably both need to win yet both have sucked massively at doing such a thing this season. It's probably the most fancied each team has been to win all season, but doesn't make it a forgone conclusion whatsoever. You are right, and both opponents are something of bogey sides for us and Everton (although we did get that win at the LS in November). The one thing (apart from the obvious that they already have a 2 point start) that I keep coming back to and is unsettling is that Everton have been here before last season and before that. Hopefully it’ll make no difference come Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you believe a team that goes in such a way would be able to push on to Newcastle and come out alive? I would suspect that you did not envisage a point from last night, it is more than most had hoped for, this is a big point, by any means necessary. but we've got to push on this weekend is the point? 0-0 draw or 9-0 defeat are the same for us in terms of outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dave Posted 24 May 2023 Share Posted 24 May 2023 We will destroy West Ham with our best performance of the season by far, worthy of a European place. And Everton will also beat Bournemouth with a late goal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Monday we played a low block for 90 mins and ‘fought for our lives’. Yet we didn’t manage to pick up a single yellow card. I doubt any west ham players will fear picking up an impact injury - we are too soft. Interestingly everton only managed one card compared to leeds and forest’s three each.

Tough call, Everton are a really badly run club so I wouldn't be assuming they would bounce back immediately at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKLFox Posted 24 May 2023 Share Posted 24 May 2023 Looks like Sky have come to their senses and will be showing both the Leicester and Everton games on Sunday and not a dead rubber from the top as I believe was planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxes96 Posted 24 May 2023 Share Posted 24 May 2023 An actual Must Win. Unsure on best team selection now… would’ve liked to have started Kelechi but think we need to remain more compact in midfield. Chance for someone to make themselves a hero. Maddison/ Tielemans in their last game for the club? Iheanacho to come on and save us again? Or Vards with one last HUGE goal 🤞 Iversen Castagne - Souttar - Evans - Thomas Mendy - Tielemans - Soumaré Maddison - Vardy - Barnes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
