Everton are crap. They struggle to put 5 passes together. Their third pass is a hoof up to their striker. Terrivle side. We play MCFC at home on 3rd April. They will probably beat is but we will likely give then a game. Great result for us tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OntarioFox Posted 17 February 2021 Share Posted 17 February 2021 (edited) To echo what others have said - that's a great result for us. Let's be realistic - if we can maintain our momentum and put pressure on Man City, excellent, and every point is another feather in our cap if we want to be taken seriously as a team vying to become established in the upper echelons of the PL. But realistically, the goal is top four. We took another nice step towards that tonight - even if the toffees win that game in hand, it puts them 6 behind us with 14 games left. Everton's goal difference is pathetic for a team up at the top too - unsurprising given the anti-football they play - so, if we somehow ended up level on points, I'm confident we'd pip them on that basis (or on goals scored for that matter) before the head-to-head rule would come into play and knacker us. It says more about our own weakness against 11-behind-the-ball, negative teams than Everton's quality that they managed 4 out of 6 points against us this year. EDIT - also, just realised that we're 1 point and 2 Sheffield United losses away from being able to start the "Teams That Can't Catch Us" thread for this season.

Popular Post jayfox26 Posted 17 February 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 17 February 2021 Nobody is catching Man City now the form they are in. For us to catch them, they would need to lose 3 and draw 1 of their remaining 14 games and us win every game. They've only lost twice all season and whilst I think they will draw the odd game between now and the end of the season, I dont see them losing too many. Also worth remembering they have hit this run of form with KDB being injured, so they will only get better when he returns. Our focus is Man Utd and the teams below us. We could easily finish 2nd but we could also finish 10th it is so close at the moment, and we also have to remember that other than the "big 6" all the others dont have European games to contend with. The Villa game is huge and a win would really put is in a strong position for top 4. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 17 February 2021 Share Posted 17 February 2021 5 hours ago, The whole world smiles said: What are uefa smoking? There is zero interest in europa conference leauge. Its a competition no one asked for. It’s a competition which gives countries with no big television deal a realistic chance of European silverware whilst also giving smaller nations the opportunity to have their clubs play European football past August. Yeah it’s like a Mitropa/Latin/Intertoto Cup but it serves a purpose, albeit not for the bigger nations. UEFA won’t be making an awful lot because the TV deals will be tiny and hosting of finals is going to be in the likes of Albania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post deep blue Posted 18 February 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 18 February 2021 The key thing is that we win our games and let the rest worry about us. The match against Villa will be very difficult and we will need to be energised. I hope tonight's match doesn't take its toll. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_up_north Posted 18 February 2021 Share Posted 18 February 2021 I still think top 4 is quite an ask for us and it also means we'd draw a tough group. Would I be disappointed with top 6? Not at all. Yes, top 4 would be amazing but with West Ham up there, it means that one of Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs lose out of Europe altogether. It'd be funny just to see an already in debt Spurs not able to have european games for when fans actually come back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert09 Posted 18 February 2021 Share Posted 18 February 2021 We ruined Chelsea too soon. Why couldn’t we have kept it close and let lampard claw onto the job for a few more weeks It’s a much harder task to finish in the top 4 this season than last season. As Liverpool showed last night they might drop the odd result but the quality is still there. my guess would be it will come down to united or us..... again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
