I am hoping the Hammers will either be wearing flip-flops or thinking about the Conference Final. I cant see us getting any points from Liverpool (Home) and Newcastle (Away) to be honest. Goal Difference may be worth one extra point to us too! Basically, given the really poor position we have put ourselves in, we need to be performing like a top 4 team to get out of this mess, which in the context of this season, it is going to be very difficult. Forest winning could be the difference (and I think also for us us not getting something from the Bournemouth game was critical as it set them free while it plunged us deeper into trouble).

Mike Oxlong Posted 28 April 2023 Posted 28 April 2023 (edited) This game is now a relegation all or nothing. Win and you’re in the mix to stay up. Lose and it’ll be Rotherham, Hull and Stoke Edited 28 April 2023 by Mike Oxlong 1
shailen Posted 28 April 2023 Posted 28 April 2023 Watched parts of their game yesterday and despite the scoreline, parts of their play was okay. Won't be as easy as many think but that game has got to have dented their confidence! 1
Gazza M Posted 28 April 2023 Posted 28 April 2023 Good that Everton must also attack in this so Dyche can't play a low block for 90 mins to get a point. That should leave gaps and holes we can exploit. It's just making sure we are disciplined also in defence.
Fox1980 Posted 28 April 2023 Posted 28 April 2023 Just said on talksport this game is a must win for Everton 🙄

If you can defend for 90 minutes you will beat us. That worries me more Edited 28 April 2023 by ronnup 1

We're more skilful, but we've got to match their strength and physicality. Midfield will be key. We also don't need to concede any silly free-kicks where they can send it in for their centre-backs and Calvert-Lewin. Infact as I'm typing, I'm starting to think Faes, Soyoncu, and Souttar; O'Neil style. 1
foxfanazer Posted 28 April 2023 Posted 28 April 2023 They're top goalscorer is Dwight Mcneill. Need I say more?
SemperEadem Posted 28 April 2023 Posted 28 April 2023 I thought some of their play and fight going forward looked a threat.
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 28 April 2023 Posted 28 April 2023 Let's hope the toffees defend like they did for Isak's cracking assist last night. Great play min you. But they parted like the red sea.
Sunbury Fox Posted 28 April 2023 Posted 28 April 2023 I'm already feeling physically sick just thinking about this match. God knows how I'll be feeling at 8pm on Monday. 1
Tomlcfc133 Posted 28 April 2023 Posted 28 April 2023 Need a proper scrappy opening goal in the first 10 minutes needed. Do that and we will win the game 1
Criggers Posted 28 April 2023 Posted 28 April 2023 This will be my first match in quite a few years! We‘ll see this one through I reckon. Think I’ll stick a fiver on a Beckford hat trick. 1

jmono84 Posted 28 April 2023 Posted 28 April 2023 Our weakness is our physicality so as much as a prefer the 4231 I think we need 3 at the back. Iversen Faes Soutter Soyuncu Castange Soumare KDH Kristiensen Maddison Vardy Daka (assuming Nacho is out)

We need to get the atmosphere as per Wolves X 2 I'm really looking forward to it - the highlight of the week and all we've been through this season a win would mean everything 4
Vazman Posted 28 April 2023 Posted 28 April 2023 It's fair to say performances have improved slightly, but we have got to show more to stay up, an earlier post mentioned have we got a fight in us at this stage, some do, I just hope that JV scoring against Leeds is the spring board he and others need, if we turn up and play to our strengths, in the manner we know we can, we win this, if not we could end up with a draw / loss, anything other than a win against these we may as well prepare for the Championship, it really is put up or shut up time.
lcfcsnow Posted 28 April 2023 Posted 28 April 2023 Of all games that doesn’t need that goal music this is it, just end the nonsense please

That's the difference between this Newcastle side and the one we had that bottled the league. They have leadership, physicality and general cuntiness. We had none of that. Longstaff, for example, is purely in the side to be a **** because he doesn't offer much else.
Torten Posted 28 April 2023 Posted 28 April 2023 I think after the Wolves game, at home under the lights on Monday night the fans will be well up for it. Win this and it will be iconic
Tommy G Posted 28 April 2023 Posted 28 April 2023 What's Evertons away record like? Surely it's better than home becuase I think Goodison Park is more toxic than the KP!
Guest Col city fan Posted 28 April 2023 Posted 28 April 2023 Everton are dreadful. Lose this and I think it’s over for us. I think this game is the make or break one. I’m not talking only about points, I’m talking about likelihood of picking points up thereafter. If we can’t beat Everton this season, and at home, we don’t deserve to stay up. HOWEVER.. I think we’ll win. 2-1
CrazyKopCorner Posted 28 April 2023 Posted 28 April 2023 (edited) They looked terrible in the corresponding game at Everton and for much of it I thought we were a level above. 2 - 0 was more than a fair result The concern for me is that we gift such easy chances in every single game. We need to fly out of the traps and not be satisfied with a goal or 2 up - The goal must be to absolutely smash them to pieces Edited 28 April 2023 by CrazyKopCorner
