Didn't Everton relegate Bournemouth in 2020.... hopefully they want revenge.

 

Just win Leicester please. Don't let them slip up and us not do our jobs

No, they actually won but were relegated from results elsewhere (which was Dean Smith’s Villa getting a result against West Ham ironically )

Whilst Everton didn’t relegate them though, they might have demons to settle at Goodison!

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. 

Anything less than a win for us and we go down regardless of other results 

[splinterdream]

For me I'd already resigned myself to the fact we were down before last night, so just going to enjoy the slim possibility we survive and if not, lessons need to be learned 

[justfoxes]

Even tho I can’t see Moyes resting any players for their upcoming Europa Final let’s hope all the ones he puts out have one eye on that final and will try not to pick up any injuries pulling out of 50/50’s, we need to go in hard show them we need this win and we’ll do almost anything to get the win !

I’m not going to predict a score for this one as I’ve been so wrong last couple don’t even want to post a Rachel just in case it jinx’s it but hope for a Foxes win on Sunday and Losses for Dirty Leeds & Everton 🙏🦊💙

The one thing you can absolutely guarantee about this Leicester side is that they won't go in hard. We've been supposedly fighting for our lives these past 4 weeks and I've not seen one full blooded tackle.

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.

Same thing may happen if we score early though; go all defensive. I'd hope we'd go all out for a second goal but it wouldn't surprise me if we dropped back.

I'd be happy with an early lead though!

 

[Blue Ed]

I'm not going to be getting frustrated if it's still goalless at half time, no matter everything that's happened this season I'm just got to get behind them and if we go down...go down singing. I know we need a win but honestly I'd set up to keep a clean sheet and win it 1-0, that's all we need Jose Mourinho shithousoury. Don't go charging into attack and loose this 3-5

 

[CrazyKopCorner]

I daren’t let myself believe Everton will do anything but win but I know Bournemouth have treated them like an arse wipe in a couple of games this season

Almost all the games where we thought we could outplay the opposition this season have been failures. We are simply not playing well enough. We must still defend as tightly as possible. At home the likelyhood is we will get more chances anyway.

I’m assuming our WHam game will be live on Sky?

 

Cant see confirmation anywhere

Gonna be a tough ride, let's hope we can actually score first and before Everton then it piles on the pressure for them. Then just hope the gods are with us, they certainly were last night so there has to be hope! 

[RumbleFox]

I actually think we’ll win. But I think Everton will win too. 😞 

[lcfcfoz]

Need to be level with hammers, leeds wining by 2, everton drawing. Thay way everton stay up, afraid to attack as if they lose leeds will leapfrog them. Then late late on score, and leapfrog everton, not giving them time to respond and finishing a draw, whislt us and leeds win

2-0 to us 

1-3 to Bournemouth.

[Chairman of the Bored]

I shall be wearing a Bournemouth shirt beneath my LCFC shirt on this occasion. Might get a bit sweaty.

 

Bournemouth mate is going to Goodison, so will get regular updates.

Any Intel from your mate on how Bournemouth are playing (they've lost the last 3)? And on whether they're likely to play the first XI or give some squad players a run at Everton?

Gonna win this 2-1

 

However Demarai Gray is gonna score a 95th minute winner for Everton to send us down

[Pliskin]

For 73 years, Everton have played top flight football consistently….. time or that to come to an end folks. 

[RonnieTodger]

Can see this ending in the most gut-wrenching way possible.

 

The players will then get completely undeserved applause for finally showing up. 

[RoboFox]

This is going to be absolutely fvcking awful and for some reason I can't wait.
