Saint Charlie Posted 16 April, 2016 Share Posted 16 April, 2016 Interesting to see how we do when things are in pur favour and we are favourites. Usually we do not enjoy that and when there is an opportunity tend to bottle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shance Posted 16 April, 2016 Share Posted 16 April, 2016 Indeed. Reading some of the Everton forums they are not confident at all. Which usually means we'll get dicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabrone Posted 16 April, 2016 Share Posted 16 April, 2016 Everton will always be our bogey team after 84 and the fact that they had the hex on us for ages in the 80s and 90s. These things scar you as a fan. If we lose Europe is dead IMO but if we can win then Villa (a) is next (win - surely?) and I feel we could go into that Citeh game with a bit of momentum and get the win......then things might start to get interesting. Bottom line - this is a must win if we are to have any chance of Europe (barring some freak set of cup results\table positions\divine intervention).

M271 Posted 16 April, 2016 Share Posted 16 April, 2016 I'm still left mentally scared from the 8 - 0 to Everton in Nov 1971. That afternoon I was competing in the Southampton Cubs Totem Pole competition for 2nd Southampton at Shirley Warren School, we won but the first thing I asked my dad was how did Saints do, when he told me the result I remember feeling so deflated. A life sentence of being a Saints fan ................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 16 April, 2016 Share Posted 16 April, 2016 Interestingly none of the Sky pundits on Super6 have gone for an Everton win. Jeff, Charlie and Dale all went for 1-2 with the rest going for a draw (Matt went with 1-1, as did I). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 16 April, 2016 Share Posted 16 April, 2016 Massive chance with Barkley and Lukaku set to be left out. There is a lot of talk from the squad about "our ambition" so with a chance like this it is up to them to play like we did against Stoke rather than Bournemouth.

markr27 Posted 16 April, 2016 Share Posted 16 April, 2016 Everton play Liverpool in midweek then FA Cup Semi next weekend - if Lukaku is a serious doubt I suspect he'll be held back to the bench today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainchris Posted 16 April, 2016 Share Posted 16 April, 2016 He was; but he was better than Dan Harding. Danny Fox was the worse left back we have seen in a long long time which makes Harding better...by quite a way... Back on subject, a good win for us today to prove our credentials for top 7... A northerly biting wind in the Northern outpost of Liverpool doesn't bode well for Pelle.... If he doesn't 'turn up' send on Rodrigues and drag Pelle off..

DuncanRG Posted 16 April, 2016 Share Posted 16 April, 2016 That's a weak Everton team, with its entire spine taken out. We should win this, but have to be wary of a late charge with Lukaku and Barkley coming on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox was out of his depth in the Premier League, but did very well in our Championship promotion season. Fox played ahead of Harding for good reason and had a large number of assists that season.

verlaine1979 Posted 16 April, 2016 Share Posted 16 April, 2016 Besic looked excellent during the last world cup, and I was annoyed we weren't in for him as a replacement for MS.

We were never going to spend money like for like or even close for replacements, anyone who thinks we will do that is mental. It's a huge part of our philosophy to make a big profit on players - until we can bring in top level commercial revenue or finish in the top 4, that's not going to change.
