The next game is Spurs
And then PlymouthâŚ
This is more important.
Everton seem to be playing well under Moyes and have gone (I think) 3-0 up in the first half in their last two matches. Expect they will be dangerous (with the ball too for a change) and any sort of victory (without injuries) would be immense.
Problem is Brighton just got beat 7-0, Spurs are well Spurs and Leicester.
The sample is rather low, it will be tough because they step up for the Derby, saying that theyâve already stepped up so perhaps.
This thread should be locked , for now.
I said that about 4 weeks back. Now itâs our next league game I think itâs a bit redundant.
Referee: Michael Oliver. Assistants: Stuart Burt, James Mainwaring. Fourth official: Tony Harrington. VAR: Chris Kavanagh. Assistant VAR: Eddie Smart.
I donât care about it being the last derby at Goodison , theyâre still shit , and theyâre no longer in a relegation battle. Iâd be surprised if we donât come away with the win.
Iâm more worried about Oliver and Kavanagh tbh.
Oh my daysâŚbloody hell look who weâve gotâŚpixie n dixie 2 right clownsâŚ
Theyâve got to honour the last Goodison Merseyside derby appropriately.
Violence and dodgy refereeing you mean?
Itâs the PGMOL Wayâ˘!
âŚand one of them was a prolific goalscorer for Everton.
These are from the cartoon of yester yearâŚ
Iâm just trying to work out who Mr Jinks is in this analogy. Personally, I always think of PGMOL as the Keystone Cops.
Look at the result in the opening post. How often did you expect us to go there an win? Every time, right?
Blaming the referees for all of those would sound very arsenalish.
Being the better team is sometimes not enough in football. For them itâs always the biggest game of the season.
It being the last derby at Goodison and the hope of ending out dominant run in the league will only give them extra motivation.
Will be interesting to see how many, and the type of tackles, that Oliver allows to be executed on our guys in this game.
I mean, it would be really concerning, if our club was to be playing his home club in a matter of weeks, in a domestic cup final they will be desperate to win.
Works both ways. The last thing we want is to give these spoilers that satisfaction. One thing is guaranteed though ; the atmosphere will be absolutely fucking poisonous.
