Sheaf Saint Posted 19 April, 2014 Share Posted 19 April, 2014 Oh dear, think we will get a spanking. On current form, I would have to agree. Apart from their blip against Palace in midweek, Everton are on fire. Whereas we seem utterly incapable of even shooting at the moment, let alone scoring.

Special K Posted 19 April, 2014 Share Posted 19 April, 2014 Obviously lacking bite and pace up front since J Rod's injury - 1 goal since - so expect, unfortunately a narrow defeat. I'd stick SG up front from the start to give him game time. We probably wont get caught by the geordies and we can't realistically catch anyone in front of us, so maybe give the lad a full 90 to see how he copes.

eurosaint Posted 19 April, 2014 Share Posted 19 April, 2014 No real options for the line up apart from maybe Wanyama/Cork unless we blood some of the youngsters ! Have a good feeling about this one though, we are due a break and I reckon this could be it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint in Paradise Posted 20 April, 2014 Share Posted 20 April, 2014 As much as I would really like Everton to finish 4th and keep Arsenal out I haven't totally forgiven them for past evil deeds against Saints. I think we might just beat them 1-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 20 April, 2014 Share Posted 20 April, 2014 Lukaku will be returning to haunt the same weekend as last year when he was part of an attack that put three past us. By virtue of Everton still having a lot to play for they will overcome us, just hope we work on our attacking movement a bit more this week and look better going forward then we did v Cardiff and Villa.

Mowgli Posted 20 April, 2014 Share Posted 20 April, 2014 Everton looked good today. Nothing wrong with our front line. We're just a young side learning how to read weaknesses in different teams. Lambert, Lallana and the centre backs ( on set pieces) all well capable of scoring. Need to make that early pressure count though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO16_Saint Posted 21 April, 2014 Share Posted 21 April, 2014 Have you seen the bt sport advert for the match? Saw it this morning at about 6:10.... It's like an advert for aftershave with the caption 'alluring football' or something similar.

Professor Posted 21 April, 2014 Share Posted 21 April, 2014 (edited) A great game at this stage of the season. That they have everything to play for and we have nothing will be seen by a lot of people as making this a nailed-on result for Everton but football doesn't work like that. Our passing game should still give us most of the possession but MoPo and Jesus have a challange in how to convert possession into goals. The idea that our strikers are not good enough to take the chances, such as the ones that weren't taken against Villa, looks too simplistic, as does the idea that only JRod would be capable of scoring. Really looking forward to this game which could genuinely go either way but gives Saints a chance of putting down a marker for next season and encouraging players in the squad to stick with the project.

fanimal Posted 21 April, 2014 Share Posted 21 April, 2014 Just watched MOTD2, Utd had 61% possession and no goals, no width or front runners to get in behind Everton back 4. Then got hit by two counter attack goals. Shaw will need someone in front of him to block Coleman steaming forward. I would expect same tactics from Martinez. So what is MoPo's plan B?

Saint_Tony Posted 21 April, 2014 Share Posted 21 April, 2014 No doubt we will dominate possession but get beat 2-0. Shaw will have his work cut out against the best attacking right back in the league in Coleman. Rickie really needs to start putting some chances away, he's still getting by hoping Carroll doesn't score any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 21 April, 2014 Share Posted 21 April, 2014 ESPN advertising this as 'seductive football'. Fear we may see exactly the same sort of game that Everton vs. Man Utd was. We'll have more possession and a lack of a cutting edge and Everton's pace and power on the break will kill us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasiak-9- Posted 21 April, 2014 Share Posted 21 April, 2014 Amazing that the people who in one thread say we ought to be higher up the league then come on here and dismiss us as even having a chance against the team three places above us in the league at home. Lets see if they're as happy to magnanimously accept defeat by a better team on the post-match thread should Everton beat us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintSteve Posted 21 April, 2014 Share Posted 21 April, 2014 Personally, I see Everton as being too strong physically, play a faster tempo than us and have more variation in the final third so predict we will lose 2-1.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 21 April, 2014 Share Posted 21 April, 2014 (edited) Personally, I see Everton as being too strong physically, play a faster tempo than us and have more variation in the final third so predict we will lose 2-1.. It all depends, Everton finished yesterday's game with a second choice CB pairing. Don't know the status of Jagielka and Distin but with the young Stones (who looked handy by the way) and the Paraguayan wallah their defence might be a bit weaker than usual. However our front men will need to take their chances correctly and not waste them again as they did on Saturday.

corky morris Posted 22 April, 2014 Share Posted 22 April, 2014 When someone asked how many points we would get from last 5 games I said 2. The reason being that I didn't know where our goals were coming from. A point each at Villa & Swansea. So that said, I think we will lose against Everton. Not happy about it, but no Jay Rod, Osvaldo & Ramirez (£34m worth of attacking options) we were always gonna struggle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
