Turkish Posted 5 April, 2022 Share Posted 5 April, 2022 2 hours ago, Sheaf Saint said: Watford beat them 5-2 at Goodison earlier in the season. As we discovered to our cost recently, they are capable of grinding out important wins. And Everton have the worst away record in all the English leagues this season. Been saying it for a while now - they don't have the stomach for a fight and will be favourites to go down if they lose at Turf Moor. To be fair you have been saying that. Assumed they'd have enough quality to get out of it but they seem to be getting worse if anything. Abolute shambles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted 5 April, 2022 Share Posted 5 April, 2022 7 hours ago, Turkish said: Not sure why the media seem relucant to give Viera any praise. Has transformed Palace this season they were great last night. Doing a much better job than Gerrard or Lampard. Yep, he's been a revelation, despite having some average players in his squad. N comparison, Lampard has had a shocker at Everton, and will hopefully take them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted 5 April, 2022 Share Posted 5 April, 2022 Vieira has been excellent this season, Palace’s biggest issue has been consistency but to have near enough a whole squad out of contract and rebuild and be in the position they’re in is very good. Would like to see Everton drop, they have no fighters in that team. Whereas Watford and Burnley are capable of having a scrap and a go for it. If Everton don’t win tomorrow I think they’re down. Also, watching Man City currently, classic defending by Atletico by putting eleven men across their penalty area. Classic City passing it side to side, no end product so far. Crossing it seems to be their tactic - can’t see it working when the tallest forward player is Sterling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvSFC Posted 5 April, 2022 Share Posted 5 April, 2022 I recall Ben Foster saying this on one of his podcasts: "One thing I will say is, if you can get on top of Everton early doors, the Everton fans are horrible to Everton players. They get right on top of them. For sure they get into the players' heads. All we said before the game is, 'right lads, we need to start fast and get on top of them'. "We won the game 5-2 and we make a point of saying it, the Everton fans are horrible. If it looks like we're overrunning them, they get on the Everton players like crazy." So, Goodison Park won't be too much of a factor if they do unfortunately stay up. Opposition players know how to play there. We don't, but, yeah...

Yes but its important to remember they have a precious game in hand. Were they to win that, then....they still would be nowhere near getting into the play off places. Just the eleven straight seasons in the lower leagues, then. At least. Edited 6 April, 2022 by CB Fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be some big sides still in league one next year with the likes of Derby, Ipswich, Sunderland, Bolton, Sheffield Wednesday, all teams with bigger crowds / better grounds than them, they're not even a big team for the third tier! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think tonight will be a big decider in how things go, if Everton win at Burnley then it's virtually all over anyway. BUT if Everton do need home wins in the last week v Brentford and possibly Palace then I back them to get them with the Goodison crowd right up for it.
