COYR!

Must Not Lose

Everton are 2nd lowest scorers in the league with 32

However

15 of those goals are from set pieces, 2nd highest in the league and at 47% that is top percentage by a distance.

Despite last nights result somehow they remain the team with the 4th best defence.

Their confidence is rock bottom though and if we can get a goal suspect their crowd will turn a bit.

If they score first though the place will be banging.

We can't afford to come home with less than a point. We've squandered too many needless points. It's about time we went away from home and got an unlikely win. Long overdue

I think we should talk ourselves up a bit.

We are not playing badly, we have lost just one of our last five games and that was away at a team challenging for a CL spot.

And yes I know that we have only won one of our last five games so nobody needs to mention it.

So we have played five won one, lost one and drawn three.

I think we are in decent form and playing quiet well.

We have 2 options here.

1) pick a side to try and compete physically, which would therefore include Yates, Sangare and Origi starting as happened at Luton.

2) be brave and go to outplay them and put them on the back foot.

I think we need to go for option 2 personally. Let’s not die wondering, let’s really try and get their crowd unsettled. If we played option 1 the chances are we still lose to a set piece, but without the attacking threat to really put them under pressure.

Absolutely agree

Count me in.

Would take a point from this away game. Don't think we could afford to play 4-2-3-1 in this game. They push deep into midfield and overload the space and hit diagonal balls on top of full backs.

It's the option that the vast majority of us fans would do.....but then be confuddled by the selection come match day!?!

[The reds]

Attack and Win, they look very suspect when you attack them. Especially with Branthwaite out too.

I cant see how we aren’t going to concede a goal or two from a set play. So we have to assume we have to score 2 goals at the other end.
