Goodison Park, Thursday 16th July, 18.00KO.
I’ve only kept the 0 bit because I opened the last one and I’m trying to bring us luck!
1-2 Trez, McGinn
Trevor Ross for them.
-
I've added a poll and the kick off details. Amateur!
Them 1 Us 4
-
Yep, 4-1 to us.
-
Agreed.
-
Can someone email Everton pointing out Us V Them is the most played fixture in top flight history and it's in their interest to extend the record next season.

1-2 Trez, McGinn
Trevor Ross for them.
I'm planning on doing the same with the match thread: Aston Villanil...
-
Same score prediction as last time: shock 0-2 win.
-
2-1.
Trevor Steven and Kevin Sheedy for them. Andy Gray (the black one/not the dickhead white one) for us.
-
I know some are assuming they'll be on the beach but Ancelotti really laid into them yesterday after being pummelled by Wolves. Hope we're not backlashed.
-
Palace was a false dawn. 2-0 Everton
-
Kevin Richardson will handle one off the line at the end. 2-0 them.
If we can start well and take the lead, maybe, just maybe ..
-
There will about 50,000 of them at the match.
-
Delusion fully restored after yesterday’s win. We start well and get an early goal, they give us a scare, we finish the job like we haven’t done all season.
1-3 Grealish, Trez and Hourihane with a stunning free kick to ease the nerves).

Everton fans seem to think if we turn up we'll beat them. They don't have a lot of love for their team. (https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/everton-v-aston-villa-thursday-16-july-18-00.110644/) Most furious after the Wolves humiliation.
Saying that, we've been numerous times up against teams with players out, on a bad run, can't score to save their lives, fans on their backs and what happens? We roll over.
No excuses. Fight to the death. 1-3 Villa (Conor, Samatta and McGinn).
-
maybe some massive confidence after the Palace game.
Trez will be Ronaldo cocky and Luiz is looking class . Same team with Elmo and Targett as full backs .
0-1 Samatta
-
Cagey 1-1.

Good to see that hyperbolic, performative DISGUST is common to all message boards, no matter how the team is doing.
I can't be bothered watching these gutless, heartless excuses for professional footballers anymore. Most of them are fraudsters. They've ripped the soul and passion out of the club. Recruitment, coaching and personnel need gutted. A few ruthless home truths need to come from the top brass at the club, otherwise we'll be another leeds/shef wed/forest. The downward spiral needs nipped in the bud or Everton fc will end up in the wilderness of the lower leagues.
Yes, it's that perilous at the minute. Wholesale rot in a club is hard to reverse quickly. Our failings are obvious. Start addressing them NOW.

eamonn, pedant alert. We had two white Grays. I would play all three. Them 0 Us 3 (Gray A, Gray A, Gray S)
-
I will never, ever tire of the look on Lescott's Chevy Chase after that third goal.

Stuart Gray was at my graduation.

I don't even remember signing up to that Everton board, must have been pissed.

Ha!

But you were expelled Ads. Mind you the President of our old boys (Hilts and me) allumni was expelled as a fifth former.

Nah can't get expelled from uni!

I was just thinking "he's the Everton Risso" 😂
-
This is it. Win or bust. Again.
-
Win because we have to, so win
-
Everton are a bang average team, we actually beat them earlier in the season. But I think is where it will effectively end us for us in the top division. A spirited display but a 3-2 defeat. Just think Ancelotti will have told them in no uncertain terms that their futures will be elsewhere if they perform again like they did v Wolves.

Them 1 Us 4
I had to sticky it. Part-timer. One up!
-
We’re winning this. They have fuck all to play for. We have to want it more than them.
2-1 Jack and Luiz
-
I don’t remember but, probably under Bruce? He was forced into a couple of changes due to injuries to his favoured players and, it actually turned our fortunes around and we went on a bit of a run of wins? Same as the forced changes v Palace seemed to make us a better team yesterday?
-
Wow those were the days
-
I think it's fair to say its a must win. I've seen a lot of these not won to be honest, but I do think we should be more committed - as much as Everton fans want a good performance, we're in the middle of a pandemic and Everton are safe.
-
Had this down as a draw in my "escape plan" and i'm sticking to it. More confident now obviously after the palace game but the fact remains our forwards still don't look like they're gonna score between now and the end of the season.
0-0
-
Five points keeps us up if either Watford or West Ham lose their final games and if Bournemouth get less than four points from their last three, so while we should obviously be going for the win, I'd prefer us not to be throwing keepers up for corners if it's 0-0 late on.
-
I can’t see 35 being enough especially with the goal difference. 36 might be because of Watford and Wet Spam and Watford’s last two games.
-
We need a win Everton are mid table and going nowhere so I will go 2-1 Villa win.
-
Think it's must win, but will be a frustrating draw, where a point would be welcomed in normal circumstances.
That would keep us hanging on for another week probably by the skin of our teeth, but make survival a lot less likely than it already is.
-
I'm slow to the party here but if we dont win we wont be relegated because W Ham and Watford play each other - right? Its the Arsenal who will send us down.
-
Right
-
I think we'll beat Arsenal and take it to the last game. We're due a win against one of the SKY Top of Topest half dozen and they always strike me as the one most likely to implode or rollover. End of the day, 1 of the next 2 games has to be a win or its all over.
-
Every time we have needed a big performance, we have failed dismally, other than against Palace, so, hopefully a tide turned. Dean says that his team can play under pressure. This is massive so there could not be more pressure, so go out and show us what you can do.

"we are due a win" is the equivalent of "we have no track record of" but concluding that it will happen.
-
Will the real Dean Smith please stand up.
We might win; could lose; likely to be a draw.

Well yeah, but I like to think i'm basing it on some resemblence of logic, mainly their recent form against Tottenham and before that, snatching a draw from the jaws of victory against Leicester. I never predicted we'd get anything from the Man U or Liverpool games, so while i'm hopeful, i'm not insane/drunk.
-
Everton are on the beach and very suspect defensively. Get at them and we can get something from this. We will concede because they've got a front two who score goals, but we cannot afford to lose it. I'm hoping we catch them in cruise control, but get on the front foot quickly and take our chances.
2-1 Villa. Hourihane FK, Grealish belter.
-
It would be a great time for Jack to turn up.
-
My Everton supporting mate is not confident on this one. The last performance was much better. Think we have a decent chance of a win.
Not likely we stay up, but feels good to see us fighting, get a result and then maybe just maybe the confidence will flow and the stars will align for us.
-
It’s the hope that’s going to kill us isn’t it?
-

Not been hopeful since Chelsea game so it won't kill me
Everton are good at home so can't see us getting anything. Unlike Palace some of these are playing for their place next season under Ancelotti
-
Going for a Villa win, all we have to do is set about this game with the same commitment as we did v Crystal Palace, should be enough, fingers crossed then looking at the teams around us would say, we lose this and its all over.
-
3-1 Villa.
Hourihane, Trez and SuperJack.

Well done, you've stayed up comfortably, Carlo. No need for further strenuous efforts from your players so you can go full tilt for European football next season.
-
Come on me babbies!!!
Win win!!!
Love Villa
-
I expect we'll play well, have a few chances, lead 1-0 at HT, have a few more, not capitalise when on top, concede a silly goal midway through the 2nd half, then they'll be chances for both sides but it'll be an entertaining 1-1.
-
I think tonight is the night we will get to see just how much fight is in this team and whether they really want it.
3 games to go, shit or bust.
-
Anyone else absolutely dreading this?
-
I’ve woken up with confidence about this game 0-2 to us
-

This, and it will go to the last day, folks!
-
I've not seen anything of Everton since the re-start so I'm not sure how they have been playing. I'll go for a nervy 1-2 win.
-
I’d be very surprised if we win but I think we have to.
-
Come on VILLA - Tonight we will show we are up for the fight - confident we will win 2-1 and then also win our remaining 2 games
Sunday's result was the turning point in our battle against relegation!
-
Shit or bust tonight. Lose and that's it as can't see us beating Arse or having to get a win at West Ham. Win then game on.
-
I wish I was as optimistic as others on here. It would certainly be amazing to win 2 on the trot at this stage of the season. UTV
-
There's must win games and really must win games and this is definitely the latter. Saw Everton against Wolves and find it hard to believe they can play as badly again. Let's hope Trez has his shooting boots on and Ally remembers, where the net is again.
-
any type of win please Villa...
UTV
The Doc

By all accounts Everton were a shambles last time out and from what I've read on their forums no-one is expecting that to change. If that's true then we just have to be good enough to take advantage. We have far more riding on this than them so I'm cautiously hoping for a win.
-
Hoping Everton are already on the beach.....another 2-0 win & game on!

Technically isn't a must win, but it is really as a draw between Watford and West Ham tomorrow night woukd leave us needing two wins.
-
Providing they give 100% is all I ask. Too many players have walked around with a white flag for too long. Go all out tonight for a win. If they lose but can walk off with their heads held high is all I ask

Lawro backing Everton. Yesss

Didn't think I'd be this annoyed about it, but there you go. Football eh.
