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?

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.

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.

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.
