Tomorrows a day for an early goal not to conserve energy!

Goal against you must mean?

I hope the crowd is up for this. The players deserve it. Worried it mignt just be a game we struggle with….draw

[Mellin]

Let's have one of those win things today please, Villa.

[PaulWinch again]

Unsurprisingly we didn’t taken full advantage the last time teams around us dropped points - because it was Palace. Need to win today.

Their record away this season, W 4 L 4 D 2. They are better away than home. Other than beating Man Utd in a backs to the wall dogs of war 1-0, they have beaten Wolves, Forest and a still struggling Bournemouth. They have lost to who they would be expected to lose to, Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea and then Leeds in the first home game.
Moyes will have them ready to scrap and rely then on Grealish to create.
But we should be beating them. With Onana and Kamara out, how Bogarde, Tielemans and McGinn handle their probable physicality is key.
I still think 3-1 with some uncomfortable moments, hoping and expecting the Holte to roar them on

Bit disappointed we couldn't stall the Malen deal until nearer the end of this transfer window but pretty sure there was a good reason. He must of known he was leaving before the Spuds game but still put in a great performance.

Tough game against the Toffees but should have just about enough to win by a goal.

The Holte and Lower North will no doubt create atmosphere. It's time for the other parts of the ground to step up. Wave your scarves, stamp your feet, clap your hands...do something if you don't want to join in with the singing!
Do/start something that becomes your thing.
UTV!

Bit more pressure on us today given the results yesterday. Still think there are enough players close to the top of their form to be too strong for Everton. Clean sheet would make things a bit easier. Motm, Buendia, 3-1.

[PeterWithesShin]

There'd be pressure on us whatever other results there were. Either to take advantage of bad results or keep pace with good ones. We're a top side now, pressure is every game.

[Allan C]

I dislike Everton almost as much as any other team so to stuff these 5-0 or better would make my weekend. However I’m thinking 2-0 which would suit me nicely

[eamonn]

Can we get El.Ghazi back for this one, just in case? Always good for a goal against this lot, he'd do a job with Donny gone.
