Everton V Spurs

tippspur

Time to get a thread going for tomorrows game,toffees not doing that well at home while our away record is good so far,another three points to keep the show on the road hopefully...........coys

I wish I had your optimism. Moussa out will be a big loss on current form, and with Eriksen not firing on all cylinders that leaves a lot of creative work for Ali in midfield. Nabil/Mason probably won't get the start having been out for so long; so Carroll comes in?

Lukaku on great form, will be tough to stop him. Everton and the rest of the media are bigging up our title challenge, so it will be a true test of our mental resolve.

After the first 4 games this season, we were able to play with little pressure and expectation. Until the Watford game, and that performance wasn't convincing.

This is a game we always lose, but with MoPo at the helm I hope this has changed.

Heart : 3: 1 spurs
Head: 1:1

A draw wouldn't be a bad result.

It's going to be a tough game, and i think it'll be a score draw. Two of Englands best strikers with Kane and Lukaku, but they have Deulofeu who has been creating a huge amount of chances. Our wing backs will need to on top form today, and stop any crosses being delivered.

Agreed.

I didn't know James Mc Carthy was out though, and potentially Cleverley too. Howard's form has Toffee fan's worried too.

These might give us a boost, and we might have a chance(to win). COYS

Who do you think will start at full back? I think Trippier/Rose are the more attacking players so today we'll see walker and davies?

I'd prefer if Mason and Son start over Eriksen and Carroll. Keep Alli pushed forward, let Mason replace Dembele.

Wouldn't be too disappointed with a draw, although a win would be huge, their defence is vulnerable.

It's important we don't lose this match.

I wouldn't mind if we set up to stop them scoring and got a 0-0 or even nicked it.

Lukaka is giving me the fear in a big way but Everton are easy to take apart themselves, and are not good at home. If the centre halves lock the big man down I'd be confident we can score a few

They haven't beaten us in the last 6 EPL games

Everton's home form is one of the worst in the league (16th to be exact) every game is important but everyone around us won yesterday so I feel we need the win here, in reality I'd probably take a draw.with no injuries.

jobeenfitz

I wonder with Everton playing semi final midweek, could they take their eye off de ball today. Or we beat them cos we'r Fekn great, Il take either!

Great, Carroll and Eriksen start.

Caroll needs to fight hard today if he wants to be a central midfielder.

Eriksen needs to raise his game.

Think we'll get well beaten today. Both players are too light weight.

Yeah it's worrying. Carroll for Dembele is a massive loss of power in midfield heading into a tough away game.

sh1tting myself looking at our childs mf - id take a score draw now

MonkieSocks

Happy with the back four.

Midfield of Carroll and Dier need to be at it from the start.

I meant when the pressure and expectation was on us. And spotlight like usual when we play on a sunday.

mass_debater

Good ball in by Walker, hopefully Trippier showed him what he's missing from his game

Sugarlumps

Sweet hit.
