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

ziedth

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.

davycc

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.

Kimsang

post sick, looks like howard had it covered

MonkieSocks

Ard Luck Arry

Kiith

Very good start so far. So close for Kane.

davycc

Kimsang

davycc

Good prediction

Not much to say about that except where is the left back.

We should have two in the bag here, hopefully it doesn't knock us as its been a very bright start here.

2nd Row Donkey

Their tails are up.

We are all at Sea.

Kimsang

i blame walker with that sloppy pass to Eriksen. He is and always has been a liability. need sorting out that RB SPOT PLEASE MOPO.

prodsc

Not only does he score but he is starting to play!!

Sugarlumps

Fúck me!

davycc

davies off the post unlucky

Kimsang

frame of the goals again ... aghhh

Sugarlumps

Were playing well, no panic.

Agreed but the fullbacks have to watch for shrapnel bouncing off lukaku

davycc

walker cannot pick a simple pass!! donkey will cost us this game

davycc

come on spurs need to convert these chances into a goal before half time

Sugarlumps

Lovely build up play, goal before half time please. Team looks fresh and up for the fight.

mass_debater

We're not doing a whole lot wrong, we'll score eventually

Kimsang

Everton have a great 4 1 4 1 shape in defence, and when they get the ball they quickly transition and use the space well. They are going to score more. I think our game plan might be off here.

golfball37

Lamela not having his greatest game today. Dunno how we're behind but can't see Everton being as poor second half so I'm really worried
