Jacksgranda Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) Vital - and by all accounts, deserved - win over Nottingham Forest at Goodison, two goals and a clean sheet. Coupled with Brentford's demolition of Luton yesterday gives the Toffees a little bit of breathing space and a boost to the goal difference over both Forest and Luton. I can now relax.

I reckon three points required for safety (assuming no further deductions). Just need Clyde to get their fingers out too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I wrote "I can now relax", I actually just meant until the next game, I don't think Everton are safe yet, quite liable to lose to both Liverpool and Brentford. (Quite liable to win both, too, although not so likely.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 3 points against Sheff U or Luton will be enough. Luton have 4 games left so unlikely they will get 9 points from that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley - Manchester United A, Newcastle United H, Tottenham Hotspur A, Nottingham Forest H Luton - Wolves A, Everton H, West Ham A, Fulham H Nottingham Forest - Manchester City H, Sheffield United A, Chelsea H, Burnley A Everton - Liverpool H, Brentford H, Luton Town A, Sheffield United H, Arsenal A Before last Saturday I would have said Luton were quite capable of picking up 9 points from those set of fixtures - and I still wouldn't bet against them - Everton would need to ensure 3 of those points aren't against them. Everton ideally would need to beat Brentford and Sheffield United to ensure safety. Still nervy times ahead, I fear.

SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 My list of players who need to be released/sold and replaced with better and importantly quicker players (money issues accepted). Gomez, Idrissa Gueye, Coleman, Young, Dele Alli, Godfrey and Keane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luton really surprised me at Goodison. Very direct, and Morris was a real handful. Decent outfit on that showing. Sheff U - great day out in the sunshine but two points dropped against a poor team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Sooooperb. A lovely wee double whammy of putting relegation to bed and all but screwing up the red shite title hopes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Threatened to be a bit like a few other Everton games this season where they started excellently but gradually lost any attacking threat before eventually conceding, however they seemed to get their act together after half-time and put in a really effective counter-attacking performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Relief. These past couple of games have been what you'd hope for from a Dyche team, which I also think is what you'd want from an Everton team. He's not perfect but he's a good fit, though it's easy for me to say as I'm not paying to watch it every week. Did this week, though, and it was a good one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
