If we score first, we stand a chance of killing the game off. But if they score the first goal they will probably sit back and defend it.
Southampton visit to Anfield on 8th March will be the only Premier league game in March. Fixtures Pilling up.We need to beat Everton tonight.
Its really this simple. Results are one thing but performance is another. I expect the players who did not take the long trip to Plymouth will perform at a high level tonight.
7 is still a 3 result lead. It's just not the best one. Really though now is the time to get yhe foot down. Arsenal now have martinelli, jesus, havertz and saka out.
Everton have problems too. Pickford O'brien tarkowski Braithwaite young Gueye garner Lindstrom dacoure ndiaye Beto Line up v Bournemouth which was a loss. Before is now also out. That's a big backing with a glaring issue with young v salah so I could see them try shut it down on the left with 2 back there and really just try to keep it tight. They will look for set piece for a goal chance imo.
they’ve also got a couple of winnable games in Leicester and West Ham before playing Forest away before United away and Chelsea at home in march. We have wolves home, Villa away city away Newcastle home before saints in March. As tough if not tougher run so the Everton and wolves game are important to win. Possible 15 points for us to play for in Feb compared to Arsenal 9. Put the foot down and build a lead. If both teams win all games wed be 12 points clear albeit having played a game more but would massively put the pressure on Arsenal going into time of year where the CL kicks off again and they may start to shift focus.
Before is now also out. It's clearly Guru Mito's musings on our place in spacetime, and how we can transcend the past, present and future and concepts of in, out and all around. Or he just wanted to say that Beto's injured, one of the two.
Wish I had your confidence in that, but one thing is clear - we can't blame Slot if they don't perform as he's wrapped them in cotton wool for this game.
There will be still 2 Champions league games as well as the Carabo cup final, then I think its the dreaded international break at the end of March
I fancy our chances if it is 11 vs 4 (Actually more like 11 vs 5 since it is Michael "Bullied-by-the-home-crowd" Oliver in charge)
Yes but the cup final is only a competitive fixture in an important competition if we win it. If we lose it, it will be downgraded to a meaningless friendly in a Mickey mouse cup.
