    Just get the win by any means necessary. Get through this game unscathed and we should look in much better shape with Casemiro and Eriksen returning after this.
     
    Manchester United playing the 12:30 game on a Saturday. A rare thing. Hopefully it brings better luck for us than Liverpool :lol:

    Ah feck, didn't see that. We are notoriously awful....in those games.
     
    Three points here and things will start looking quite rosey again. Everton will raise their game though we absolutely know that.

    Don't think you can argue that when we have been fairly decent under Dyche so far.
     
    I see people suggesting we start WW to counter Everton's physicality. What kind of midtable mentality is that? We shouldn't have to adapt to a relegation candidate by playing a lump up front. We need to play our style of play with the best player's available and up front, that's obviously Martial (as long as he's fit), Rashy + Antony or Sancho.

    I remember going to a United vs Burnley game a few years ago where I was sat behind the dugout and noticed Dyche was constantly shouting for every 50/50 challenge to be given as a free kick to Burnley. They ended up scoring from the old Dyche method of pumping a free kick from the half way line into the mixer and winning the second ball. They won 2-0. Proper energy-sapping stuff.

    Yep, he's the fecking worst. I like to root for Everton to do fine in the league. Not with that negative prick managing them. This will be a shite, tough game if United don't score early.
     
    Obviously they’re gagging for points and love a game raise against us but we still should be winning this. Our home record is on the whole excellent.

    Also, is he even that physically strong or good in the air? I've barely seen him win a header despite being 6'6.

    Had to do a double take when I saw the game was on a Saturday. It's been 2 months since they last played on a Saturday. Not sure why but I feel a little better about Everton currently safe going into the game vs being in a relegation spot. Either way Dyche will have them defending for their lives to scrape a point.

    I used to think he was an ultra negative manager too until he started managing us.
     
    Cantonagotmehere said:
    My least favorite manager in sports. Dyche will get them kicking ankles and punching kidneys. The old squad talk of calling the other team a bunch of C's. I want them relegated just so he's gone from the Prem.

    Hope none of our guys get hurt.

    Don’t forget eye-gouging. I saw something online saying Eriksen might be ready. Could be good. Definitely one for McT I’d say
     
    It's at Old Trafford so I'm confident we will win, so long as no one goes sliding in carelessly.
     
    Same team 1st half, Eriksen and Martial to come on 2nd.

    Seeing a lot of people suggesting Maguire over Varane for rotation but I'd start Varane and if we're comfortable then make the change.

    Kept thinking this game is away for some reason - thank goodness it's at home and last one without Case. It's going to be a dog fight, not only do Everton desperately need the points but, Everton do like raising their games against us (and for some reason almost never do against Liverpool). Let's just hope they can start as well as they did yesterday and convert early enough to snuff out any fire from them.

    Martial starting would be great - he has been good against them.

    We all think Everton never raise their game against Liverpool. That’s what they probably say about Utd nowadays.

    This. Also WW couldn't win a physical battle with my neighbour's cat, so struggle he would have any use in so-called physical matches.
     
    Think we'll win but Dyche has been a thorn in our side at OT for years and he's got half that Burnley team playing for Everton
     
    From what I'm seeing and hearing there's a chance that Calvert Lewin maybe will be fit. Always against us....
     
    I'd be sort of tempted to give Pellistri a shot at LW, as Everton don't really have a RB who can deal with a direct dribbler and Rashford up top should be a worse opponent for Keane and Tarkowski than the slower Weghorst.

    Coleman might do okay against Sancho, but Pellistri running at him for an hour sounds like a bad time for a 34 year old. Or Martial up top and Rashford wide left if Martial can handle an hour.
     
    Everton always play their cup final against us. They rival Tottenham in the shittest derby team ever stakes. Their MO is to roll over for their actual derby rivals and help them in other games (ie Spurs beating City recently). Fecking pointless derby teams.

    Everton are almost always tough to beat.

    They will sit deep and make it on counter and set pieces.

    Hope this last game without Casemiro will be a win, as this is vital to win this game before Sevilla, Forest, Brighton in FA Cup, and the 4 matches that will define the season that are Spurs away, Villa home, Brighton away and West Ham away

    Only when it comes to Utd.

    Everyone else, Liverpool included they roll over and lube themselves up for the shafting.

    I think it is going to be a tough game, but another narrow win either 1-0 or 2-1.
     
    it’s about all about the 3 points here as I think we’ll secure top 4 with a win . With Spurs run in I can’t see a 6 point turnaround if they do beat us
     
    I can't get over the fact a match going Newcastle fan will be refereeing our game tomorrow. It's mental.

    Isn't that a case for a referee to get sacked? If a referee is seen wering a specific club's shirt, that is considered a professional violation of the principle of impartiality. We don't feck around with stuff like that in North America (think of Tim Donaghy).
     
    Great to see Eriksen back in the squad. But fully imagine he'll be eased in with a sub or two appearances, regardless of this being Casemiro's last game of his ban.

    Hopefully, after a couple of sub appearances, Martial is ready to start for an hour or so. Obviously Malacia in for Shaw. Could be either RB starting. And not sure if Fred will get a game, but can't see many unenforced changes from a winning team...

    McTominay
