Everton v Coventry

[CorkyOnTour]

Feels like we've had so many of these games down the years.
"win and we go into the top 4/5, and we can kick on"

cue defeat and a long international break to stew on a missed opportunity.

Remember we had Villa very early in one season, Friday night go 2nd. Lost 3 nil

Branthwaite should be available, Grealish still in Siberian exile.

Not to take away from his improved performances, but I think one of the reasons he looked so much better in the two games v Newcastle was how naively Jaissle set up the Newcastle team with midfielders flooding forward, and loads of space for KDH.

Coventry won't be that naive. They usually sit 2 DMs in there behind Rudoni, so there'll be less space for KDH to operate, although Yirenkyi has looked a bit of a chaos merchant for a DM.

What was Thomas Myhre doing trying to catch the Dion Dublin header btw

One of the biggest gulps I've ever taken in my life when that happened.

Thought I'd relive some Lampard ball. Great running all round but the effort levels of Van der Beek and Gomes are particularly impressive

[Gary1878]

As games in the Premier League go, this is as easy as it will get for us, and we have to win it. Anything else is a disappointment.

It feels like the players are ready to take the next step in our progress. We failed several times last season to take these kinds of opportunities, but these latest Newcastle games have felt like turning points. Although I wasn't impressed at all with Newcastle, that's still a tough place to go and win comfortably.

I think its also really important for the fans to feel like we are making progress. A failure to win tonight will halt the really good momentum that we have had from the last few days, and stop it in it's tracks.

First game for me at the new ground, just landed back in the UK and absolutely buzzing for this.

One of the lads I’m going with absolutely hates Barry so I’m hoping for a Barry hat trick

[Bumble]

Hopefully he freshens things up a little otherwise we'll be out on our feet after 60 mins and we know how reluctant he is to change things around when a game isn't either already won or already lost.

Somehow forgot about this game and booked a night at the cinema with the missus to watch the Godzilla Minus Zero movie.

We normally do fantastic when I’m otherwise engaged (last time 3-0 Chelsea game) so hopefully you all get a lovely feast of football.

If we do have a feast, you might have to change your life slightly. For the greater good.
