RuffRob Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 I think the team are going to need the fans just like they did 12 months ago. A 12th man is very much going to be needed against a super confident Newcastle. After getting beaten by Fulham, I have this very much as a must win game just to keep us in the battle of staying up. Sitting in a relegation spot, out of a bit of form with 6 games to go is very worrying. Leeds, Leicester or both are going to take some points tonight. Even a win tomorrow only keeps up in the mix with these two. I think a defeat leaves us as a dead man walking, with City our next home game and our terrible away record.

Btay Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 We have beaten the league leaders at Goodison this year so we have to go in to this game optimistic that we can get something.

I believe they would be actually be 3rd on time since Unai took charge. but we digress. I have everything crossed that the last few games (mainly Fulham) was a blip and we get back the team we where a few weeks ago (or even better) with Onana, Duc's and now DCL in the starting 11. Fucking hope Newcastle have an off night, and any luck goes our way. I think tonight's result will have a massive impact on where we are going to finish.

I really hope Goodison is a cauldron for the team tonight. I'm inclined to agree. It is vital that we don't lose and that we put in one hell of a performance. A draw and a great performance would set us up nicely for the Leicester game. A win would obviously be even better. Basically, it's showtime as we are running out of games.

AlbanyNYToffee Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Don't see a way out of this without 4 pts from the next two. Leicester is a can't lose regardless and a must win if we only manage a draw tonight. I think we should just be hoping we have something to play in the last match against Bournemouth.
