These matches should be seen as opportunities for the fringe and young players to show Koeman what they are about. I don't want us to lose but I didn't have any emotional attachment to the Chelsea or Swansea games. They mean nothing to us although I'd like to think we'll get Gylfi on a cut price deal due to us keeping his side in the league. Irrespective of how it effected Hull, that's a bit of a miserable attitude for a club like Everton. Earned the right by finishing 7th? This season hasn't been a blaze of glory for Everton, they're returned to par. If Koeaman is to earn his crust you need to be fighting at the top next year.

It's still important to get points on the board in the remaining matches so that we are as close as possible to 6th. We need to be going to players saying that we're at the bottom of the top 7, not the best side outside the top 6.
LFCMadLad Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Koeman has a big job on his hands next season. If he fails to break the top 6 most people won't be too surprised but if he drops below 7th then that will unquestionably be seen as an outright failure. Hes on a hiding to nothing really.
Administrator Stan Posted May 7, 2017 Administrator Posted May 7, 2017 daquf is Stephens doing there, throwing his elbow towards the ball? Blatant penalty and a chance of a breakthrough for Liverpool. Been a shitty game so far as well. Southampton were comfortable.
Administrator Stan Posted May 7, 2017 Administrator Posted May 7, 2017 PENALTY SAVED!!! Milner misses a penalty!
Rick Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Well that was dogshit. It's in Utds hands now. Gutted isn't the word. Luckily Utd still have to play Arsenal and Spurs

Rick Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 I can't say with any confidence that we'll beat either West Ham or Middlesborough and that's disheartening as fuck when you look at what's on the line.

Returning to what we were was needed first, only way we'd have pushed on further was if those above had a massive capitulation. We're not that good, in a league of our own this season, another summer (and then some) away from top 6 but better than 8th down by some distance.
Administrator Stan Posted May 7, 2017 Administrator Posted May 7, 2017 well this game between Arsenal and Man Utd has had much more to it in half an hour than the earlier game did in 90. De Gea has made some fabulous saves to keep it at 0-0. Rooney had a great chance to make it 0-1 after a defensive lapse but Cech saved well.
6666 Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Wouldn't say either side has dominated but overall we were the better side in the half. Can see the game Mourinho's playing, sit back and see if you can pull the opponent's trousers down on the counter. Had a few good opportunities but nothing that's really troubled De Gea.
Cicero Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Vintage Mourinho. Having talented attacking footballers in Mata and Mikhitaryan playing wingbacks
Administrator Stan Posted May 7, 2017 Administrator Posted May 7, 2017 1-0 Xhaka. Huge deflection as Herrera turns his back on the shot. Loops over De Gea.
Toony Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Good strike, big goal. Can't believe the rotation that Mourinho has done, thought he'd be desperate to get another one over Wenger.
Administrator Stan Posted May 7, 2017 Administrator Posted May 7, 2017 2-0! Welbeck gets in a header off the bar. Goals in quick succession.
6666 Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Lucky goal but Xhaka has been very good overall in the game. His passing as usual has been great, never gets credit for it. EDIT: 2-0. Lovely header from Welbeck. Man Utd definitely need to come out their shell now.
Administrator Stan Posted May 7, 2017 Administrator Posted May 7, 2017 Liverpool will be loving this I presume.
LFCMadLad Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Just now, Stan said: Liverpool will be loving this I presume. Not really. Arsenal are renowned for finishing strongly and this will give them confidence whereas we look to be shitting bricks.

You only have 2 games left, West Ham & Middlesbrough. We have 4 league games left after this. We need you to drop more points and need to win all our games. Liverpool still big favourites.
