If we continue with the usual mindset of allowing the opposition dominate us from the start and defend the point and try and snatch a single goal and hold, then I am afraid we deserve to get relegated. SC and the players need to show some balls and try and put Everton to the sword if at all possible, also I am sick of watching us constantly defending in our final third as apposed to playing in the opposition's penalty area!

Whilst I agree we should pick a more attacking central midfield for this game we need to be pragmatic and keep things tight. We cannot afford to lose by going gung ho and therefore giving Everton three points and a sniff of a turn around in fortunes. We have to stay solid but back our attacking players as being better than theirs (which they are). We should absolutely be aiming for 3 points but a draw wouldn't be a disaster. SC has had to curb the attacking way he wants the team to play in order to get points on the board and hopefully retain our Premier league status so we can keep building. I hope the crowd stay behind the team for this one, Everton will be making it a battle - that's guaranteed.

No way will Lingard be ready to be chucked into an intense game like this. He might get 20 mins at the end.

It does seem to have been forgotten that SC tried to go attacking on Saturday and we immediately conceded 4!
I think that is a bit misleading Wassy.

Yes but we didn't go attacking did we. We were 2-0 down before Shelvey had even sat down.

I usually worship the ground Cooper walks on but I dont agree that having the 2 slowest strikers in the Premier League on the pitch at the same time was an attacking move. Leaving 2 central midfielders neither of which is capable of a forward pass didn’t help either.
Scarpa was the more obvious one last week although I think he was not wanting to leave Williams exposed. Not that worked out.
