Don't defend deep in our own half and invite them to chuck balls in the box? Also be careful not to give free kicks away.
I agree, we need to take it to them. So we don't concede territory and allow them balls into our box, because they aren't very good and are low on confidence, and because it will nullify their crowd.

So by not giving away free kicks, I take it Yates won`t be picked(hopefully)

This is my thoughts too, we've got to assume we will concede at least once so we should go for it. Based on how we've played generally recently, this is how I would expect us to go. As long as Origi is nowhere near the team...
Ideally Elanga or Taiwo is available for a bench role, anyone heard anything?

Fulham bombarded out box in the second half and we handled it.
Go at them, rattle them, score 2 - then bring on Taiwo and Yates to wind everyone up. Get Pickford sent off get them relegated then sign Pickford in the summer

They also hit the bar from another and looked like they could score on every one.

Yes, but not because of our ability to defend set plays.

Who would benefit most from a draw. Normally the away team would be the happier with a draw but i am not sure in this game. If it is a draw they will still be a point ahead with the games to reverse that down to four and our next one being against Man City. I think we need to win this game.

We need to get after these straight from the kick off.
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack.
Lets not fall into the trap of worrying about them and playing their game.
Panic on the streets of Croydon, Derby, Sheffield, Leicestershire.

I’ve listened to nothing but Everton today on the radio. The pressure on them is immense but could inspire them. That is my worry. However, can really see them turning on them if they don’t turn up or wilt…
