On TV, On course to rise up the league, lets hope its an ON Form performance.
.
Everton have had decent possession....even when losing to ManU (4-0) they squeexed the majority of the ball - 50.8% of it.
- and same with Spurs.....they lose (0-3) but again took 50.7% of possession. But am guessing they sat back and defended against ManCity as only had 34.6% of it. They dropped off some against Chelsea with only 43.3%...but with the Blues netting 2 in the first half - the Toffees were on the back foot and defensive for the first 15mins or so of the second - rest of the game was fairly even.
Their win against Bournemouth - they had 50.6% of the ball - was around the 70 to 80th mins when the game changed, play slowed up and then there was the Niasse goal - being why Bournmouth attacked hard and conceded a second within 5 minutes.
Blues haven't been great scorers as not many shots on target - and only had the 3 to the Cherries 4 - so far only averaging 2.
They'll be a pushover - all we need do is...............Score !

It's the same line up as last week. Personally I would have started with Vokes, who can hold the ball up better than Wood and then try to get men round Vokes to create pressure and score!!!!!!!!!!!
I see your point Dave, personally I'm not an admirer of Vokes and prefer Wood, with Vokes in the side it would probably mean more hoof ball, and yet who's to say it may still be hoof ball with Wood ?
Vlasic starts and Rooney benched for Niasse
Keane also back
Everton starting line-up: Pickford, Martina, Keane, Williams, Baines, Vlasic, Schneiderlin, Gueye, Sigurdsson, Niasse, Calvert-Lewin
Good cross from Ward and Baines puts it out for a corner.. . . . . . . cleared but BFC get a throw which comes to nowt, Everton break away and a weak shot is saved by the Pontiv
Niasse looking sharp, Pope doing well keeping them out.
.
that break from Everton just got them a shot on goal.....thats what we need do when we attack - get a shot off.
