It's going to be a horrible match, pretty much everyone will be against us. The pundits, the commentators majority of fans. They so badly want a title race and milking the fact this will be the last derby at Goodison. It'll be nauseating.

They'll be spitting venom 2 wins in 13 matches there, that ain't good.

They've been s***e for years but our record at Goodison is woeful. It doesn't matter where the Bitters are in the table it's one of our toughest away games of the season. I'd take a point and get out of there with no injuries.

Yeah mentioned it afterwards, but the Mane goal sticks out in my mind more than the 4-1.

Win this and its a dagger through the heart for them. For us to go nine clear with the same number of games played would be hugely significant mentally.

I'd take a point but a victory would be utopia. Expect Everton in the first half hour to bust a gut, be all over us, physical and in our faces. Don't concede in that first 30 mins then we'll have a chance of winning the game. Our record at theirs is not good in recent times apart from the Mane last minute goal and the 4-1 battering. Plenty of draws, five 0-0 s, exciting stuff.

He'll be disappointed more with the performance of the players rather than the result, he ain't losing any sleep over today.

f*** that, his target will always be the League and Champions League. The two cup trophies are there as consolation prizes. Winning the FA and League Cup is nice but it's not enough. Just look at managers who have won with trophy in the past ten years and have now either lost their jobs or are under pressure to keep their job.

Aye, priorities at THIS stage of the season 1. League 2. League Cup 3. Champions League 4. FA Cup Notice the emphasis on THIS ; )

Going out has improved our chances of winning the League. It's a f***ing no brainer. No extra games to now cram in between the League and Champions League campaign. Some right miserable sods on here.

It's not meek surrender it's about playing the cards that you have in front of you. It's clear our squad isn't good enough to fight on all four fronts. So you prioritize and manage your best players to go for the big trophies.

Has been for several years, our first eleven is right up there but our squad is not as strong to be fighting on all four fronts.

Exactly, who gives a flying f***? Plymouth yes credit to them but looking at the bigger picture, if they go down beating us in the FA Cup is pretty meaningless.

The media will milk it for what it's worth on the surface but deep down it doesn't mean anything. This result will be forgotten by next week because they know this game over the next month was at the bottom of our list.

The magic of the fa cup is the biggest myth in football. Upsets happen in every competition, it's complete b******s.
