Lawro predicts Everton to draw at Bolton

BBC football pundit Mark Lawrenson has predicted that Everton will draw at Bolton.

He told BBC Sport Online: “After beating Stoke 5-0 the other week Bolton fans will have thought that they were ready to kick on but they were defeated at West Brom last weekend and they were fairly meek and mild. West Brom won comfortably.

“Bolton are in the mire and they need to start picking up as many points as possible. Losing games knocks everyone’s confidence and all of a sudden mistakes start to flow and individual errors can kill you.

“Everton are looking like a mid-table team this season and unless they find a sugar daddy with hundreds of millions of pounds then any sort of deal to take the club over is not going to happen.

“Everton won against Wolves last week and I see this being a draw, which is not much good to either team to be honest.

“Prediction: 1-1.”

Lawro predicts Everton to beat Wolves

BBC football pundit Mark Lawrenson has predicted that Everton will beat Wolves.

He told BBC Sport Online: “A game that both sides need to win.

“Everton have played better than their points total suggests and in Jack Rodwell, Leighton Baines and Phil Jagielka they have three England internationals who all did their cause no harm at all in the wins over Spain and Sweden.

“Marouane Fellaini has signed a new contract and that is all Everton can do. They can’t afford to go out and buy anyone so they have to offer their best players good contracts and tie them up, or at least put in place a strong bargaining tool should anyone want to come in and buy them.

“Some fans are planning a protest but it is ridiculous, I don’t know what the fans expect. Nobody is interested in buying Everton, they don’t make any money on matchday and it would cost far too much to move to a new stadium. So the supporters have to get real.

“They consistently bat above their average thanks to the manager David Moyes and chairman Bill Kenwright, who consistently has to put fires out.

“Wolves came up with the win over Wigan last time out but it is a tough ask to go to Goodison Park and win.

“Prediction: 2-0″

“They’ll be like a wounded animal”

admin — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 09:34:43 +0000

Seamus Coleman has no fears of a potential Manchester United backlash at Everton on Saturday.

The Toffees host United in a lunchtime kick-off with the defending champions still smarting from last week’s derby demolition against Manchester City.

“I think teams coming here know what they’re going to get,” he told a press conference.

“We never give up and we play for the 90 minutes.

“Teams don’t get an easy game and we’ll be looking to do that again on Saturday.

“It’s a massive game in the Premier League and it’s really important to us.”

“Manchester United are definitely going to be going for it,” he added.

“They’ll be disappointed and we know they’ll be like a wounded animal, but we’ll be the same.

“The manager has said to us we need to get our heads on. It’s really important to us – a massive game at home.”

Lawro predicts Everton to lose to Man Utd

BBC football pundit Mark Lawrenson has predicted that Everton will lose to Manchester United.

He told BBC Sport Online: “This is a huge game for Manchester United after they were beaten so heavily in last weekend’s Manchester derby, but they will be ready for it.

“United boss Sir Alex Ferguson essentially played his second string in their midweek win over Aldershot in the Carling Cup and one of the things we have learned from Ferguson down the years is that there is often a backlash after a bad defeat, so we should definitely expect a reaction here.

“Everton had a tough game against Chelsea on Wednesday, losing in extra-time, and although they have a good record against United at Goodison Park in the last couple of years I think it is going to be very difficult for them to stop United from bouncing back with a win here.

“The Toffees beat Fulham last week but they had a run of tough games before that where they didn’t pick up any points and I cannot see them stopping a United side with something to prove.

“That cup defeat by Chelsea means that, when Everton boss Moyes celebrates his 10th anniversary as manager in March, he will have completed a decade in charge without winning a trophy.

“In the 1980s that would have been seen as a disappointing record but a lot has changed since then. Take away the top six in the Premier League, and you could say that success for the rest is about staying up.

“Money rules football and currently it is almost impossible for Everton to compete with the leading clubs financially. For them to consistently be in that group between the bottom 10 and the top six is an achievement, and for Moyes to have managed four top six finishes in that time is outstanding.

“Moyes has made very few bad buys, brings young players through and has constructed a strong squad. I cannot understand why some Everton fans criticise him.

“Prediction: 1-2.”
