BARRY HORNE: There’s nowhere quite like Goodison Park at night!

Louis Saha 300[LNB]I was as disappointed as anyone with the result at Anfield last Saturday - not just with the scoreline, but with the sense that, just as at Goodison, we actually deserved to get something out of the game.[LNB]But what a wonderful reaction four days later, to once again raise the spirits - and typically at an evening game.[LNB]I always say that Goodison Park under the floodlights is one of the best atmospheres to play in front of . . . anywhere.[LNB]The win against Chelsea - and the timing of that victory - was perfect in so many ways, coming as it did after the disappoint- ment of the derby and ahead of a blank weekend when people might have festered on a poor result and made David Moyes' job even more difficult ahead of massive couple, of weeks.[LNB]This is, in effect, the early stages of the start of the run-in.[LNB]It will be difficult to imagine the atmosphere on Tuesday being anything like what it might have been - bearing in mind the weird kick-off time.[LNB]But with European qualification through the Premier League looking difficult to say the least, the one chance Everton have of making this yet another memorable season is through success in the Europa League.[LNB]Hopefully there will be another chance to savour a magical evening at Goodison, once we have negotiated our way past Sporting Lisbon.[LNB]There's nowhere better at night!
