2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[NSNO1878EFC]

Technically that is not correct. Leicester are now on 17 points rather than the 16 Wolves and Ipswich are

The team in 18th before the game (Ipswich) have the same number of points as the team in 18th now (Wolves) so the relegation zone is no closer. Leicester are above both now in 17th.

 

[Timbucktoo]

Why ? Some of us a more optimistic - that’s fine. I am looking to go past a few more teams. 12-14 come the end of season please.

I still think Leicester are pants, as are Soton, Ipswich and Wolves.

Villa and Fulham wins later today and that will look very achievable.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Could have gone 12 clear over them with a win next week and would have had them essentially in the back mirror

Now even if we win it’s only going to be 9, and if we somehow spung it (which we’re very capable of doing) they’re just 3 behind

Next week is season defining

Some people acting like we are a moyes team of old. We still have a very poor side. We beat Tottenham who were awful as proven again today and Brighton we stole a win by all accounts through a penalty when we were going away from goal and did nothing else all game. To think we will just easily beat Leicester is laughable.

We need to win and with Moyes we have a better chance, but this is a very dodgy game that we can easily lose.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Who are Spurs fans singing that they want out? Levy?

They buy or sell a player and there are pics of Levy with those meme pixel sunglasses on flooding the internet, because he’s such a shrewd operator.

One dimensional manager the fans all wanted is apppinted, starts having a mare and has no plan B and whilst refreshingly honest speaks horribly in pressers etc. O don’t think it’s a good look tbh. 26582 injuries occur and it’s Levy out again.

Complex club.

What

 

[Charlie Sweet]

What????
Weve just had a manager who didnt or should i say couldnt compete with Southamptons Fulhams Bournemouths of this world.

At the very least Moyes goes and believes he can win against these type of teams.
The ginger fella before him set up like we was playing 70s Brazil every week.

Assume you're new to this. Moyes doesn't win big games for us. Never has and never will.

We’ve done well in the crunch time 6 pointers in recent years (thinking of Forest and Burnley last year at crucial times)

We won 3 on the bounce last season to make ourselves secure.

No reason why we can’t do it again and make another statement at home. Our confidence should be as high as anyone’s

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Exactly this. I want to be positive, and I think we will be fine. But Moyes lost his first game at home. We almost threw a three nil lead last week and we parked the bus for 50-60 minutes yesterday. It's very fine margins. Still. We lose to dross like Leicester at home all the time.

I just want to be as far as possible from 18th so I can enjoy the end of the season and have a cup run.

any complacency will be absolute death to our survival chances if it feeds through to the players next week

Hopefully Moyes has them ready and we make Goodison a bear pit

 

[faddy the blue]

That'll do for Ange. I'd make a 30M move for Richy if TFG can just to test them.

Spurs can get Dyche now.

Newcastle at home 2004/05 the game that got us champions league qualification is a big one.

 

[Bilko]

It'll be a battle next week.

I think it will sharpen the minds of our management and players into exactly that.

 

[Del-boy]

Big games next week. Us v Leicester and Ipswich plays Saints, so they will more than likely get a win.

 

[matty1878]

Well… they are still below? Quite a way below as well??

ye but they won so it gets them closer

you know what i mean mike behave
