2024/25 Relegation Thread

[knowing your history]

This time last year (nearly) the rats at the PL decided to do us over. We then had a bad loss to Man U, so headed in to December on 4 points.

I'll say that again. December. 4 points. It's only the 4th of November now, and 4 points would have you second bottom.

He did remarkably well to keep the players focused, motivated and not looking like they had ready made excuses.

He still gets spoke about like a dog though. I think it's a hangover from the cesspit this place became during the Benitez period myself.

Funny thing is, I'm almost certain some of his critics went to bat for Lampard, and he's definitely a worse manager than Dyche, yet they're now belittling anybody who wants to back this Everton manager.

12 months ago had just won 1-0 at West Ham so that's the challenge, replicate that result. Also beat Bournemouth 3-0 and won at Palace before the first deduction dropped so I fear the team was just playing significantly better compared to now and then the deduction galvanised the team to win four in a row which pretty much secured safety.

I can't see anything like that happening with the fixture list for the next two months.
