Somehow, Everton would lose to Everton at home.

 

[knowing your history]

I don`t think its losing to teams like Villa that is a concern for people, but more the fact that its very tight behind us and each game you lose is another chance to push away from the bottom 3. Other teams have shown they can raise they game when some of the top half teams come to town, but our lot just don`t seem to have it in them. If Moyes can get us scoring we`ll be all right, but if he can`t sort that out it could be third time unlucky at avoiding the drop.

Need to get wins at Goodison sooner or later, 4 points from Spurs and Leicester is a must, ideally six just to get a decent buffer between Wolves and Ipswich again.

RS are coming into the horizon now on the fixture list so under no circumstances can it go to needing to win 4 of the last 5 at home to stay up which will be a monumental challenge with the present lot.

Own goals, for sure.

Both the home and away sections booing in harmony.

 

[Blue peter]

Why would we panic losing to villa and spurs?

They're both much better sides than us right now with decent managers....

Both have depth and pace which is something we can only dream of...

We'll get more points playing proactively under moyes rather than trying to draw 0 0 and having no plan b when we concede under dyche

Until we do get more points on the table, it should be worrying for every supporter when we fail to win. Arsenal, City, Villa and Spurs are one thing, but it’s the other teams we are also failing to win against. Moyes really is the litmus test for the Dyche argument that a better manager gets more out of these players. In the absence of any incomings so far it will be interesting to see if that hypothesis is actually proven correct. Now is the moment of truth.

Well if you read my comments in full the provision to that support is always that if in danger of relegation support would be withdrawn.

In any case, it's a no brainier that we should be considering a Plan B right now.

He`s been in post for a full week and one game and according to you, the new owners should be planning to get rid of him ???????

Let me guess this would somehow involve the appointment of Gareth Southgate

Nah. He surely wouldn’t ever rep Southgate. That would just be a display of blatant WUMming which according to the forum rules should have him banned

I think Southgate gives the England team problems.

He's 'kin useless. A media friendly safe pair of diplomatic hands who knows f.a. about using some of the best players in Europe to good effect.

I think this is one of the reasons that Southgate keeps his job for so many years: he weaponises his role as manager of England to bring young players in to get interested parties together for sale/purchase. He's a facilitator of asset stripping for the 'top 6'. You could also see him doing Chelsea's bidding getting in the ear of McKenna on tv last week. He's rewarded for all that with good relations with the game's authorities in this country.

I don't think either of them is likely to argue with Southgate playing the rotation players in the rotation fixture.

Guardiola may be irked if Southgate plays Stones three times. Looks like he's the only player retained from the draw against Poland.

I see no Liverpool players being rotated in and out.

Southgate is a turd.

Our next 5 games
Spurs (H)
Brighton (A)
Leicester (H)
RS (H)
Palace (A)

Wolves next 5 games:
Chelsea (A)
Wolves (H)
Villa (H)
RS (A)
Bournemouth (A)

Ipswich next 5 games:

Southampton (H)

Leicester next 5 games:

Everton (A)
Arsenal (H)
Brentford (H)

No games are a given but we have to take advantage at Goodison and we will

Hope you’re right, all evidence so far points to the contrary, need to drop certain players and try different formations to have any chance (plus any new signings of course)

I'm starting to dislike him, certainly. He's one of those keepers that the defenders don't trust and it shows. He needs to be dropped, Southgate needs to drop him and he needs to get down off his undeserved high horse.
