"Everton can win the Premier League"

[MickM86]

yes...but that outcome probably (at this stage) predicates Man U winning the CL

No the reason I want to see it is to see how many points we had at this stage last year. If someone can post the table for my own reasons I appreciate it.

finally Moutinho time?

Doubt it mate, he is on 150,000 at Monaco, who are currently second place in the French league and play on the Riviera

I think we "can", in the same way Liverpool "can", but it's such a remote possibility.

The thing is though, if Liverpool are talked about as title contenders right now, then we should be too. It is completely fair to have Everton in the overall discussion, but it's only a jump away from crossing into delusion.

I just think Evertonians are genuinely excited by the team right now rather than deluded about our chances of success. None of us would put money on us winning the league, whilst Liverpool fans plow thousands of pounds across the board on exactly that every year. That's the difference I think.

Backed us at 150/1

If our current XI stays fit and carries on playing as they are, we'll come in the top 4.

It's all about our depth though, and realistically we need to replace some of the garbage as well as signing a few more. The biggest worry is on top of that we have to replace loans. At this stage you'd have to keep:

Howard, Joel, Coleman, Stones, Jagielka, Distin, Alcaraz, Baines, Oviedo, Pienaar, Osman, Barry, McCarthy, Deulofeu, Mirallas, Barkley, Lukaku. Now assuming Lukaku and Deulofeu don't come back next year, that leaves us with 15 players.

And a fantastic under 21 side that'll all be a year older. Add to that we can still look at a couple of loans to replace those that go out and we'll be fine. We'll also have Gibson and Kone back next season as well

Or us not winning the CL qualifier...

I honestly don't understand how you can have Liverpool taking 8 points from their far more difficult fixtures and us getting 6 points from ours.

Because they had 5 games compared to our 4.

 

[billycopper]

Mental. We will batter all of them.

We'll see. As I mentioned Swansea and Stoke have drawn half of their last 6 home games and Southampton have drawn half of their last 6 away games.

The teams with the most draws in the league are:

Everton 7
Southampton, Stoke 6
Sunderland, Cardiff, West Ham 5

 

[billycopper]

Is this a wind up?? You think the RS away to Spuds, City and Chelski + one winnable home game will out-perform us by 2 points? Is RAWK offline or something. :-0

For the second time, Liverpool had a game in hand on us, so it's 5 games compared to 4. If they beat Cardiff and Hull at Anfield they will have exceeded my points prediction regardless of whether they lose to City and Chelsea.

I'm looking at the league table and United and Spurs aren't in the top 5. That shows me how very hard this can be and that there's 7 clubs fighting for 4 places. The top 5 as of now has taken shape and there's more space between us and Newcastle but this is gonna be so hard. Do you think it will be this top 5 slugging it out or will Spurs and Utd come back into the fold?

Spurs might have a new manager by the end of the week

Don't write them off just yet

Who would be the favourite ? Can't think of a possible British manager.

has to be good for football though doesn't it ?.i'm probably in the minority but I think it's great that Merseyside is really making an impact at the top of the premiership for the first time in a very long time.it's refreshing to see a real challenge from both clubs imo

Capello might be worth a shout IMO

Despite the fact you've posted that as a wind up, and a pretty clever one at that lol, it would actually make sense. Perreira might well have been the brains behind the tactics when AVB was at Porto!
