He's cost usDoucoure getting sent off for violent conduct is absolutely pathetic. Instant three-game ban because you can't control yourself. Pretty much the most harm you can do to your team in a relegation run in.
These players won’t respond to the atmosphere. They’ll hide and crumble this time. It’s already nervy, and the crowd are exhausted dragging these lemmings to points. Even if they do respond, there isn’t the quality to capitalise. Should have been 2 ahead at half time. The game was literally right there to win.Goodison crowd will keep us up again. You can't win them all at home. Dyche has won most of his home games, but you'll lose some.
Bournemouth may already be safe last game and I don't think Newcastle will be able to handle the atmosphere. Leicester away also key. We should be okay.
Difficult? Yes. Tough? Well put your self in the shoes of Leicester, Leeds or Forest.
their games are tougher… quite a lot tougher….
I know we’re all depressed and can’t see where the next point is coming form, but if we take a step back, we’re in a better situation than the other three..
We're in a collapse, Dave. Four games without a win, one win in our last eight, our last away win (our only one this season) was on the 1st October. We've taken nine points away from home all season and of our three remaining home games, two are against the teams who are second and third in the league. We probably need nine points from six games, maybe more, it's looking bleak.I fear Leicester especially now.
We needed to be 3 or 5 points ahead to hold them off.
I think we're another loss away fro a collapse.
This was massive this game and the players who were out there didn't respond. Yes we are unlucky with injuries, but we needed to build a platform at HT when we were on top.
The resolve looks in short supply. I'm struggling now with this.
Problem is winning two out of the last three home games "only" takes the team to 33 points and the GD isn't great now.
The formula is simple now and actually a little similar to the situation this time last year.
Need to dig out a Chelsea style shock 1-0 win from somewhere to galvanise everyone and get the crowd onside. Man. City or Newcastle, think we know which one is more likely.
Then need to back that up by going away somewhere and winning like Leicester away.....
Do that and Bournemouth at home is a one off Palace style atmosphere and hopefully similar result.
However as said above there just isn't the same feel as last year where a proper relegation scrap was actually something new for a generation of fans and there was obviously far better quality in final third with Gordon, Richi and a working DCL.
Go behind in games and there's hardly any proven attacking game changers on the bench. Way it's going Gray will probably be dropped down to the bench next week as surely have to go with 3 man central midfield to try to get close to Eze.
Some of that spice there sonTo be honest, I think 33 points might keep us up.
I reckon it is going to be a real low threshold this season such is the low standard of the botton five teams.
The morons who run this club will still run it in the Championship, they won't suddenly quit and they won't suddenly know how to run a football club. Relegation is an existential threat to Everton football club. Forget about the stadium, if we go down Everton may cease to exist in its current incarnation. Kenwright, Moshiri and Usmanov are uncomfortably close to killing this club entirely. Relegation will only hasten that. We must stay up. Sadly, it's not looking likely that we will.I'm really torn. Part of me thinks I'd feel better if we just went down and gambled that this brought about the complete sweeping away of players who aren't bothered and the inept, inadequate and incompetent board who have brought us to this position. 2 years of scrutinising the results of Burnley, Watford, Leeds, Southampton and Leicester is just grim. If it wasn't for the potential financial armageddon I'd think a year in the Championship would be short term pain for long term gain. Grim.
