Relegation 2022/23

[MikeH72]

Interesting that you chose to use the last eight matches rather than the last four or six which show us higher up the form table..

What about the last two?

 

[Swartzy]

When will the pain stop.

Depends on your age and Health status really ( But even that would still only be a guess )

 

[Bkk Andy]

Oh look, there's Leicester at rock bottom...the team that's going to start playing like a CL club and blast out of the bottom 3.

They don't need to play like a CL club. They just need to win a game more than the rest of the dross.

 

[Jeff Jones]

Your lot can blow hot and cold. I can see Leeds beating Leicester then securing another win elsewhere. That should be enough.

If Leicester fail to beat Wolves on Saturday and then lose to Leeds I'm inclined to view their chances as very slim indeed.

I hope you're right, but Leicester have Maddison, Barnes, Tielemans and Vardy, who could all suddenly click.

Imagine Everton having just Vardy right now.

Vardy has 1 goal in 30 appearances for Leicester this season

He has scored the same amount of goals as maupay

Not necessarily. The below results would end with:

Everton - W2, D2, L3 = 35 points
Leicester - W3, D0, L4 = 34 points

What about the last two?

The last two isn’t an option on there.

Which is a shame, because last two games we’d be 16th on goal difference I believe

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Did people really think that Dyche would come in and we’d play consistently in every game regardless of injuries?

Just because we had a couple of bad games doesn’t mean we can’t ever play well again in the next 7. It’s an absolutely ridiculous recency bias. If we beat Palace away it will be just as ridiculous to say that we’re then safe because we’ll win future games.

Teams at the bottom are inconsistent and unpredictable. A few weeks ago there were people saying Forest and Leeds were safe, Leicester too good to go down. Now they’re right in the thick of it and all these other teams a mere 3 points ahead of us are ‘safe’.

A lot of these teams at the bottom are capable of losing every single game remaining. No one is safe yet, no one is down yet. A player coming back from injury, a suspension, a change in formation, could make all the difference over a 7 game stretch which is still an awful lot of football.

Thank god this place wasn’t around in the 90s, we used to have a better stomach for these sort of things.

Tis the internet and birth of social media is to blame where brain farts can be instantly expelled from the comfort of where ever and whenever and agreed or not by others. Act in haste repent at leisure. Pretty sure most had the same thoughts in the 90s just no instant platform to share so a degree of reflection and hopefully regulation of thought came about.

I’m glad this place wasn’t here in 97/98 , god I hated that season and I was a mess especially that day at Highbury when Adams danced through so I’ve no idea how depressing this place would’ve been .

 

[Thomasc]

Right now I’d be very surprised if we didn’t lose at both Palace and Leicester.

These players are an absolute stain on the club and the shirt. There are about 2-3 players in the whole squad with an a ounce of passion or confidence, the rest are absolute bums and deserve to be playing at a lower level.

McNeil has stepped up to the plate in recent weeks and despite a couple of bad games Godfrey cares and can turn in a decent performance too. Gana, Onana and Doucoure make us semi competitive if all fit and in the side, the rest are total tosh and the reason we are very likely to go down.

Dyche must be at his wits end with these pretenders.

 

[Tom Hughes]

Think I'd half prefer the glass half-empty approach, if only to prompt the same fever pitch support of last year's run in. Complacency, however slight, might lead to more similarly lacklustre performances by players and fans alike. I think too many people thought we only had to turn up against Fulham..... we noticeably wilted (albeit a weakened side) too easily.

 

[Gilbert..]

Vardy has 1 goal in 30 appearances for Leicester this season

Difference sadly is leicester do have a good enough team to click. Even if it hasnt happened that much. Scored almost double the goals than Everton. There is that slight hope that you'll have a day that you bang a few in.
I dont get that with Everton at all. Its soul destroying knowing you cant score and its more or less game over if you go 1 down.

 

[Drico]

Imagine Everton having just Vardy right now.

She'd certainly improve our social media numbers.

 

[Bkk Andy]

Not necessarily. The below results would end with:

Everton - W2, D2, L3 = 35 points
Leicester - W3, D0, L4 = 34 points

Sure, there are other points combinations too, but you're missing the point. Leicester don't have to become world beaters to escape.

 

[Raino85]

Not necessarily. The below results would end with:

Everton - W2, D2, L3 = 35 points
Leicester - W3, D0, L4 = 34 points

That would mean we have to win 2 and draw 2 of our remaining 7 games. One of which is Man City at home
