Relegation 2022/23

[Liam-EFC]

 

[Stanley Parker]

We were relegated the day they sold Richarlison, even if it was a financial decision.

But there have been plenty of shocking football decisions since then.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

We replaced our best player and only attacker with 3 holding midfielders

 

[Street end man]

And got Mykolenko in for Digne.

To have any chance to survive , dyche needs to change some of perpetually dismal starting players like godfrey, keane, and iwobi maybe bring in one of the few players who is decent on set pieces, can play with the ball at his feet and able to properly pass such as garner. I'm dubious he'll change anything though as he seems very tethered to a set approach with his preferred players regardless of form

 

[matty1878]

i can’t believe the club will now sink into the footballing abyss

so hard to take never take nothing for granted

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

And got Mykolenko in for Digne.

Spent 10 million on a 4th choice RB

 

[RomanReigns]

i think ultimately having the worst wing backs in the league meaning players dont get forward enough or create an overload on the wing to create space to cross in the box is our downfall

Gana isnt a holding Midfielder just a box to box ball recycler who doesn't possess any attacking prowess. But hes awful when tasked with serving as the anchor same issue as allan but I get your point no creativity or even someone to carry the ball down the pitch like Barkley did before he became vermin

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Don't know how anyone can be confident on us bouncing back either. The 2 teams going down with us will be better and have an actual plan

 

[gonetomorrow]

We're donald ducked .

 

[Curtis]

One of most troubling aspects besides the obvious lack of goals is that even other relegation threatened teams can make simple passes and link play we cant even perform basic stuff that they do in the national league

 

[efcforever]

This is absolutely true. If you are not a regular in the CL then eventually you will fall into a relegation spiral, just look at the only permanent PL members (soon to be reduced by one sadly).

It's actually amazing that we have been able to be mediocre for 25 years and not fall through the trapdoor.

That's how I see it as well. The teams that haven't been in the CL a few times eventually get on a bad run, change manager too many times and eventually go down.

We have been something of an anomaly to this until now.

Ok we replaced our best attacker with 2 holding midfielders and a midfielder who can't dribble, carry the ball, pass, shoot or even play holding midfield in that case

 

[Greenfield Wolf]

I don't think we'll beat wolves, I was asking a question

Good luck , go and beat Leicester, can’t stand Smith and Vardy!
