Relegation 2022/23

[Cork Evertonian]

I'm not sure if a draw is of any use to us, it's better than nothing i suppose, but if we lose then i'm going to be 99% resigned to the fact that relegation is imminent.

Win tonight though and we have some glimmer of hope. Please win tonight you useless bums, just give us some semblance of hope!

 

[Bob Elstone]

Need the win. Go all out. They are horrendous in defence. They have the worst keeper in the league as well.

 

[Sona]

Leicester have 29 points

Yes, forgot to update it after their draw. Total points after the predictions still correct though.

 

[Gareth Gibson]

It’s awful isn’t it? We are absolutely dreadful.
But keep a calm head and remember that however bad we are, they are no better at all.
That makes it easier for me anyway.

and win tomorrow and suddenly we’ve a chink of real light and hope

100%.

 

[Gareth Gibson]

People do remember we literally drew at Palace two games ago? You’d think we were on a ten game losing streak the way people go on.

Great results this weekend. Teams have missed their chance, now it’s our turn, we’re capable of getting points from Leicester no question.

Bang on.

 

[faddy the blue]

We wouldn't save ourselves even if a rescue boat arrives exclusively for us in the middle of the ocean.

Our footballing ability is atrocious to say the least.

 

[If You Know Your History]

The team around us are just as pish.

One or two unexpected (any win now would be unexpected) wins and we’ll stay up.

Even Leicester isn’t the end - a point would be great.

If you think we’re dead and buried sell yer ticket for the remainder. I’ll be there top balcony against city - even if it is the relegation confirmation. Can’t stand constant negativity, clubs run by gobshites but we back the team til the very end

I know the away fans tomorro won’t go in with a defeated attitude and fair fcks to all going

Superb post.

We are not kopites; we don't just give up on our team when they're playing poorly.

 

[PhilM]

The Chelsea game was a year to the day; today, we're going to get a vital win again and give us the momentum needed for survival.

 

[GoldenToffee]

A draw I think would give us perhaps a 20% chance of still staying up, but we're definitely losing the next game with Brighton away.

The City game, even though I fully expect us to lose, we do play them smack bang between their two games against Real Madrid (Wednesday night away in Madrid, Sunday away to us, Thursday home to Madrid) and at a time where they'll likely be at least 4 points clear of Arsenal, possibly 6 if Chelsea can spawn a draw. The league would be over. They desperately want to get to their first Champions League final and they'll definitely still be in the tie by the second leg.

But we do have two on-paper favourable final games against teams who will have nothing to play for in Wolves and Bournemouth. They are about as good fixtures as we could choose.

Leeds fixtures:
City a, Newcastle h, West Ham a, Spurs h.

Forest fixtures:
Soton h, Chelsea a, Arsenal h, Palace a.

Leicester fixtures:
Fulham a, Liverpool h, Newcastle a, West Ham h.

It's hard to say any of those teams will pick up more than 4 points, and a draw tonight would mean, assuming they all pick up 4 points, would mean 6 points keeps us up from the remaining 4 games. It'd mean an away win though and we know we don't do them, but there would be at least a tiny flicker of hope up until the penultimate game.

Obviously a win tonight is massive, absolutely massive, and would make us favourites to stay up.

 

[Lob]

With Brighton and City being the next 2 fixtures, tonight is the very definition of a must win. While a draw might stop Leicester from going too far ahead, we have to take into account that we may get nothing at all in the following 2 matches and could already be relegated when it comes to the final 2.

They simply have to show up tonight and get the 3 points or it could be as good as over.

 

[Terrarian]

We're not a team who capitalises on others bad luck, we are the sort of team that if drowning at sea, we'd be rescued by the titanic

I'm not saying we're unlucky, but if we fell into a barrel of tits we'd come up sucking our own thumbs.

 

[FOXINPEACE]

Need the win. Go all out. They are horrendous in defence. They have the worst keeper in the league as well.

Danny Ward maybe. Iverson's better than some in the league though

 

[HappyJack]

On paper Leicester have a better team. They are at home. We are bottlers away from home. Unless there is a huge sea change and mindset change I cant see more than a possible point.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Is tonight gong to be the final let down/insult?

This Everton side is incapable of winning away, just 1 all season.... I can`t see us winning at all, there is a lot on here having big hopes for tonight (without substance), I`m afraid those thinking this is the start of the survival are going to be very very disappointed.

Confirmation of the worst for the most positive incoming....
