Tbf most were singing Lampards praises last year after we escaped relegation as well due to how low morale got under Benitez so a similar situation now with Dyche potentially saving us from lampards poor season

Yeah, anything can still happen and there will be an unexpected result or two still to happen. On balance I’d have taken my chances at 34 before yesterday but 36 is the first number that looks fairly bulletproof. Get to 36 and 2 out of 3 of the following are required:
Leicester getting 2 wins from 3
Leeds getting 2 wins from 3 and overturning a 4 goal deficit, or getting two wins and a draw
Forest getting 4 points from 3 (or 3 and overturning a 10 goal deficit).
I can’t see more than one of those happening.
Those incidents were lampard related, thankfully the fool is now a long way from goodison

Yeah the thing with Leicester is that they don’t really look like they’re putting it all on the line. You’ve got two out of contract (Tielemans and Soyuncu) and Maddison almost certainly off, possibly Barnes too, no matter what happens. That’s basically the core of their team who are offski and are you really going to risk your big move in crunch 50/50s for a team you’re leaving?
Three from five? Who faces Premier League relegation?
With Premier League relegation now expected to be between five teams, who is most likely to suffer the drop?

Imagine feeding it, and taking it for walks!
Moaning that the grass is too wet for him to have a dump.
All good points but I couldn't see us going to Brighton and scoring 5 yesterday...to coin a phrase it's a funny old game.
I just hope to god you're right kind sir.

I don't think Leeds will get another win. With the RS creeping up on those CL places I can see Newcastle and even Spurs just winning and winning by quite a serious margin. You never know what West Ham will do but it's at the London Stadium so you'd fancy West Ham to get something.
Leicester worry me. I think they have the toughest run and you'd expect Liverpool and Newcastle to beat them comfortably too but but as long as they have players like Maddison they have a punchers chance. That said, the players look spent and their better players like Maddison will already be thinking about where they'll be playing next season. We really should have beaten them. Someone else said they're playing like a team that haven't actually accepted the situation they're in so that might go in our favour.
Forest have Chelsea away (do us a favour Frank), title chasing Arsenal at home and Palace away. They could quite easily not pick up another point this season
My heart says:
Leeds will get 1 more point.
Leicester will get 1 point.
and Forest no points.
My head disagrees and assumes Leeds and Leicester will win all their remaining games, and Southampton will go on a 3 game winning streak scoring 5 goals per game just to really rub it in.
I have no idea what we'll do. We could go get a point against City, put in a real battling performance and then tank against Wolves and Bournemouth. Or we batter wolves and be safe by the last game. Hell, we could even scrap a win against City you never know - it's unlikely but I thought getting a point at Brighton was unlikely. We could not pick up another point and still survive. What's nice now is that it's in our hands and as long as Dom stays fit, and Yerry stays fit we have a chance.

Leeds at home to Spurs on the final day is very dangerous. Spurs are a pathetic side and very cowardly, if we match Leeds’ result against Bournemouth though we should be fine. Yesterday has really flipped things around in our favour. One more win should all but close it out.

Moshiri wanted to sack Lampard at the end of last season but was talked out of it by the board.
We need to assume we need another win. We are only 2 points clear so one unexpected result could get us back into trouble. One more win for us means our rivals need 2 wins from 3, and it also brings Forest back into the mix.
The issue with Leicester is that their defending has been abysmal for a number of weeks, including against us. We just didn't quite do enough to punish them. But they can score goals, and that gives them a chance of pulling off an unexpected win. One positive for us is both their next two opponents are still pushing for top 4 and have a lot to play for. I have no problem with admitting that I hope the reds absolutely demolish them on Monday.
Evans is going to be back for them. He's probably not fully fit and could break down again, but he's their best defender, and won't make basic errors. They are scoring goals so if they do cut out errors they can win games.
