Relegation 2022/23

[COYBL25]

question if man city were per say to rotate their full 11 against us

could they get in trouble with the prem if they drop points?

Zero chance, as bar Haaland, they can pretty much replace every player, with a like for like replacement.

Don't forget, we have the enigma that is...Tom Davies. He'll rip them a new hole!

 

[Street end man]

Yes. This.

I'd say that in the last two games Everton have given performances that any top 6 team would be happy with.

Everton have played way beyond what any of the other relegation threatened teams are capable of.


We need others to still fail though. Another round of games this weekend where all three of Leicester, Leeds and Forest get beat means that - regardless of our result versus City - we'll be big favourites to stay up. If Liverpool, Newcastle and Chelsea play the way they can, that should happen.

100%

was talking to my arsenal mate the other day and we were saying how rare it is to score a goal in the very first minute of a game

maybe happens once every 2-3 seasons if you are lucky

this was after southampton scored in the first minute against them

i then told him we scored in the first minute this season v brentford and said i can't actually remember the previous occasion before that where we scored within the first minute, FA Cup Final 2009 aside.

now its twice this season after yesterday!

Just read an interesting one myself there too, if dwight mcneil manages to score another 62 goals these last 3 games he would become our 7th all time top scorer.

Pretty sure its Lewin away v Fulham in the BCD door game which was on BBC, and again before or after that Fulham game it was Lewin away at Arsenal (not sure if it would be same season). Lewin could have scored 2 games in a row at the emirates in the 1st minute for us, but missed a sitter as far as i can remember in a game i think we lost 2-0 (those are the 1st 2 that string to my mind - if it is or isnt those)

he'd break dixie's record as well

extra motivation to get a statue next to dixie

Reminds me of this game that I was at, 23 Feb 2020 against Arsenal. DCL scored after about 30 seconds, Aubameyang then did exactly the same at the start of the second half. This game set a record for the 2 quickest combined goals at the beginning of each half and I don't think it's been beaten ?

 

[Wat Tyler]

The difference in us playing with a half decent striker since DCL has come back.

Insane that we didn’t bring a forward in in January

Dean scored 82 goals that season for club and country in all competitions. Sniff it Haaland.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Evening soldiers.

 

[SweetAmnesia672]

the only way we can get to 36 is if we

win at least 2 of 3 games against man city, wolves, Bournemouth
win at least 1 of 3 games and draw at least 1 of 3 games against man city, wolves, Bournemouth

A win and a draw is not the likeliest outcome but it's very doable. Also as hard as that sounds for Everton, it's even tougher for Leeds and Leicester- they have to win twice against a much tougher schedule.

 

[DavidH]

The relief, oh the relief. I haven't worried once today.

 

[Runub]

I’m amazed 69% of voters still think we will go down. Have they no faith
