Relegation 2022/23

[Goodisongang]

1 win from the next two will deffo be enough


1 win means both leicester and Leeds next to win both their games to overtake us, ( unless Leeds get 4 points and their GD improves more than ours )

I can't see that.

Forrest could easily lose their last two as well which makes their point at Chelsea more infuriating because of they lost 1 point would have seen us overtake them if they lost both their last two.

Playing first is better for us as well, go into our game out the bottom and knowing a win almost certainly secures it, them players won't want to go into the last game under that much pressure if we lose

no it’s the biggest since 1994/1997

That was one long season.

I won't even believe we are safe if we win against wolves and the other 2 lose.

I won't believe it until I see next year's fixtures

True. The FFP ruling might have gone against us before they come out...

I mean, FFS, how do you get a pair of boots on and go and play for that nobhead?

Their fans have turned on him and the players now. You wonder how far their motivation goes when both parties (players and manager) know they all probably won’t be there next season. The fans have deserted them in a way the Everton fans have never deserted the team since Dyche came in. People in the media can say whatever they want about toxic Everton fans and the atmosphere at Goodison being difficult for players yada yada. I’ve seen nothing from Leicester Leeds or Southampton fans this season that has even come close to what we saw from Everton fans last season, and when push comes to shove they’ve all been booing their teams off home and away for weeks now. Everton fans have stayed behind Dyche and the team when it’s mattered.

Out of the 3 teams there’s one team more aligned from top to bottom and with more recent momentum and basis for a decent performance and that’s Everton.

Warning. It might include Luton Town

Have you seen

I think Leeds will get something at West Ham. Wolves won’t be easy, just don’t lose. I think Goodison will overwhelm Bournemouth if it goes the last day

Still baffled by the Leeds thing. Its not 1976. Patrick Bamford has a massive sign on his said saying "Help Me" and the South Americans that Bielsa brought in are just bewildered by the whole situation. In Brazil (and Argentina?).you have to be terrible two years on the trot to actually get relegated. It's unheard of. I think Leeds are a great club and I lived there a long time but if its Everton or Leeds then off they go and it serves them right for sacking Bielsa

We look ill at ease at Goodison, released away from home.

Last 6 games away - 5 we get points from; last 6 at home - 4 defeats.

Although I do think we will save ourselves in these last two games, and that GP will overwhelm Bournemouth if and when the chips are really down, the Leicester and Brighton games were the obvious blueprint for a vital three points. Just got to hope it is our A team playing its A game and that the chances go in. It is always about taking your chances in these last couple of games.

Haha I hate, I mean I hate, marginally offside goals.
I absolutely love when we win by a marginally onside goal. I love it. I do a marginally onside dance.

They'll just take their 50k and watch him handed his P45. Like some players of ours have in the past with equally useless managers lol

Yep. Even at 3-0 down against City the fansd were still singing.

Our problem is not the link between fans and players, it's been the broken link between hierarchy and fans.

If we survive this season it will be an incredible achievenment by the fans, manager and players to have stowed that away and refocussed.

 

[Street end man]

If we beat Wolves and Bournemouth surely nobody on here will say we're going down.......even @matty1878 wouldn't do that lol

Nah we'll be fine. Our owner is a total crook with decades of law bending under his belt. He'll Teflon it off to the next owner

 

[PKwalnuts]

Right ok.
Apologies for calling out blues, wanting best for Everton, even to the point of LFC winning.
You're braver than me.
I had a mare. Everton do things to you. I am an unstable mess, again.
Thank God we came out of this weekend not in the bottom 3. Give anything for it to stay that way, I accept that now.
Anything can still happen, but now that game is over, and Leicester lost (framing it differently now) I have a bit more inner peace than most of today.

Awful what this club does to you.

@Moomin sorry blue.

 

[Bez2k2k]

We need a massive Brighton style performance against Wolves. The first goal is vital for us, as in any premier league game. We need to start quick and have a good bloody go at them!

It wasn’t a case of Liverpool winning in my opinion, they were always going to win that game anyway. It was a case of hoping Leicester don’t win. Defies any logical but I still don’t think i wanted Liverpool to win, just not Leicester.
