Relegation 2022/23

[GoldenToffee]

I honestly don’t see Forest getting another point.

Arsenal will be up for it and Palace can beat any team at their place and are bang on form.

Yep. I see Forest as most likely to join Leicester, but of course one freak result could change it up for any three of the teams still fighting to stay out of the bottom three. There's really no excuse for Everton not to get a minimum three points, and let's be honest if we cannot do that we fully, fully deserve relegation. We're playing two teams with nothing left to play for - you couldn't pick two better fixtures.

lads can we write of leicester now?

 

[Gilbert..]

Bit of a difference taking over that Everton team and this Leeds team.

Prob is due to the lack of games. Im not writing anything off until its done and dusted.

I'm delighted, but rodgers needs to take ownership of his stewardship of a relegation season. Like lampard if we go down, a lot of this is on him and the cowardly squad he trained and assembled

Leicester's board offered him no cash last summer. I think that was the reason Rodgers couldn't get them going.

His record at Leicrster has been fanatastic tbf.

 

[Bilko]

Yeah it has been spectacular and probably done us a really big favour. We might still go down but i think we would have definitely gone down without Leicester's fall.

I was in a leicester forum this AM, there isn't a hopeful post anywhere. The fans are picking new managers for the championship, posting how early they left last night. It seems there is no fight,hope ,defiance left within the fan base even.
At least we have the fans which is worth the 12th man, especially the away matches.
I'm optimistic, not convinced, we will have enough.

it’s everton mate we don’t ever do it the easy way

Quite right. We are marginally favourites to stay up, but it's all on a knife's edge still.

Ano mucker. Fully expecting us to be completely unsure as to what league we'll be playing in with 15 minutes of the Bournemouth game left to go. Please Lord no.

He completely bottled two golden opportunities to get 4th and really change the club, his bottling is why there was no money.

He has put together a culture at that club that mirrors his own. All ego, selfishness and no real substance. Said it games ago that there is not one bit of fight in that squad and that is a reflection of rodgers who couldn't wait to scurry out the door to avoid a relegation on his CV.

Harsh.

FA Cup win, 5th place finishes.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Selling Schmeical was one of the worst transfers in their history.

Not like it even worked out for Schmeichel either. One of the worst decisions of all time

The point is dave forget how the season has gone. A desperate team is a dangerous animal. They go into games with a different approach now. Leicester players look like they know they are dead. Leeds dont.

Think he ran his course too to add to that - he's always been a 2-3 season manager at most anywhere before it goes sour.

 

[davek]

West Ham v Leeds looks like the key game of the season to me.

On paper they look like having a great chance at a win Leeds.

They're hopeless though, and I think any expectation like that on a team that's conceded 71 goals will be toxic for them on the day.

Imagine it was us: supposed to win at West Ham regardless of how long West Ham had to prepare for it. We'd know we wouldn't get the job done...and Leeds are worse than us.

IMO a draw for us against Wolves and one more against B'mouth will get the job done.

Problem with modern football.

For Youri Tielemans, when he gets a move to a European club in the summer on a free transfer, do you think he’ll be arsed about whether Leicester went down? Of course not.

Same applies to half their out of contract players and probably the same for ours.

They actually made money on signings, and signed no one, we spurned £500m on absolutely trash. Both equally poor sides, the only thing keeping us alive is that we’re showing a bit of fight.
