Relegation 2022/23

[neil999]

Our fans are without a shadow of a doubt the most fatalistic in the world. Imagine if we were in Leicester’s position and about to play Newcastle away. Would ANYONE on here, and I mean one single person, be giving us a chance of winning or staying up? Let along actually believing that we would do it?

If Leicester do indeed lose tonight focus will soon shift to the fact we have no full backs or strikers and Bournemouth beat us 7-1 on aggregate under the worst manager of all time.

I literally cannot believe the positivity on the Leicester forum,like a parallel world...they are saying 'it's in our hands we just need 2 wins,we can do it 'etc...

We literally had a different manager though.

Yeh? He's not Pep Guardiola compared to Lampard mate. It's the same wank squad full of cowards they swatted aside. Twice.

There is a glue sniffing epidemic according to their local press

It’s Leicester I’d be more worried about at home to West Ham than leeds v spurs irrespective of tonight’s score

In the whole scheme of things both would. A win would be the icing on the cake and a draw still iffy.

To be fair to them they did win a title a few years ago, so I can kind of get their positivity. Winning the title was a far far bigger achievement and much more unlikely than winning back to back games against Newcastle and West Ham.

They are right, they can win the games. The probability is that they won't win 6 points, but until something is mathematically impossible, you can't rule it out at this stage of the season. Newcastle are favourites and should win, but I'm more nervous for this than yesterday to be honest. There is usually another twist in a relegation battle.

Honestly don't think you'll need anything. We won't get another win, I'm certain of that. Leicester won't get anything tonight leaving you just needing at most a draw final game which I'm sure you'll get.
Enjoyed our fists season back up but been scandalous how badly things were f'cked up after Bielsa left. All very depressing but hopefully won't be a long absence this time.

I reckon whoever goes down will be back up quick, even us
The championship looks awful whenever I watch a game and with parachute payments on top of fees for the big players that won’t drop to championship I think all three of us including Leicester will be back quickly

…not too sure on Southampton, they don’t have much quality anywhere apart from Ward-Prowse and he feels a bit Sigurdsson, hard to fit in to a line up

I like the way you are thinking. He'd deffo be Howe's type of player.

Wouldn’t shock me if they are trying to cash in on him and they’ve come up with something so he won’t play.

The quality in the play offs was really telling. All 4 teams were extremely poor.

It will be the most Everton thing possible to just need a win/draw to stay up. And then lose.

Except it’s not is it.

Everton are the masters of avoiding relegation, literally better than anyone else in the league by a long way upto this point.

The most Everton thing possible is saving a pen to go 3-1 down to Leicester, your player who can’t hit a barn door volleying in the equaliser in the same game, smashing the form team in the league 5-1 on their own ground when we’ve not won away from home for ages and barely scored, Michael Keane hitting one in from 30 yards to come back with ten men, a kid slotting against Chelsea when he’s never done that in any prem performance, scoring in the 90+10th minute against Wolves.

Staying up by a single point after a season of having no fit strikers, no January signings, selling our best attacker, fan riots against the board.

That is ‘Everton that’ when it comes to relegation battles.

It is in thier hands, doing it is another issue. Hopefully Newcastle will be amazing tonight.

 

[Swartzy]

Bit mad that folk are convinced Leeds are far better than us and Bournemouth are far better than spurs

Leeds certainly no better then us, in fact I'd rather be playing them.
But I do think Bournemouth will still to be pitting it all out there, playing for pride, playing for the manager.

Whereas Spurs just look shot, and don't really care as a whole anymore as they're not recalling playing for anything anymore and will be having a whole new structure coming again in the summer.

Tonight is what Matters..
If Leicester get done than we have a week to plan around missing players and if anything just don't concede.

Time for Goodison too remember how to be a Fortress again.

If we lloan them @matty1878 for tonight, that`ll change things up.

I've never supported so many PL teams than I have this season.
