Relegation 2022/23

[pedro789]

Any of us would've taken beating Bournemouth to stay up.

I thought we'd be done by now tbh.

But I do think tonight is a dangerous result for us, sans striker/full backs.

 

[Drico]

I wouldn't be surprised if we're in and out of the 'as it stands' bottom three on Sunday. You just know there's going to be an 'Agueroooooooo!' moment

"Mauuuuuppppaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!! Own goal!"

 

[catcherintherye]

Someone may need to tell Leicester they need to have more than 1 shot to win a game.

1 win in 15 for them. West ham will not lose to them. Theyve blown it.

 

[blue to the bone]

It’s a terrible result because we have no striker and we have to win our last game.

So do Leicester. And Leeds

 

[SJB]

I've studied the history books and Bournemouth have never beat a Sean Dyche Everton side at Goodison on a Sunday in May. The stats are on our side.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

A draw is no longer enough for Leeds or Leicester, they would be mad to defend for 80 minutes again and try and nick it. If either of them open up, the likes of Son/Bowen might rip them apart, their defences are atrocious unless they defend with 10 players.

We are however in massive trouble if either of them score first, then they can retreat again and just defend for their lives against teams that probably don’t give a toss.

 

[Lee Smith]

Can’t get my head around some people on here saying tonight was a “disastrous” result for us. It’s not ideal but it could have been much much worse.

The odds on the exchanges for us to be relegated have actually lengthened slightly since before that Newcastle game. We were 3/1 before KO, we’re now 16/5.

 

[Daytripper]

We were also 19th just a few weeks ago mate.

Perspective is needed.

Forest away big opportunity missed
Fulham at home again big opportunity missed

I’d argue Palace away to an extent

It is what it is I guess. The fans can’t do anymore than what they are doing , up to the players now

 

[Evertonthat]

Second season in a row we've had to rely on there being 3 worse teams than us to stay in this league.

Now it's in our hands, there really is no excuse not to win a home game vs a bottom half team with nothing to play for.

Anything short of a win on Sunday (regardless of other results) should be seen as a massive failure. Just go and win ffs.

 

[jamieni]

I see everyone's heads have fallen off at the prospect of beating Bournemouth at home but are completely confident Leeds and Leicester are turning over Spurs and West Ham

Really wouldn’t surprise me if we all lost on Sunday lol

 

[TyphooToffee]

We could all lose and we would stay up mate. So technically we don’t have to win.

True. We're the only one of the three that doesn't definitely have to win to stay up. It'll certainly help if we do, mind

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

3/1 to go down. That might be the holiday/bunker fund

 

[Davideeyore]

It doesn't bare thinking about but unless we can sweep Bournemouth aside a bit like we did v Brighton, then Sunday is going to be one horrible afternoon nerves will be shot to pieces, taking immodium like they're drugs and that's just an hour before kick off when the team is announced.

 

[deipnosophist]

All 3 teams drawing on Sunday, works as well...or even just two of 'em

 

[matty1878]

i dunno what the team will be or the game plan it’s so so worrying the crowd will be so edgy

we seem to be crap in must win situations so i have bob hope we will do it
