Relegation 2022/23

[Runub]

Ok. Know what is required now. To be fair we have been gifted so many opportunities to get out of this mess and not taken them. Get it done or don’t deserve to play at this level. Simple

Keep reading Smith Masterclass, Newcastle hit the woodwork 3 times, there was 2 off the line and 2 ridiculous sitters

Smith has massively gambled by hoping they could hold on, that they can beat West Ham and that we don’t beat Bournemouth. I thought they’d have more of a go just to try and put their safety in their own hands.

 

[pedro789]

Same as West ham and spurs ?

You're right.

Just thought we might have more breathing space after tonight.

 

[Moggers]

I guess needing to win then we have to start the game on the front foot.

Needing a draw I had a feeling Dyche would have us sitting deep from the off and letting Bournemouth have the ball and that would never have ended well. We need a noisy, up for it Goodison and a high tempo game plan.

Yeah my thoughts as well. Lot more clarity now with as you say, a vociferous Goodison behind us with a clear task ahead of us.

As much as I would like to think that we would be professional going for a win regardless, its on a subconscious level that I worry we would play it safe if only a draw required, recipe for disaster in the last ten that.

We are above Leicester (1 win in 15) and Leeds (0 win in 8)..with a game to go.

A home game against 15th in the table. We are very fortunate to be in this position given how the season has gone.

... then conceding a goal to one of those free kicks where Pickford offers 3/4 of the goal to aim at and the taker duly obliges, nestling it into the top corner, in the 93rd minute.

Yeah someone really needs to get Pickford to sort that crap out. It’s like Sunday league level stuff.

We are in the driving seat as far as our position is concerned - that is a fact

And no tears from these failures if they let us down.

can you play upfront mate

 

[John BCN]

I think Leicester will. West Ham will play the stiffs as it is only a few days before their cup final.

West Ham's final is not until 7th June

Only just clocked this thread was started in July 22. FFS

Good, because the Premier League is literally Sunday League football this weekend.

Absolutely spot on.

Fortunate? No just abysmal
