Relegation 2022/23

[Saint Domingo]

Both of the other teams would swap with us in a second. Having destiny in your own hands and the easiest fixture on paper.

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

Its 10 days after last game of prem

 

[Walken]

Haven't read all of this thread so maybe it's already been highlighted but only just realised that West Ham's Conference League final is not until 7th June. Hopefully this means Moyes will play a near full strength side to ensure they don't lose momentum. Clutching at straws here...

Maybe I'm being sentimental, but moyesy looked keen to do us a favour against Leeds

 

[blueblood]

You're right.

Just thought we might have more breathing space after tonight.

But imagine the scenes in here if Pope hadn’t managed to save that late Leicester chance!
Win and we’re safe. For all of the mess we’ve been in, I’ll take that.

 

[Dougie]

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

You’re right didn’t think about it like that.

 

[Blue peter]

can you play upfront mate

I’ve got shin splints at the moment …..oh and I was sh1t

 

[mikel_88]

don’t have to win? well we won’t anyway
and they’res no way leeds and leicester will slip up

Need the pressure on us to win, all of us could easily get beat is not much between us 3. We will get this team pver the line

 

[SweetAmnesia672]

Seriously— Everton is 6 points worse than last year right now and still somehow control their own destiny to assure safety.

They still have to earn it but we’re all fortunate to see them in such a position.

 

[Big Bob]

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

Their final is 10 days later

Last-minute goals against Chelsea, Spurs, and Wolves to thank for that.

 

[barneygumble]

Completely depends on who we’ve got available.

DCL seems to be out. Who comes in? Gray?

Can Mykolenko come back?

West Ham won’t be helping us this weekend unfortunately.

 

[Azza]

 

[BlueStevie35]

Anyone who thinks both will fail to win is living in cloud cuckoo land - Wham reserves will just be there for a jolly up while Spurs are just gonna be spurs.

Let's hope Richie isn't.

Leicester just played a game where they didn’t bother crossing the half way line till the 88th minute and didn’t have a shot until the 92nd, they’re also on a run of 1 win in 14

Leeds’ last 8 games have gone as follows:

1-0 v Palace, lost 5-1
Got 1 back at 2-0 down v RS, lost 6-1
Were 2-0 down at Fulham, got one back then decided not to push for an equaliser
1-0 up v Leicester, drew 1-1
2-0 down in 25 mins v Bournemouth, got one back then didn’t push on, lost 4-1
2-0 down in 27 mins to City, didn’t get one back till the 85th min when they should have been 3 or more down
1-0 up v Newcastle, shot themselves in the foot conceding 2 pens and got a lucky deflection to draw 2-2
1-0 up v West Ham and had them on the ropes, conceded before the break then lost 3-1 with a whimper

 

[Wat Tyler]

Indeed...if you play for a draw you end up beaten

Leicester just got away with it

If I'm an Everton player ( which I'm not because of I was we'd be in the title hunt after my 47 league goals plus 4 motm performances in goal) I'll be absolutely buzzing after Sunday/Mondays results.

In our hands and a chance to put to bed another dreadful season but finish it without being tarnished with relegation

To a man, go out and absolutely steam roller through Bournemouth like your lives depend on it and the 3 points will come.
