Relegation 2022/23

[Stevie Nicks Bootleg]

When we go down, I’m going to pretend that there is no such thing as Everton Football Club.

Then if, at some point in the future they get back in the Prem, it’ll be as though they appeared out of the void in to existence as a Prem club and I’ll be back giving them my wholehearted support when I check the score on the BBC website when I remember they’re pl

No, you're not allowed back, you can keep on supporting the shiny, new premier League club you adopt.

Is half a season left surely due to play every team one more time not sure everton fixture list is any tougher than rest of teams in relegation zobe don't get this logic doomed based on fixture list

Is this just a load of words randomly mashed together?

 

[leslad]

We need to win 8 out of the remaining 20 games to win as many as we did last season

We are down, and no mistake

There are no teams at the bottom of the table who you can see as nailed on relegation candidates...except at the moment, us.

Thing is, all the other teams have been getting better overall for quite some time, where as we've stayed at the same level, the same standard of 'Evertonian mediocrity'. Once that mediocrity would have seen Everton as best of the rest, inevitability its now become relegation.
For me the biggest harbinger was the Rooney transfer (any chairman worth his salt would have made that a Bale type transfer) And instead of thinking we need two now, and another, and another, we going to win a title with Rooney, with them, the chairman/board just bent over for their Premier League Lords. Stones, Lukaku, Richarlison...never a chance of bringing in more to build on them, stick to Evertonian mediocrity and squander the cash - its long been decided Everton was never going to win another PL title by the bunch of morons running this club
Do we at least say when Everton gets relegated, 'well at least it's the end of mediocrity ', like f we do.

Its frightening to look at our fixture list for the rest of the season. Looking at it, I counted 6 games as "expected losses." Arsenal home and away, Man United away, City home, Chelsea away and sh*te away.
Spurs at home I did not include with these.

If we target 38 points, that would leave us with 14 games to aquire 23 more points. W7 D2 L5 or W6 D5 L3

Of course aware we can sneak a point or 3 in the "expected losses" matches, but still a considerable upturn in results is required for us to avoid relegation.

Even a win against Soton will have us below 1 point a game with Arsenal and sh*te coming up. We are in real trouble.

If you only count 6 expected losses in our remaining matches what have you been watching so far this season?

We stayed up with points to spare, and this season it's looking like a lower total.

It's also worth saying we are drawing about 1/3 of our games. So that's another 7 points in all likelihood.

I wouldnt want to push it, but we would probably be safe with another 3 wins. 5 would be more that sufficient IMO.

I get what you're saying, in our remaining games W3 D7 L10, which would be roughly representative of our results so far, W3 D6 L9.

Just feel like with Patterson and iwobi injured, maupay now well past any new signing bounce he may have brought, Gordon woefully out of form, and Gana looking (to me) not being the player he once was, I just can't see anything but it getting worse, especially as clubs around us move quickly to buy players.

It's hard to predict. The above would be touch and gqo re relegation. We likely need at least 4 wins.

Iwobi will miss 2 games. Gordon is probably due to come back into form, and Gray is playing better. If we keep DCL fit, that will be a huge help. You could take the view Maupay can probably only get better too like.

Other sides are signing players, but honestly they are signing rubbish for the most part, as that's what's available. We will likely sign some rubbish too. Like we did last Jan.

we are one of 7 or 8 awful teams, and 3 will go down. They are the odds.

 

[Del-boy]

We’re gone. Make no mistake. Writing was on the wall from the Bournmouth game. I have now found myself to watching the EFL show on ITV4 instead of Match of the Day.

 

[mahermi1]

Where are Forest for ffp, surely close

 

[The Blue Orca]

Do we even have the money to bring players in? I just can’t believe we spent £30+ million on Onana without replacing Richarlison.

 

[Rook]

I still have faith that there are at least 3 clubs that are going to out terrible us.

Good for you. I really hope you’re right, I just don’t see it right now, especially with no immediate hope of any reinforcements

 

[The Littlest Yobo]

It’s literally in the lap of the Gods whether we stay up or not. Not worth forensically dissecting potential points per game from remaining fixtures. The board, the manager and the players are all collectively poor with terrible track records. Nothing that they do will combine to drag us away from this mess. We are relying on pure chance that at the end of the season there are 3 worse teams than us. That’s it. No “strategic plan” from our far sighted board of laser focused executives, no naive tactical tinkering by a manager in absolute free fall but amazingly still in his job and no match winning input from the product of the last time we gave this manager money such as Maupay or McNeill will save us. It’s down to Lady Luck, pure and simple.
