Relegation 2022/23

[davek]

There’s also the question of which version of Everton turns up. I’m not fully convinced the Dyche version we saw against Arsenal will be sustainable for long, or that the Lampard one won’t reappear in the coming weeks. I think we might see a mixture of both, so picking up enough points isn't guaranteed just because we beat the league leaders last week:

There's no guarantees, no.

I believe though, that we have a better all round team than a minimum of 5/6 teams in this league.

We lack only in the forward department, but I dont see those in and around us cutting it in that respect either. Forest, Wolves, West Ham, Bournemouth and Southampton all have low scoring attacks (and Leeds cant profit from their relatively better attack).

IMO 6 wins gets us near enough safe - 7 wins almost certainly does that. We have it in us to get them in 17 games under Dyche.

Leeds will out dirty us. Very difficult game. Got to get a result at Analfield or we could be goosed.

No, this is a spectacularly weird take.

Think you’ve misunderstood.

We cannot be odds against, if we are the third most likely with the bookies. There are three relegation places.

Of course we can. I'm not sure you understand betting. You can be odds against and still be favourite .

Dave, I am starting to worry, I find myself in agreement with over half your posts these days mate.

Lol Dave always rallies when we’re in the mire - don’t worry he’ll be back to be deliberately contrarian as soon as we’re safe

Disagree.

The results again this weekend mean we haven't "got to" get a result tomorrow.

We can be beaten and still get out of the relegation zone by next Saturday.

Three points from the combined games against Arsenal and Liverpool is 2 more than I dared to hope for before Dyche arrived. Leeds at Goodison will tell us a lot....and if we get something from Liverpool, it'll tell us a hell of a lot.

No, this is a spectacularly weird take.

There's a lot of people on here who just haven't spotted how rubbish the teams are below us and above us. They are never going to put a 5 point gap into us.

The last few weeks have shown that the two above us and below us cant buy a win.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

I think we’ll play well again tomorrow but I never see us getting a result there so am not expecting one.

I fully expect us to professionally dispatch Leeds at home though and fancy us for Villa at home after too.

Next 3 game points prediction:

6/7 points.

We never get points in games with some positive expectation haven't you learned how Everton works yet. I think that Arsenal win has still intoxicated some.

Yeah 4 at least I think but can see 5-7

Want City to beat Arsenal midweek too and put the pressure on as we’re at the emirates after and want them to start crumbling so we can put the pressure on them

Tomorrow could be a reality check but there’s nothing Evertonians like more than a hard working, well organised team winning matches against the big 6. We looked clueless two weeks ago and now we have a proper manager in charge there’s positivity.

There is, but I think that one win needs to be forgotten about personally, we’ve seen these players gee up for one game then revert to type. If they don’t show the same effort tomorrow after over a week then all that positivity people had looks foolish. I don’t trust this squad at all.

Leeds look better without Marsch. Worrying. Hoping a few more teams get dragged in as can see leeds staying up

 

[lesbattersby]

Last week after we beat Arsenal we were level on points with Leeds but had played 2 games more. Now they are 1 point ahead having now played a game more. It has been a good week in them terms. But I just can't trust this group of players. Everybody has gotten giddy since beating Arsenal, and I understand as it's been so long since we had seen such a performance and result. But its the same squad badly lacking in forward areas and don't suddenly see us scoring at a higher rate than what we had been. And the rate we had been scoring wasn't enough to put a winning run together.

Yet failed to win both games v United, VAR saved a 2-0 loss from being a 4-0 hiding today
