1 win in 12 matches tells a different story.

Yeah, I’d like to see how we do in these next few games under Dyche though, we were in a bit of a tailspin with Lampard towards the end. One great game and one bad game so far with Dyche but we’ve played two good teams (Liverpool at home (top 4 form) are a different prospect than away (bottom 6) at the moment).

The fact we've performed so abysmally tonight is the thing that worries me the most. You think this group of players will dig deep and find the levels required on Saturday? You've got more faith in me. I always thought we needed something tonight to keep the good mood.

Yes I do. Because Leeds are terrible also. We beat Arsenal last week.We are goin to lose games between now and the end of the season. Its how we respond.

Home games gonna be vital.

Got to take a gamble on a couple of frees, simms is not much use

All this crap about tonight was expected, yet Leeds went there and won. The same Leeds that a lot of people are confident we'll turnover on Saturday.

It is indeed. There needs to be a huge response on Saturday because if there isn't tonight could well have set the tone for the rest of the season.

Big picture we got 3 points from Arsenal and at Anfield

Cannot expect any more than that

Leeds is essentially a must win

Every game is must win until we either run out of points to stay up or we get enough to stay up

In theory yes. But some games have a different risk/reward component to them

For example, it's going to be vital Gray is 100% for Leeds, especially if DCL is out. I think he's been giving him a breather in two games we'd likely lose and just jammed up the midfield hoping for what we did against Arsenal

As much of a cop out as it is, other teams going to Anfield is a normal away trip and a good chance to have a free shot at a big club.

For Everton, it's going into the slaughterhouse where we expect to get rinsed. We're just mentally weak as a club.

I said before tonight after the Arsenal game everybody was going on like we would get out of trouble no problem. But we are the same team that has the worst attacking players in the league and didn't see how we were just going to start scoring the goals to keep us up. To add to it the style of play Dyche sets us up for isn't conductive to scoring goals either.

Carlito · February 13, 2023

Even if Calvert-Lewin stayed fit, I don't think there'd be enough quality or goal threat.

This is the worst crop of players since Kendall III.

Everton is always Liverpools Cup Final though

The same Leeds who have also won 1 game in there last 18 is it?

We are where we are. Everyone knows the issues.

It’s a bitter pill to swallow again - but the only way Everton get out of this is if the fans pull them through again.

Then in the summer there needs to be wholesale changes and protests even if we survive.

No pitch invasions for staying up and the manager bouncing up on the roof of stands, there needs to be a realization that this club has gone to the dogs with this owner and board.

Too many dreadful decisions to list - with the final nail being not adding any Attacking players to the lowest scoring team in the prem who are in the bottom 3.
