Relegation 2022/23

[knowing your history]

If you look at the fixture list we have the best set of fixtures of any club in the battle leading up to April. We only play 3 games against sides in the top 10 whereas the rest are playing 4-8 games against teams in the top 10. Palace have the worst run with 8 games against top 10 sides until April. This to me is a sign if anyone needs it in the club that a manager change is absolutely needed. We have winnable games and I think if you win c. 4 of those you put yourselves in a good place to survive.

Really? I'm sure it's away games coming up v RS, Man. United, Chelsea etc? Arsenal away could easily be dropped in aswell so could be playing them twice within a month.

The club behind the scenes and the fans need to be preparing for the championship now. Putting what’s required into place and a plan and strategy to survive this eventuality and bounce straight back. Obviously with this board and ownership there’ll be no plan for this and they will still be of the thinking that we’ll be fine.

I have been thinking along these lines myself. I don't know how people still cling to the notion that we can somehow save ourselves without any sign of a spark from the players or manager. I don't see who we can attract to inject some creativity and discipline into this team in the short time left. We need to be thinking about clearing the decks and building for next season.

What about Maupay McNeil and Dele all in place of Richie

We ARE MUCH STRONGER

Oh mate, you do realise we are in the same position as we were when Richie was here?!
We are in free fall, we will not know how this team plays until frank is gone.
Absolute fact though, we are a better squad this year than last

No good if you don't replace Richarlison AT ALL.

That's a wide forward usually hitting double figures in a league season.

In a pretty low scoring team you see the difference with likes of Gray and McNeill on 1-2 at halfway mark.

Absolutely. People are forgetting we were in a similar position when Richie was here though

Fact
You seem not to understand that it’s the manager not getting the best out of the squad that’s the issue

Fact

Ok mate,

Can’t wait to see Gray McNeil Maupay and Gordon keep us up

Get a proper manager will help

Not one of our players is at their peak at the moment, that is clear for all to see

You need to get over Richie, he’s gone

Same we are done unless a new manager comes in and we sign multiple attackers to give us a chance. All in like a week or so. It’s not happening.

I don't see the evidence to back this up. We are being trounced by all-comers. I agree that Lampard isn't getting the best out of them but I just don't think the players are premiership standard.

You cannot judge a team under a bad manager. Hence why teams rise up the table when new managers come in
We won’t see the best if these players under franks, that’s the way it is. Now, I’m not saying they’d win the league under pep, but they’d not be joint bottom that’s for certain

Some (many) people fail to grasp this

I get what you are saying and do agree but you need a very good tactician to get this squad even just climbing a few places in the league imo. That person is not Dyche nor is it Moyes imo but I reckon that is who will be on our radar, we don't have the scope nor brains to look further afield sadly.

Where did I mention Richie mate???

Oh these players are playing to their full ability, because they’re rubbish. Here are some very basic, combined stats for our main attacking threat in Iwobi, McNeil, Gray and Maupay

Over the course of their PL career, combined, they have:
42455 minutes
70 goals
68 assits
Making a total contribution of 138
They make a mark on a game every307 minutes

Their combined for Everton this season is:
4816 minutes
7 goals
8 assists
Making a total contribution of 15
They make a mark on a game every 321 minutes

They are literally playing how they always have done

Erm….
“What about Maupay McNeil and Dele all in place of Richie” -Your post

Oh my, did you really just tally up all their stats?
Lol
Fair play

Yeh, I think dyche would make us much harder to beat and we’d concede far less which is a start.

We need two/three forwards to really change things up though, as we all know
