Never known such a bed wetting fan base it’s bizarre. “We’ve gone” “we’re not getting out of it this time” ffs give your heads a wobble. We’ve made a cr@p start yes, but were very unlucky in the two home games where we should have won both.

We have quality to come back in to the side from injury, and have a striker at the very least incoming. Beto, McNeil, Harrison, DCL and Iwobi makes a huge difference. I don’t see any of this quality in any of the three promoted sides. Has anyone looked at Burnley’s starting 11 today? They don’t have genuine Premier League quality and neither do the other two promoted sides.

It’ll probably take the fewest points on record to survive this year, finishing 17th or above really isn’t going to be difficult. We’ll manage it very comfortably so stop running around as if your hairs on fire and calm down.
 
So here we are after three games rock, bottom three points adrift of the team seven places above us with 35 games to play. Incoming players, those we've already got and a new striker that by general consensus will improve us immeasurably.
Win next week, go into international break regroup and all will be well.
Can't believe I've written this, but trying to stay upbeat.

I like this kind of positivity. Think I'll get smashed now.
 

We have played well, could easily have won those games 2/3 to nil. I understand it’s frustrating but you’d be overly pessimistic if you thought we played badly.

This stat further reinforces my optimism.

We will be ok.


That just means we are not finishing the way we should do. If done properly, given that chances we have had, no goalie should be saving them. We are just very very poor in front of goal, and have been for two years. Yes we need a striker, that is the most pressing needs but we also need a better contribution of goals from around the team.

I wish we'd manage it comfortably a bit earlier this season instead of leaving it to the last games.
 
Lets be honest, Wolves and Fulham were extremely lucky to beat us and could definitely be down there as well.
It’s not really luck, if they put the ball in the back of the net and we don’t. We can have all the chances and Xg in the world, goals win you games and points. It sounds harsh but it’s quite black and white. We have no one in the team outside of DCL and Mcneil who knows not to score goals and they are both injured.
 
I used to think we were the sensible ones in English football. The ones with our heads screwed on.

Three games. It has just been three games.

Have faith and get behind the team. None of this booing crap. Goodison should always be a pit, none of this waiting till the end of the season to build an atmosphere.

There was a huge amount of luck involved for both sides that beat us at Goodison

I don't agree with this luck argument. I think it's really clutching at straws.

If we have the same personnel playing regularly throughout the season we will continue to struggle and will miss clear chances, because the players are not good enough.

This is not a hard luck issue. This is a quality and ability issue. We need better players, because you can't rely on luck over a season.

You need luck to win games in which you have been second best, thats not to say its all luck but you definitely need it. To suggest otherwise is just silly.
