We should be nowhere near points deductions, and I expect we won't. But I fear being made a scapegoat.

that can’t do a points deduction probably a hefty fine - we will have to play on klarna

We surely can't accept anything less than 6 points from Luton and B'mouth.

By the international break we have to be on 10 points.

Mad how close this Sheff U side came to beating us. This manager Heckingbottom will be first sacked

FFS is there another one of them coming up!

Rather watch Everton get beat than watch international footy.

Didn’t the government come out the other day and say they don’t want to punish clubs with points deductions or something

Governments lie all the time mate.

Liverpool after that. Hopefully some of their forwards are injured and out for the season after it.

Games with fine margins. In that game all it needed was danjuma to look up and we would have been 2 up in the first 20 mins. Big chances like that affect the overall game, as we don’t control the game with possession we can be punished. Prime example being the wolves and Fulham games.

It'll be corrupt PL who makes the decision on Everton though.

It was proposed, I thought.

 

[RomanReigns]

I think the premier league would be very stupid to penalise any club with a points deduction and they should tread very carefully

While it's obviously preferable to get those wins on the bounce, I wouldn't say we have to be on 10 points in terms of any relegation battle. Although I can see why you might say that seeing we've wasted 2 of the better fixtures at home and these are also in that category.

We need to beat Luton for a few reasons - firstly we need a win at home in front of our fans to settle Goodison and get a bit more of a feel good factor going there, secondly I don't think we've beaten a promoted side in years and it doesn't come easier than this. We could get away with a draw against Bournemouth if for some reason we have a bad day at the office and we have an early red card or dodgy decision that prevents us from winning.

I can see the bottom 2 having points tallies in the teens come the end. As long as we are consistently staying 4+ points ahead of the bottom 4 we shouldn't get into panicking over 'must win' games. We need to start enjoying football again to progress.

Yes, this is the new regulatory body which is only proposed.

Our current legal woes won’t get anywhere near whatever that ends up being.

If we beat Luton we'll roll B'mouth over easily enough.

We just need this Goodison monkey off our backs.

They'll turn up and sit on the edge of the box and look to scab a goal. We need our fans to be patient.

Luton remains a must win. Could see a historic event like the home team actually scoring 2-3 goals at Goodison. One to tell the grandkids.

Bournemouth is the tricky one. Luckily they couldn't be bothered on the final day but they have taken the lead at Liverpool and Brighton this season even if they lost both so that's one where need to be on it from kick off otherwise it could become as frustrating as Fulham and Wolves.
