You missed arsenal away. Not that it matters
If we do the above, we will mathematically be safe in the Arsenal game

Tbf you don't act your age !!
And I need Angelina Jolie to write back to my marriage proposal on Twitter.
Yeah Tim mate neither can I but you have to be realistic.
If Everton, with their financial issues, need to buy 15 new players this summer to gel right away to then be able to get the points needed to get us up, then we're on a hiding to nothing already.
So by 'core' I mean just keeping the bunch of players that we don't absolutely need to sell, and can offer something. The rest obviously would have to go. But this ain't footy manager or FIFA.
try and keep it in perspective mate, if we go down the club will still exist, we will all still exist and life will carry on. At some point in future we will come back up whether straight away or in a few years. At some point in future the current custodians of the club will be out whether in the PL or the Championship.i’m not sleeping atall never wanted anything in my life just for everton to stay up

They didn't think they could do it after Norwich away. They looked more gone than we do now. And they must have feared the worse when Dyche left.
I still think they're brittle and if Watford beat them they'll dip in form.
We are on the same page with the players to keep. Apart from Davies!By that I mean so it's not that we need to buy 15 players and only need to buy, say, 7-8
Rich, Dom, Mina, Allan - they're out of the door straight away for various reasons.
You can probably keep Doucoure (he'd be miles better than anything else in that league lets be honest, in that role at least), and Iwobi (though if we could move him on then maybe for the best), same with Gray, Gordon.
Pickford's a weird one. We'd need his wages off the books obviously but there just isn't a market for him. It's mad as he's clearly England's best GK but what team buys him? None in the big 6 do, Villa, West Ham don't need a GK, he's never going to go to Newcastle. Southampton probably wouldn't break their wage structure to sign him and I don't see him going abroad. Maybe would end up being a loan to bloody Fulham or something under Silva ffs.
Anyway, regardless of that, there has to be a balance struck. You can't expect a squad of 15 new players to gel in what is a very short pre-season (if we go down we'll start our new season July 30th/31st), while there's been so much upheaval, and hit the ground running in that league.
So get rid of what we can but be realistic on the numbers.
A core of Doucoure, Iwobi, Gray, Gordon, Godfrey, the FBs, and ffs maybe even Keane because who takes him (but sell him if poss), is a decent enough start to build from there, with Townsend, Davies to come back from injury. It'll still require a lot of work but if you completely rip everything to shreds over one window it's not going to help in that league. Has to be done sensibly.

But we're staying up anyway mate. We'll be unbeaten for the next 6 games.
Take it easy mate it's simply not worth running yourself into the ground over this

Burnley picking up just 3 more points from their run of games? Absolutely no chance.
