Relegation

No, Watford win is best for us IMO.

We don’t want Burnley pinching a five point lead ahead of Sunday.

That would have a psychological effect on both the team and the fans.

Come on Hornets

Oh I agree, they must win, but it does give them some hope if they do unfortunately. Hopefully Palace then batter them in their next game to squash it.

our home form will be the only thing that saves us, gotta get behind the boys and make it be a cauldron. no losing faith if we go a goal behind or its not happening. from the first to the last minute the belief in this misfit teams that has to be broken up whatever the outcome.

 

[Stevie Nicks Bootleg]

Exactly.

Aye, those famous 'last day's in 94 and 98. In 94 five or six teams could go down, virtually all playing "holiday" teams....not one them won bar us! And in 98 neither us nor Bolton could manage it, so much for our opponents being on 'the beach'

Life is a waterfall
We're one in the river then one again after the fall

Swimming through the void we hear the word
We'll lose ourselves but we'll find it all.

Interesting question. I'd go for prime Jags/Distin myself though as we wouldn't create anything for Yak.

Tim Cahill all mellinuum long.

Get everyone on the wings

Go down or scrape to stay up the lessons to be learned for club, players and fans are enormous. Peopel complain on here thata wole generation has not seen Everton win a trophy. That same generation have never really entertained the idea of relegation until now. I hope we dont go down but I also hope that this is the kick in the backside we needed!

Prime Wayne Rooney would be pretty useful as well like

 

[Stevie Nicks Bootleg]

Rooney all day long.

That Rooney that went off to the Euros and nearly won the thing single handed for England before getting injured would keep us up on his own. Unreal talent.

Riquelme.

Looking ar Rooney beat a couple of Chelsea defenders with a big angry face would be enough the crowd would do the rest.

Electrifying.

That’s why I can’t buy some of the shouts for DCL Richarlison Digne as class players.

Take a look at that Wayne Rooney and then tell me that DCL or Richarlison are anywhere near that level of footballer.

Tbf, there’s only been a handful of footballers since Rooney came on the scene who have been that level of footballer and certainly none who played for us.

We won’t see that level of talent at the club again for a very long time imo.

Agree, but I think we’ve had attacking players who have been a level above them:

Yakubu, Saha, Mirallas, Lukaku even Barkley

They all had a certain level of technique and first touch, link up play etc.

In DCL and Richarlison I just see two players who if they haven’t scored with their first touch are highly unlikely to do much with their second.

DCL is decent in a very specific role which Carlo used him in, but not class.

Richie and Digne are both a level above DCL, but Richie is certainly vary raw and while there is clear quality, its not consistent enough.

James was class. That class brought out more from Richie. But, James was also surrounded by a load of bang average players, which weren't anywhere near his level or vision.

Rooney was pure class. Didn't need others to be at his level because he had the physicality to manage it by himself.
