Relegation

[Frenk]

When Frank came in we needed that new manager bounce OR a settled way of playing.

Never got that bounce and he flipped flopped every game on tactics and cost us points, as I have said losing that game at Burnley was far too damaging now they are disappearing.

Howe went in, picked 4-3-3 and although it didnt click immediately they massively benefitted from having a settled system. What did Frank do? A different formation for every game, no consistency, no idea and now we are relegated.

FYI, Leeds last 6 games 11 points, Burnley last 6 games 10 points, Everton last 6 7 points. IN FACT the last 11 games since Frank has been in charge he has only managed 10 points. So why do some think we are suddenly getting 12 points +. Get a grip on reality lads, we are done, we are the next Sunderland, Sheff Wed, Wigan. We arent coming back any time soon.......

The only bounce you would get from this lot is if they dropped down dead.

Feel like I've been punched in the stomach

Leeds and Burnley are both getting results that we just aren't. Even if we somehow manage to pick up, I can still see it going to the final day and Arsenal away is up there with the one of the worst fixtures we could wish for.

unless arsenal are 4th and arteta is into bungs

 

[Zatara]

10 minutes ago you said 3 wins would be enough.

Make your mind up fella

Yes, 3 wins.

You dont get 5pts from 2 wins.

 

[daza_1973]

Well done to those 'blues' who wanted benitez, you've destroyed your club

That's on Mosh, can't remember too many blues actually wanting him to be fair.

 

[ForestBlue]

See all these permatations but just dont see how we actually improve enough, or fight hard enough, to get enough points to survive.

and what hope leeds lose 6?

Leeds need to lose three

They have Arsenal, City and Chelsea to come, plus Brighton and Brentford

They could lose three of those games I reckon

I'd actually love it if Potterball kept us up with them doing us a favour

 

[Jebus_lives]

and what hope leeds lose 6?

They wouldn't have to lose 6 for us to stay up

 

[riddick]

How the absolute F do Bunrley win 4 matches all season then go on a crazy run? Just disgusted with this team. We should never be anywhere near this position these days and, yet, here we are.

 

[ToffeeTim]

It wont be.

We'll need 5/6pts from Chelsea/Leicester/Watford.

Then the same again from Brentford, Palace, Arsenal.

It wont be just on tomorrow. A draw tomorrow and Leicester with a win at Watford would be 'ok'.

Then all on the last 3.

Sorry this is just wrong. Theres no way we can not win either of the next 2 and stay up.

 

[gazzaa2]

We'll be okay still if we win our home games and win at a relegated Watford.

Goodison will keep us up.

it’s us tho god i feel sick

 

[Ring master]

Win the three home games, draw the three aways and we've got a slim chance of staying up

Over to you Mr. Lampard

If only it was that easy when its Everton concerned, people are now saying stuff like its a given that it will happen because we are in an even worst place

 

[GeordieJohn]

It’s in our hands, win we stay up, lose we go down. It’s not likely but at least our useless bunch have it clearly laid out before them.

I have said relegation will destroy the club, I don’t think it will, I mean a look at Leeds, Aston Villa, & Newcastle shows it won’t.

It won't destroy Everton and you aint down yet, although today was not a good day (nor for me I lost a fiver to an RS "mate")

The issue Everton do obviously have is the finances and what kind of team you will actually have if you find yourselves in the Championship. Newcastle were kinda "fortunate" that Ashley had short arms and deep pockets! On both occasions we went down under his watch were able to at least keep a squad that was too strong for the Championship. Our wage bill was huge for the division but it wasn't actually unmanageable for us as a club as we had under invested for years and most of our squad weren't on top wages by PL standards. Hearing that Everton have numerous players on +100k p/w I guess that same won't be true for you, so then it becomes a rebuilding exercise which takes time and I aint sure FL is the man for that job.

Basically Evertons circumstances are very different to Newcastles and to an extent Villa's. Leeds is a better approximation and look how long it took them.

But as I said, you aint down yet. You can stay up but your lads really need to get their act together - starting tomorrow.

 

[BlueShark]

We're gone I'm afraid but I made my peace with it a while ago.

I won't miss the corruption of the Premier League. I just hope our club doesn't plummet through the divisions as some have done before us.

I can't even be angry any more. To be angry you need some sort of emotional attachment, and mine with Everton has been drained over the last few seasons.

It's just sadness I feel more than anything.
