Relegation

[Goat]

Which we wasted - because we weren't good enough on the night.

I don't understand how people don't get this. A team who were in the bottom 3 in May lacking quality?? Well I never....

That short corner, when the pressure was on, that ended up back at Pickford.

Thats our season in a 30 second spell.

Lets acknowledge - The unlikely nightmare Sunday scenario is both Burnley and Leeds pick up points earlier in the day and we need a win against Brentford to pull us out of the bottom 3 again. Lets hope it doesn't come to that.

Burnley are 8s at Spurs if anybody wants to "cushion" the blow.

There's absolutely no way either of those two chump clubs get maximum points on Sunday.

I'm pretty sure we'll have chance when we take to the pitch at 4.30 Sunday to better what Leeds have done earlier and end this nightmare.

I'm thinking Leeds get beat and we'll need a point - and we'll get all 3.

The self belief we have will be too much for Watford to handle. Our players know that before we get back to Goodison they can have this wrapped up.

STOP

If Spurs get even a draw tonight they'll utterly ruin Burnley in the hope that Arsenal slip up against Newcastle and Everton.

I know after years of being Evertoned, we're naturally pessimistic.....But perhaps we could change the thread title to survival. Baby steps and all that.

If Leeds and Burnley both won, we’d need one point against Brentford to get out of the bottom 3 on goal difference. Hopefully we end up in a better state than that.

Brighton are one of the best teams in the PL right now. 3rd in a table of form over the last 6 games.

As we saw last night, form is something you can ignore in this most Premier of Leagues.

In terms of Everton/Watford?

I think it's obvious Lampard set up to keep it tight and not lose...which I completely endorse.

That point means we can get safe at home on Sunday.

 

[sbbefc]

I don't think we've been involved in many twists and turns at all... despite the terrible form since October, we only fell into the bottom 3 the day of the RS loss, then got out of it as soon as we could, by winning our next 2 games.

I'd disagree. There's been plenty. Losing to Burnley and their resurgence. Leeds getting dragged back in. We were 5 adrift and now we're ahead. It could flip again.

City there just scoring 5 times the amount of goals as us.

City there just scoring 5 times the amount of goals as us.

...and only 4 conceded in the last 6 games.

I think the penny dropped with Lampard after the Burnley game that getting airtight at the back was the way forward. He even brought that mentality into a fixture last night we could win 8/10...but why change the overall strategy?

 

[MrGrumpy]

it is but i think myself leeds win it’s difficult to get 4 points which is what we need

Burnley are in it as well, they have Spurs and Villa away, so both Leeds and Burnley need to win which is highly unlikely, it’s almost like ur wishing for it
