Relegation

They don't look good with troglodyte tactics

They haven't looked good with anyone's tactics. Ancelotti spawned a few boring 1-0s last season with our only shot on goal. Our squad is rubbish, our first 11 could finish top 10.

Ancelotti had tactics?

 

[Lob]

I don't think we will be in danger of being relegated but nothing good is going to come from the season at all other than more frustration and disappointment and a mid table finish. That is where the club is at no matter who is in charge. The root problems come from above the Manager.

 

[Nyhus]

The wheels also fell off at exactly this stage last season after Richardson got sent off … no points for a couple of games. … Carlo was no better

How were the scorelines and against who did we lose? Were we abused by the worst team in the leage? Is losing 0 -1 even comperable to losing 2 - 5?

They don’t look good with any tactics.

 

[Khalekan]

I don't think we will go down because if we get our full team out we will pick up enough points, but the season is a nothing mid table at best bottom half is realism. Also the next six look horrendous RB could very well be gone after the derby unless he changes something.

You know what the saddest thing is?

Among that list of games is Brentford.

How the heck has EFC arrived at a point where a game against Brentford….bloomin’ Brentford….is regarded as, if not exactly an “expected loss”, but a game none of us expects to win.

We’ll be bottom half in my opinion. We just can’t afford to lose players and we’ve been without Mina Docuoure Richarlison DCL for too many games. That’s the spine of the team, the best player in each position. Akin to Liverpool losing Van Dijk Fabinho Salah Mane. To add to that we’ve had lengthy absences for Godfrey, Pickford has missed games, Digne can’t stay fit, Gomes Delph Gbamin all missing games. We just don’t have the squad to cope with missing our best players.

Begovic Kenny Keane Davies Iwobi Rondon are bottom half players. I wouldn’t even class Kenny Davies or Keane as premier league standard, I don’t think a single other prem team would take any of them. Put combinations of these on the pitch together against fully fit premier league teams and what do we expect to happen?!

Just pray Benitez’s reforms of the medical team kick in soon otherwise it’s going to be a long season. If Allan or Gray go down at any point we may as well pack up.

The only crumb of comfort is that football games often pan out differently than expected and there are surprise results. However, based on recent evidence the forthcoming fixtures do look ominous

In it up to our eyeballs by December. Here we go again.

I have my issues with Benitez for sure. But i obviously hope, he can pull a few decent results out of the bag, in the run in to the derby. I fear that the club could be on the verge of imploding, if this disastrous run continues. I think if Benitez can get through the next month, then he'll be ok for the rest of the season.

 

[The Binman]

Based on the talent we have in our squad and the style of play

"Rafael would be getting more out of the current playing staff is the best players hadnt of been injured"

That's pure speculation

i'd suggest the 'talent' in our squad was pure speculation. We're rubbish.

Losing is losing

 

[PhilRegan]

The thought of our defense against a revamped kane is scarier than the thought of our team against a revamped spurs with a world class manager.

Yeah Kane has been going through the motions this season but you just know he’ll rip us to shreds.

Allan is a bottom half PL player imo.
