Relegation

[Death]

All it takes is one of Watford, Burnley or Norwich to start mounting a proper fight and picking up a few wins for us to be in big trouble. Even if we improve the form and get out of this free fall and pick up wins it may not even be enough if one of them start a revival thats better than ours. One of them 3 teams. Its not mad to think one out of 3 might turn it around.

P.S....I have been an Evertonian over 40 years

its hard mate,isnt it?
the last thing you think of at night and the first thing in the morning.
iv tried to separate myself from it as iv got no influence over the final outcome but it hurts when i see players like mina who cant get off the pitch quick enough!

They might, but Leeds, Brentford, Newcastle or Palace could go on a bad run. There are 8 teams who could go down.

Brentford are the one side i think if we could get our noses in front of would give me more confidence of us staying up

I have a tremendous sense of foreboding about relegation this season.

We are in a points tailspin.

We have some decent players but lack decent defenders , characters and fight.

If it happens it's all on Moshiri for his ludicrous appointment of Benitez.

Such a tough job for Lampard at this point in his managerial career.

I feel like we are 3/4 of the way through an Athletic article on the demise of Everton football club, but not sure they’ll get to finish it this season.

Not just appointing Benitez, but allowing him to continue despite the worst form and football imaginable, if he had gone a 5 or 6 games earlier the form and confidence would have been a lot easier to turn around.

I said it when it was being rumoured. But it was them people who summoned Benitez through faith.

And it was you who gleefully defended him.

And it was you who gleefully defended him.

No glee. I wanted to take a bad situation and turn it on the reds. I wanted the narrative to be 'we turned your legend blue' not 'agent Benitez'

Kicking and screaming gave them what they wanted. I wasn't giving them that.

Anybody who thinks we can not go down just consider the worst case scenario at the weekend we could be in the bottom 3.Not likely i admit but unless we start putting some points on the board the bottom 3 is only weeks away and if we drop in there I cant see us getting out.

I do agree that we are on a slide but equally just one win would change the outlook.
If we are still in this position in ten games time I think we can start to really worry but we are not gone far past the half way stage of the season at the moment and we still have 51 points to fight for.

 

[Street end man]

Lots of games left and Everton will do what Everton do. They'll go on a run where we liken them to a prime Real Madrid and wonder why they can't play like that all the time, the TV pundits will sing our praises. Talk of Europe will be mentioned........then we'll lose another 8 on the bounce and finish 16th.

That truly is my prediction for the season.

Brentford's form has actually been worse than ours lately and may get sucked in themselves soon enough.

52 years. With the exception of the mid 80s and the Cup in 95 it has been mostly misery especially when that other shower are successful.

My consolations are Shamrock Rovers and the Dublin GAA football team. At least they have given me something to smile about in recent years.
