Relegation

[Saint Domingo]

...they cant be arsed playing at Goodison either. But home form (IF the crowd inspire) will just see us out of this.

I’m relying more on Norwich Burnley Watford being so bad rather than relying on our players to do anything. Rancid bunch of cowards. You know if we went down as well every single one of them would be on the blower to their agent within a few minutes of the final whistle. Horrible bunch of mercenary leeches.

 

[Toffeelover]

Staring us in the face, even Burnley hammered Brighton , more than we could.

Relegation is from the bottom 8, i do include Palace and Brentford since they have played more games then most other sides, infact we have 3 games on Brentford so they are %100 in danager.
Before we play City these are the relevant fixtues

Wednesday
Burnley v Tottenham Hotspur
Watford v Crystal Palace
Liverpool v Leeds United

Spurs losing to City would be the most Everton thing ever after beating City but i cant see it and Leeds have no chance.
Also after that Watford game we will have 2 in hand on Watford and 3 on Palace.

Friday
Southampton v Norwich City
This will give us 3 in hand on Norwich, even if they win they are still in the zone and with the GD as good as 3 points behind us

Saturday
Leeds United v Tottenham Hotspur
Brentford v Newcastle United
Crystal Palace v Burnley
Manchester United v Watford

We could be 4th from bottom by the city game if Burnley Newcastle draw, we are heavily relying on Spurs this week, somewere these teams in the mix will pick up points this week, just hope it dosent harm us too much

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

I think we'll go down.

Run in is particularly brutal.

 

[ToffeeTim]

The Wolves Newcastle home double header is going to be very important. 4 points and we take a big step towards safety.

We need points from these two games. We have 3 games in 6 days in this spell though, so it's a tough ask. We need to win the first of the 3 games to get our confidence up.

 

[Dykovski200]

We have a tough run in, but Brentford are getting dragged in too, I don’t think Norwich will get out and then it’s between us, Burnley and Watford.

 

[Garyefc1987]

I honestly think this is our year to go.

Moshiri has to take the full blame on this as it was Rafael who got us in this mess.

What worries ms the most is the time it may take us to get back in the prem.

We will lose to many players to bounce straight back up pickford godfrey mina doucoure allan grey richi dcl will all defo be off i could see coleman hanging up his boots if we went down. And maybe our young players like branthwaite simms teams might try and nick them on the cheap if we went as well.

Moshiri will defo have alot to answer for if we do go i hope to god we dont but i cant see us winning enough games to stay up when teams like burnley newcastle seem to be finding some form now.

We are a abaolure shambles as a club its actually embarrasing that we have spent what we have to find us possibly going down.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

The palpable lack of a sense of urgency from the players yesterday is the most immediate concern. Shameless mercenaries.

 

[Caolam]

I think we need another 15 or 16 points to stay upI have had a look at the run in, really can't see where they will come from. I reckon we can get 11, maybe an unexpected win gets us 14. bringing us to 36. That could be enough so long as we don't concede lots of goals between now and the end of the season. We are really in the relegation battle, Burnley, Watford, Norwick and Leeds will all be looking at us as the team to get in front of, I look at their players and I see some fight and desire, I look at ours and can only see pay packets.

 

[overkill]

I agree, they haven’t changed and most don’t deserve to wear the shirt, but I think that if we go at teams from the start, the fans will be up for it.

The fans won’t allow them to shirk it.

But we have done my most this season, fans let them bottle villa, Watford, West ham and Brighton at home.

Or of the fans didn't let them.bottle.it, the fans support didn't help because the players were bottling regardless.

Brentford play 3 of the bottom 4 in the next 3 games so would it better for them to win them or lose them ?

Ooof, good question mate, can I take draws.

I would rather Newcastle beat them tbh, I think Brentford are the better option to be sucked into the dogfight

I know, I get what you are saying, but he fact that with the fact we actually attack teams under Lampard at home , and want to control possession, it should be better.

I think Burnley had more of the ball when we played them at Goodison. We won, but hit them on the break. I’d expect that against the likes of City or Liverpool, not teams like Burnley where we should dictate the game. The more the opposition have had the ball, the more they’ve exposed our dodgy defence.
