Relegation

[April1970]

I think Brentford will drop into the bottom 3 and the promoted clubs will be relegated. I have a idea we will finish 16th, but that might be wishful thinking.

I've gotten even more bitter when thinking about ...him I wish he was sacked much earlier (or not hired at all)

Yip.

For sure.

 

[Khalekan]

I think we'll survive, but looking at these fixtures it's pretty difficult, and its going to kill our nerves!
Say we need another 15 points to reach 37, here's my hope for the results below:
and it needs a couple of really tough results out of the ordinary ! They are marked **

I'm hoping for 'not a thrashing' cos that's a positive result from Man City, and in the middle there a 6 match unbeaten run. It's going to take something that hasn't been done this season, even if we look at it objectively!
GULP!!! How did we get where we are !! 15 points from the last 15 games is rubbish, but really tough to get. Thanks Rafael EDIT:Thanks, Koeman, Moshiri,Allardyce & Silva. Thanks Carlo for bailing. Thanks Delph for your leadership.

Remember….all the teams down the relegation area face a similiar run of games.

Leeds, for example, play the RS away next followed by Spurs at home next Saturday.

We wont get relegated, although if the FSW had stayed we probably would have. The team will improve over the coming weeks and start picking up points away as well as the home games. The real problem is we currently wont achieve any sort of success with a lot of these players, and that is going to take time to sort out.

Because the fact we haven’t been in the bottom 3 all season doesn’t mean anything? We only need to be in the bottom 3 at 4:55pm on match day 38 to be relegated. The table doesn’t care how long we’ve been in it for the rest of the season.

All games kick off at 4:00pm last day of the season, so technically we’d still have a half game of football to play to save ourselves… GET HORNE AND STUART ON FFS!!

3 wins and a load of draws may do the job. However I think we’ve forgotten how to draw games, which is a worry. We really need to start turning some of these defeats into draws every now and again. We can’t go on winning 1 and then losing 4.

I get people being positive, and I get people being negative, but the people being downright dismissive of us being in a dire position and in a real relegation battle when we’ve still go

Home: City, United, Chelsea, Palace, Newcastle, Brentford, Wolves
Away: Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool, West Ham, Burnley, Watford

We’ve got a lot of very dodgy games there on paper.

We saw with Leeds we can be fantastic, but we’ve shown with the last two aways we can be terribly. It’s fine to be nervous, but we’ve got to rally as fans and try our best to back them in those last 7 home games and whatever else away.

It’s in our hands, and if results go against us next week we could end up in the relegation zone, but important not to panic.

Up the Toffees.

We have to play Leicester twice as well as those games

 

[maccavennie]

Arguebaly so called 5 central midfielders who we paid massive money on plus big wages have helped caused this situation
Gomes - Siguurdson - Delph - Gbamin - iwobi!

About 125m worth of absolute crap

 

[mikel_88]

Need to be getting atleast a draw on away games. Have to go again vs city tough game but have to go for the points same backing from the fans again. Just have to back the players to get us safe then hope we can change it it the transfer window

 

[MikeH72]

If Nketiah had scored that header from a yard out we’d be on 19 points now haha.

 

[Davideeyore]

I think it's going to get worse before it gets better. I hope we can turn up against City and Tottenham. But apart from the RS I think they're two tough games. It's the meekness, the weak passive nature of this team that's doing my head in. Yesterday they could hardly keep the ball for even just four or five seconds. The passing was dreadful. The attitude stunk. This, after such a rip roaring result against Leeds. It's embarrassing, it's shameful.

The point is we should be picking up in the remaining games home and away, but this lot are not convincing. They're not up for the fight. Certainly away from home. It's scornful. Half the players but the team as a whole just simply don't look as if they give a damn if we stay up or go down. It's vital Lampard takes out the players that are bad eggs.

Aubameyang missing a sitter with the last kick of the game lel

Yeah he deffo missed that on purpose too.

Of course we do!

8 home games, that’s a lot of chances to make Goodison a Fortress.

If we get Goodison like Leeds every game we’ve got a great chance.
