It's down to 5 teams for 3 places, Norwich seem to be gone but it's wide open for the other two places.
Based on the points per game we are still out of the bottom three.

Pos Team pts games aver finish
16th Lee 26 29 0.89 34.06
17th Eve 22 26 0.84 32.15
18th Burn 21 27 0.77 29.55
19th Wat 22 29 0.75 28.82
20th Nor 17 29 0.58 22.27

As it stands 30 points is the survival mark so all we need is 8 points.
8 points from 12 games is the new target should be easy enough

Do you reckon?

We still have 12 games to play. Some very winnable games. Even with our team.

We aren’t in the bottom 3 (yet)

We have more games to play than those below us and directly above us. People saying games in hand don’t matter but they obviously do.

If we can’t stay up we deserve to go down.

Thursday is massive.

I don't think we're the big club that we used to be / think we are. Pick your poison. Either way we're absolutely miles away from being a relevance at the top table.

And that's even if we stay up. This club has been poorly run, since when David Marsh took over as chairman. There was already signs of decline, under his predecessor Sir Phillip Carter as well.

We dodged the bullet in 1994 and 1998, but it looks like the chickens are finally coming home to roost in 2022. Over thirty years worth of poor leadership and decision making, is bound to catch up with you eventually.

At this rate, yes.

We've all watched football long enough to see changes in fortune though.

A win against Newcastle to get us clear a few points on Thursday and then a free shot at Palace to get to Wembley.

That would be the boost we need.

And let's have it right: they might be doing better than us atm but Newcastle and Palace are not City followed by Liverpool.

Momentum can still be had. All it takes is a goal or two and we're moving in the right direction. Maybe.


Bottom line is that we shouldn't be reaching for the bleach too soon. All is definitely not lost. Anyone saying so is wrong. It's fear talking.

this team/club absolutely reeks of relegation, has done for about the last 4 years this season is simply a culmination of the Moshiri era and the mismanagement of what is a historic sporting institution, shame on him, shame on Kenwright

Lads its not the 90's anymore - clubs get the TV money for a number of season via parachute payments hence why clubs like Fulham and Norwich making a killing off being yoyo clubs.

Yes we'll have to boot a few big earners off the books like DCL, Mina, Pickford but there fees + Moshiri being a mad man with his dough will tie us over.

Dont fear something you cant control. You dont go to bed every night worrying you might not wake up so dont be worrying about Evertons finances.

Yes parachute payments, £40m instead of £100m in your 1st season down then reducing £10m-£15m per season.... this club would not sustain a £60m hit in revenue and lost sponsorship if we got relegated on top of record losses for the last 4 years, we could be even worse than the Leeds scenario, I cant stress just how catastrophic it would be, none of our players have relegation clauses!

Exactly. It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Even the media are catching up now. Decades later from their love-in with Kenwright. We have produced turgid, appalling anti-football almost continuously since 2014.
This was on the cards unless we woke up early enough. We didn't. We are sleepwalking into this which is the worst thing.

I left in the one's we wouldn't be able to flog. Never said it's what I wanted, but very few of our 'superstars' will be around once we get relegated.

Frank doesn't seem keen on Branthwaite and Patterson. And captain Coleman will desperately try in vain to make things right.

But still it is a crap line up suggestion. If we go down we will have to bring a lot of new players in. Yes we should blood some youngsters but Dobbin and Warrington for example are still very young. And Broadhead is not the level you want to build for the future: players who could get you up and then can stay and perform in the PL..let's hope it doesn't come to this
 
The problem is Frank has absolutely zero margin for error.
Today I could see Pickford wanted to belt it up but Holgate and Godfrey wanted to play out from back. When we did get in behind it was thru build up play.
But these players are just not good enough to carry out simple instructions.

Thursday being massive is an understatement! I will lose it if we play a 5 at the back, flood that midfield for gods sake and if Frank has anything about him, he sees a player is not chasing a piece of litter on the field get them hooked And off the park straight away. Sick of this lackadaisical attitude, we need to fight now and not next time
