Relegation

[JLW]

Everything that is happening at the minute is pointing towards us getting relegated but even after yesterday i still believe we will stay up, form doesn't last forever whether its good or bad form.

Don't get me wrong we have a gang of absolute sh1tehouses and it doesn't look like we will ever win another football match again but we will, as bad as it looks we will pick up enough points to avoid the drop.

We haven't replaced hamez in the number ten role, that area of the pitch is always empty, it's so obvious but we don't have anyone capable of doing that job.

I would have assumed that Dele was bought to fill that role but we’ve not seen anything from him at all so far. Although I don’t see how we shoehorn a 10 into the team given Lampard’s preferred formations. Personally I would go 4-5-1 and give Dele a go behind the striker, or play 3 CMs and play him as a wide playmaker. Getting to the point where we have to try something. Our defence is a shambles and we aren’t creating enough chances at the other end to compensate for it atm.

We need to get a couple of wins on the bounce or take 7 points from 3 games or something just to give the team some impetus. I’m just hoping it’s still in our hands come the last day, I can’t see us pulling clear of trouble before that but hope I’m proved wrong.

Taking a step back from them me now will be back again thursday but thats it. I would play all the cb on thursday holgate keane branthwait godfrey. Try and get some defensive shape at the back, just really hope we can get some form just cant get over what this team has done to us fans.

I guess so.

Cos I won't be gaining any enjoyment with us in the championship because we'll be there a long time IMO.

And being rubbish in the premiership is different to being rubbish in the championship.

You dont know any of that, cos you have never experienced it before.

The example of this is whow EVERY club that has gone donw, found a way to enjoy competing at that level.

I know Leeds match going fans who hate the prem, and were just as happy in Champ. Same with City match going lads I know, they are happy winning stuff, but enjoyed going the games just as much in the lower leagues, beacuse nothing changed much....same family, friends, trains busses, same colour top, same badge, same songs.

Suppose it matters depening on what type of fan or supporter you/I are.

Jesus, last game in Goodison could well be in the championship. FFS Everton.

We’re not getting a new stadium if we go down.

Being us, we've probably agreed a date to be out of Goodison and we will end up playing at Goals in Speke

I know he's made of glass, but we need Yerry back ASAP.

Our current defence is the worst in the league, I wouldn't even say it's Championship standard.

Always look more solid defensively when Yerry plays his annual 17 minutes before going off injured.

I know I shouldn't laugh but it is so true ?

And you actually still think this is happening? Our sponsorships have been suspended, we have record loses with stories about sanctions from the league and when you throw in possible relegation.

I have more chance of spending the night with Scarlett Johannson than us getting a new stadium.

He will be back for the last home game of the season walking around the pitch with a baby in his arms waving us off to Rotherham and he to Spain

Big picture, I was never as bullish as many on here about the Wolves game. They are not the type of side we were ever likely to get points from.

Newcastle however, that's a must win. Get 3 points there, we have hope

Anything but a win, and we're going down

Jordan has done a u turn on his initial talk about sanctions

Think it's been a pipe dream for a while. Moshiri wants to sell, it's obvious. Promote the prospect of a new stadium and sell the Everton package of a ready-to-invest top flight club that's ripe for scaling. It's just not going to happen if we keep finishing anywhere in the bottom half of the table, and it absolutely will not happen if we go down as financially we'll be looking to minimise outgoings and maximise income. Stadiums wouldn't even enter the equation.
