Relegation

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

It's a sick joke we are talking like this really

Is what it is sadly

A testament to how badly the club has been run

Assume they will go back to behind closed doors before they take the nuclear option of a months break? Even taking a single weekend break is genie out of the bottle stuff, it will end up being extended. Postpone and reschedule specific games as needed (hell they stiffed us to suit City last season at a moments notice) but lets not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Plus throw in the Qatar WC to the mix next Christmas and there frankly isnt time to take a break over the coming weeks. Quite the pickle.

They could always hold the WC in Jan or Feb 2023 I guess

I’m secretly hoping the league gets puts on hold due to covid and we can come back in Feb/Mar with people fit and rested

Echo the thoughts from a number on here. A break after this fixture ahead of our favourable run of games would be great for us

Not bothered what he says to be honest

Newcastle losing last night whilst we got a point was huge

Burnley, Newcastle and Norwich all to come in December/January

Must win games those. Add in a win over Brighton at Goodison and that's 12 vital points

Taking into account we play Hull in the cup as well, 26th December up to 15th January is the pivotal section of this season for us

It will be close, but we will not go down.

Still the worst set of players, manager, owners, I have witnessed since following the Toffee's from the 1960's.

This league has some even worse teams. Will be a crap year but probably will finish around 13th

Slightly tongue in cheek!

He's a Chelsea fan, having a sulk, and getting wound up a little by his co-host

Realistically last night was a rousing game but we only added 1 pt to our season. We are still in 14th. The Newcastle and Leeds results were better for us than the result at Chelsea.
How far we have fallen so quickly.

Dunno really, we needed something, anything, and a point helps. Those sort of points are probably going to be why we get to about 45 points and relative safety rather than only 40 and a lot of unnecessary stress in April time.

Not that it's in any way good enough to get to 45 points. It would be a pretty dreadful return. But this is the relegation thread, and you aren't going down with over 40 points.

Not bothered what he says to be honest

Especially when he's basing us going down on a team that held the mighty Chelsea to a draw while missing DCL, Gray, Digne, Mina, Allan and Richarlison plus other injuries to lesser players like Coleman, Rondon, Davies etc.

So a team of reserves can pick up points but when the first team is completely fit we're going down? Maybe we could go down if injuries and bad luck persists but it won't be based on his logic there. What a tosser, he's just fuming
