Relegation

[FrenchDarrenBent]

Under no circumstance can we get relegated. No garantuees of returning anytime soon.
Look at Sunderland, they might win the Papa Johns-trophy now. The fanbase must be real proud.
Look at Forest, Leeds & Derby...

They're gonna sack him if there is no visible improvement by mid-february. I'm giving him until then.

Getting relegated is never the answer. And anyone who says they aren’t arsed needs to question their love for this club.

But... But.... But.....
Play off finals at Wembley
?

No chance of relegation. move on.

Norwich keep coming up, it can't be that hard lol

Norwich have a championship winning side, they're just used to it now lol.

Our group of shrinking violets would be absolutely awful in the championship.

We have 20 games left at this point and we have 19 points. If we say we need 40 then we need 21 points to be assured of safety. Even with our poor squad that should be possible. Hopefully we add a few players to the squad and can get 6 wins and 3 draws out of those 20 games.

In the premier league it’s hard to judge where those points will come from, I just hope we don’t go into the final day needing a result

We won't even need 40. Problem is the manager. Totally clueless tactically and someone who has destroyed the morale at the Club in just 4 months.
A couple of Aspirin doesn't cure a cancer.

Who will we beat? We've played all of our easy home games already.

Looking at the fixtures, below are the ones I would say we can get something from.

Norwich away
Villa home
Leeds home
Southampton Away
Wolves home
Watford away
Palace home
Leicester away
Brentford home

A team trying to avoid relegation needs fight, and a united fan base to keep them going. We have neither. Regardless of his managerial ability, we'll never have a united fan base with Benitez in charge, he'll take us down.

Norwich away
Villa home
Leeds home
Southampton Away
Wolves home
Watford away
Palace home
Leicester away
Brentford home

These are the ones we all usually would expect something. The issue isn't whether we have the players capable of beating them but whether the manager believes we can win and set the team up accordingly.

We are unbelievably negative, defending a 0-0 from the first whistle. It wouldn't surprise me if he stuck 5 at the back against Hull.

I keep thinking Roy Castle for some reason

relegation, oo relegation,
relegation that's what you need,
If you wanna be a record breaker

sorry I'll get my coat.

Look at the previous fixtures and tell yourself that, the only points we’ve take in the last 3 months are against Chelsea arsenal Spurs and united

Our last several games of this season are absolutely horrible and could really be an issue if we’ve not give ourselves a buffer by then

usually I'd agree, but I just don't feel confident about playing anyone at the moment, you could put our lads out against a Sunday League side and I'd still expect to concede from a set-piece in the first 20mins

 

[sageyefc]

And for the few that have said they’d be ok with us going down, give yourselves a slap round the head, if we did get relegated we wouldn’t recover, we’d do a Sunderland and drop like a stone

Relegation would be the death of Everton. We have one glimmer of hope and that’s the Stadium. We go that goes with any hope of building to the future. We all no the manger and team aren’t great and the Stadium isn’t going to be an instant fix but it is literally the only thing keeping some fans going at the moment. With the hope of when it’s done we can build a world class team to go with the world class stadium.

It's sad but I think at the moment I wouldn't really care too much if we got relegated. I can't see Richarlison and DCL staying and they are the only chance we have to get better. If they leave we are finished for the next few years anyway. Unbelievable how Moshiri has managed to make such a Horlicks of it.

100% this! Unbelievable how a bloke who is apparently an “accountant” (?), and supposedly a billionaire in his own right, can make so many continually poor decisions!
