Relegation

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Terrifying

We’re a long way from safety

 

[Sheedy's right peg]

And THAT is the concerning thing.

If we cant get points from a Villa team - who arern't all that - with "Dunc" in the dugout...who these players "will" play for, we are right in the dogfight.

They definitely played for the manager and the club today. They did run. They did try. That's not the problem.

Been saying it for a while now, I am worried we waited too long to sack Benitez. We are in a relegation battle for sure. We've become accustomed to losing and forgotten how to win. I really hope we haven't left it too late. We have got to get a centre midfielder in who is not terrified of the ball and has some power and pace. It really doesn't matter if it's on loan or permanent, we have to have some quality in centre mid or we are gone.

There's no excuse for it really, we should have had enough points on the board by now to be unconcerned about relegation, but, things have been allowed to slide under Benitez and we are where we are. Well done agent Benitez, you have really fecked us up.

Thing for me mate is this: Villa are bang average. We had a stadium buzzing and the players all focussed...and we looked clueless apart for once or twice.

This is beyond doubt a time of real concern.
Even last night I was saying it wasn't a relegation season - based on the view we'd have players back and we'd get a bump from a new man in the dugout.

That optimism has been steamrollered.

Everton don't do relegation's, there might be a lot of bad things in our culture but relegation's isn't one of them

This sort of attitude is why we could go down

Apathy and Arrogance kill clubs in our position

 

[Deckard2049]

At least there’s a bit of time to get someone in now. There is no way it should be Ferguson but does anyone believe we’ll make the right appointment anyway?

 

[Micronman]

Going down. On the flip side you get more matches for your season ticket.

 

[Austrax]

If we do go down atleast we'd have a chance of winning something next season.

To be brutally honest I’m not to sure about that.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Ferguson saying he is waiting for the new man

 

[blue to the bone]

I’d say we need 7 more wins.
That’s a big ask with this side.

32/33 will keep a team up again this season.
Factor in draws as well. I'd predict 18 points would do comfortably

 

[Willie Thorne]

Gone from red alert to blue alert.

I changed the bulb..

If we go down then we’re Leeds

We’ll be gone for decades

 

[Gordon Lee's Cushion]

Calm heads, we are not going down, I get that it is concerning though. We will have a new manager by the end of the international break, if not before. We can easily achieve enough points to stay clear of the bottom three. it does help that they are worse than us.

We all know who the only true candidate is to fight relegation. Welcome back Sam and Sammy.

You think more of Everton is a good thing?

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Most of the time Teams dont go down in one season. It takes a period of time. Usually 3 or so seasons. Badly managed and poorly run clubs. I would have been a glass half full supporter for last number of years seeing the poor recruitment and standard of player we have in our squad. This team is poor. Character wise and quality. Holgate, kenny, keane, davis, iwobi, coleman (3 years) , Gomes since injury, delph, soggy, to name a few are all as I would call bang average footballers at best (some of them are utterly woeful.

Ferguson will keep us up. Leave him there until summer. If we bring in a new manager those cack players will being us down. 100%

To those who have been saying no chance of relegation I actually wonder what planet ye have been on for last number of years.Ye keep saying there are 3 worse teams. No there is not. We are as bad as them.
