Top 4 ?

[Zatara]

Agree with that, injuries have taken their toll in the last few matches, and the squad is nowhere strong enough, in my opinion, to obtain the points necessary to get into the top six even. By the way do we have to play Aston Villa twice in these last ten games? I don’t recall us playing them this season.

Yes we do. One normal fixture plus the postponed game.

Chances are we won’t do that but we won 6 on the bounce in December/January, do that again starting against palace and we will be above Chelsea, now we will most probably then lose every game after that, it’s been that kind of season for Everton we can get 4th but we can also drop much lower, if we beat Liverpool 2-0 last week everyone is saying theirs a better chance at 4th but we lost 2-0 to Burnley

Yeah, like I said, i'm not saying 4th is impossible or we're doomed to slip into the bottom half. I was commenting after a couple of posters mentioned about us finishing top 6 at worst etc. I'm saying that our recent form - as in the most recent half of the season so far - just doesn't justify that confidence at all. We can turn it round, but we really have to turn it round. Playing and getting results as we have over the last 3 months will mean missing out on Europe, we have got to improve that substantially.

Carlo said the aim is European football. Also I think having Europa league would make us more likely to add to the squad

we have to add to the squad regardless mate

 

[Cameron Manning]

Yes we do. One normal fixture plus the postponed game.

Thanks, Zatara.

James, DCL and Richarlison 17 goals in 11 games together. So if they play 8/10 together in the run in that could be 12/15 goals from just them 3 which could be enough to get us the 7/8 wins required. If Sigurdsson can chip in with a couple and maybe Keane as well that might get us 20 goals which means we aren't just grinding out wins.

Ideally have to be going on a little unbeaten run considering 2x teams are gash and the other 2x are rivals for Europe.

8 out of 12 points needed for me if we are to get top 7. Big ask without Doucoure unless Gbamin can come back in and hit the ground running.

Hello

Any danger of the Villa away game being given a date? Be playing them three times next season at this rate

It's back in our own hands. We should have our first choice front 3 available. There is no excuses if we aren't back in the race by Monday night.

It will either be the midweek before or the midweek after the home game. I would prefer to play home first.

“Can we play you every week?”

“Can we play you every week?”

I hope we are singing that from our sofas after taking 6 points from them.

Miracle if he can hit the ground running after what's happened to him..
