Relegation 2022/23

[BlueStevie35]

I think Everton is on the some level like last season, but last season Richarlison hit form at he right moment and saved us. So no Richarlison, no hope to stay up. At least not with Lampard at the helm. Im sure so Lampard wont be here to see us go down... At least not in the Everton dugout.

We have the January window to bring someone in, and I’m 80% positive they will

If they didn't do it in the summer after a 60m sale, then what evidence is there they will do it in January?

After the debacle of last January (VDB Alli and El Ghazi) I dont expect much

Relegation is fast coming up in the rear view mirror and will continue to do so while Lampard is in charge

Because they don’t have a choice, especially if DCL is out for a while. It has to be two forward signings minimum, one wide one up top

That would make far too much sense. They will go for another midfield player instead and fans will lap it up because we signed someone.

I don’t think they will mate, I think we’ll see a couple of forwards in, either by loan or perm. Just my gut instinct

We won't

We fully expected them to sign attacking players in the summer - and they didn't

Why would now be any different?

I dont trust this club to recruit sensibly. They had a chance last summer to reset and go for a different approach but managed to replace Richarlison with Maupay and a load of midfielders.

11 goals in 14 games and people think it was a good window.... I wouldn't want to see a bad window.

Not signing a single player, like we did many a time under Moyes

14 points from 14 games is pretty dire stuff and unless we see some improvement it’s another relegation scrap season.

Honestly didn’t think it would be, but because we are so toothless it’s looking pretty inevitable.

Gordon, Gray, Maupay, Iwobi got about 10 between them in them all season.

Not sure we made a 60m sale under Moyes though

Rooney was the comparable example

And we replaced Rooney with Bent and Cahill, both unfancied by fans at the time

Yes

At a time when we actually knew how to recruit properly and didn't chuck 15 or 20m at bang average players every summer.

Our recruitment has been a total embarrassment for almost a decade now. The way we tried to replace Richarlison was just another example of that. Going into the season without a forward and chucking points down the drain.

We will get relegated eventually unless big changes are made.

The only way it’s gonna happen is a full cleansing of the board sadly and leeches seem hard to flush for the owner

Needed some pace so we signed Mcneil and Maupay. No wonder we're down there
