Relegation 2022/23

Why oh why oh why did we have to leave Lampard in charge for the Southampton and West Ham games

Yeah, spent an absolute fortune. Be a hell of a firesale if they do go down.

Hopefully we could get a few players from them.

Hopefully we could get a few players from them.

Or maybe we could stop buying expensive players from relegated clubs and then acting affronted that we’re once again fighting relegation??

West Ham are poor. They won’t be putting a run of wins together anytime soon so they’re bang in the relegation mix. They also have a dour, overrated, risk-averse manager who thankfully for Everton kept his job when Lampard lost his.

 

[Bebeto]

Think about how bad we've been for most of this season, and somehow West Ham are below us in the table. There's still a bit of a perception that their squad is too good to go down, but 23 games is a lot of evidence to the contrary.

Dangers are when you think you're too good to go down...nearly happened to us last year when we had good attacking options...

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Don't think West Ham will go down. Think they have enough about them to find a few results.

Same reason we've got no backup striker worthy of the name and no creativity in the squad. We're mismanaged to the point of negligence.

Makes no difference, none of our fans would’ve accepted Dyche then, we could have gone for someone different and been worse. Our fans were expecting Tuchel and Poch at that point.

Forgot what good weekends felt like, keep it up blues.

Taking their sweet time to show it though.

I agree. But you look through their team and it is pretty average. Probably just enough, but they shouldn't be complacent.

I think you're right, but then again they are down there for a reason like the rest of us. I dont think you can rule anyone in or out yet.

They have Thursday nights starting again in a fortnight and they lack goals across the team.

Good days work and we didn’t even play

That's really not true. Dyche was in the frame forever. The majority of the fanbase accepted a change was required as soon as we got hammered at home to Brighton. Many had accepted it after the Wolves game.

3 points on Leeds, West Ham, Wolves and Leicester.
2 points on Forest and Palace.

I know people are going on about Southampton and Bournemouth winning, but surely this hasn't been a bad weekend.
