Relegation 2022/23

[Look to the future]

I think we have a good chance against Spurs but worry that Richy knows where the net is at Goodison.

 

[blue61]

Our record against Spurs is generally garbage, and needs to change.

 

[kiss the crest]

Just been looking at all the teams around us, West Ham have 2 games on us with only 2 points difference, they also play a lot of teams around in the coming weeks, I think Bournemouth also play similar games regarding teams around us and that win yesterday will give them big confidence

Forest are the team we have to focus on to getting above asap, we have to take points from our next 3 games hopefully at least 4

Leeds are another who it could go either way with them

 

[Simon Buttle]

I'd be looking for all 3.

Are we really suggesting we can beat Arsenal and not flakey Spurs?

I know what your saying but Kane will score against Tarkowski and Keane, it's another game like yesterday where we will have to be on the front foot and score early imo.

 

[Andy McGurk]

Just to let you know that Leeds play Forest in their game in hand, so they can't all win

If they win today against Villa (not great for us) it stats to make the battle at the bottom really interesting imo. Leicester are the ones to watch for me, they are sinking like a stone and have just lost a CB to a red card and have some must win games coming up. Also Palace just can't score a goal and there is some talk about Vieras days being numbered, when you look at their squad on paper there are a lot of talented players there and he isn't getting the best from them.

He might do, but he'll have to work 100% harder for any goal against us now than against any Lampard Everton team.

If we restrict Spurs to a few chances we can also create very good chances ourselves. We're low scoring at the moment but we are scoring and we have the capacity to score more.

Bottom line: I expect us to rebuff what Spurs have to offer in the same way we rebuffed Arsenal and Brentford's attack.

There's three points there for us and it'll keep us on track.

Looking at our fixtures just then just shows how important that win was yesterday
4 wins and 3 draws, and the games we are marking off for points we have to get them. We were hanging on yesterday so imagine the same but against Tottenham or Newcastle. It's going to be tough

Yeah, if we hadn't won yesterday I wouldn't have fancied our chances of staying up. We now at least have a fighting chance.

Have you seen the upcoming fixtures? We’ll be lucky to get a point out of our next 5 games.

We've left it too late, we were down with the Villa and Forest results.

No one wants to hear it after a home win of course, which is understandable, but we are still favourites to go down with Bournemouth and Southampton. And the likes of Southampton themselves have 2 games in hand on us still.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Have you seen the upcoming fixtures? We’ll be lucky to get a point out of our next 5 games.

And yet we beat the current league leaders, I wouldn’t say with absolute certainty that we’ll lose all 5 imo

That’s why I wrote that we’d be lucky to get a point.

Which reinforces my point. If we hadn't won yesterday our next few games are fairly tough. We did win, we now have a fighting chance of staying up. Notice I said a 'fighting chance of staying up' not that we are favourites to stay up or will stay up.

 

[COYBL25]

Looking at the xgs, xas, ppgs, heat maps, the super computer predictor and the pythagarus thereom I can confirm we are down unfortunately

Can you transfer that to a graph or a chart please.

There seems to be a noticeable lack of chart / graph activity, after a win.

 

[BlueStevie35]

That’s why I wrote that we’d be lucky to get a point.

Really? Just one point? When we have Spurs under the Goodison lights, Fulham who’ve won once at Goodison and never with fans in 60 odd years and a free falling Palace?
