The Now-Irrelevant 2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[matty1878]

I'm coming back to you after the allegedly hard games of Wolves and Arsenal, which apparently we were going to lose.

i’m hoping we can

but city we’re beating us anyway

without they’re poor form

 

[matty1878]

Errm politely that game is likely to be a draw. We have lost 2 in 11.

I'll be honest, we will be fine. Weren't you telling me we would be bottom by now recently?

politely why is it?

ohhh 2 in 11

we’re won loads of them

we are in a relegation fight end of

I’d be happy with a point. Move us up a place. Keep another clean sheet

we have sean dyche

that is all

That was a very patronising and condescending reply he made to you as well i thought.

Especially coming from a poster who's Everton credentials i'm highly dubious and suspicious of.

would be great

Depends on Leicester’s result at home to Wolves.

credentials

 

[matty1878]

He will be out of a job before the end of the season, Ipswich won’t be paying him 5 mill + in the championship.

don’t tell zat

 

[Gilbert..]

Chris Wilder has done a better job taking a team from league one to the premiership, kept them up, all playing with expansive overlapping centre backs.

No one would touch him with a barge pole here. But McKenna.......

Im just a bit of an observer here on this one. Tbh i havent a massive interest. But chris wilders been a manager for 24 years. Ipswich is Mckenna's first job. His first 3 years. Two promotions. I think half the squad he's got were playing wycombe on his first game.
He aint done to bad lol.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Evertonian, kopite or whatever you're having yourself the man is totally and utterly away with the fairies.

 

[matty1878]

Palace look a basket case.

Very much in this relegation fight.

IMO they'll win more games than us but they wont win an awful lot more and we are a team that can grind out draws.

I expect us to finish higher than them.

so if they’re in a relegation fight

but will win more games than us

and we aren’t in a relegation fight dave?

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ua

Wilder had a few more years and a lot more experience than McKenna. Ultimately McKenna has shown a degree of potential….its going to be about how he learns from these experience and adapts accordingly.

Was just using him as an example comparing to flavour of the month managers with the same path

 

[Toffeeforme]

If Man City get relagated does 3rd from bottom stay up.

 

[knowing your history]

Chelsea & City = 4pts

Then we can relax a bit.



If after summer ww have a forward line comparable to those 3 i'll be gutted

Really? Mateta had a brilliant end to last season with 13 prem goals in last 13 games. Even better than what DCL was producing in Carloball. Slower start this season (after playing for France in Olympics) but still scored 7 this season.

Eze is easily the best attacker in the bottom half. I like Ndiaye but Eze is a level above and pretty much like Grealish was at Villa so surely he'll move on next summer.

Sarr hot and cold but in very good form currently. He also has pace which this club desperately needs.

I'm afraid there's only so far up a table workaholics like McNeill and Harrison can get you even if they have good games.
