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

[Bob Elstone]

Even as pessimistic an Evertonian as i am its not easly turned on its head. Thats a 3 game consec loss and visa versa 3 game consec win for those below us.
But more importantly. No Dyche. we were sinking like the Titanic under him. We wouldnt have just got 9 points from 9 under him. We couldnt even muster a shot on target.
Thats why its not easly turned. Id never say never. But not easly.
No Dyche. Vibe around the team and club is chalk and cheese.

It’s worrying that the friedkins wanted dyche to carry on.

Leicester look far better with Daka upfront. Van Nistelrooy has hindered them last few months pandering to Vardy who can poach tap ins but can't run behind a backline anymore.

Their defence is abysmal though, and RVN doesn't look like sorting it out anytime soon.

They might look better, but it's still another loss to what is a poor team.

Possibly. I think they wanted to just get to the Summer. Im hoping its fully true that they booted him out after his awful admission that he had no answers.

But, but, but how could they get rid of a miracle worker?

That first half is relegation performance. Let's hope we get some of the injured back soon, because we could be struggling despite having 9 points lead. Hopefully they can be bothered with the cup and keeping their energy level for the Derby.

Still 6 points clear after today

We hardly need anymore points now.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Wow we are very poor today. Glad it’s not a league game.

Need another 9 or so...playing like we have in the first half, we would not get them. Hopefully it's just tiredness, coupled with injuries and lack of desire today which I am sure moyes will correct

Still 6 points clear after today

We’re 9 points clear?

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I just don’t know why mentally you approach today differently than any other match. ls it simply because it’s classified as FA vs. PL? Because of who we’re playing, it’s more like a PL match if anything.

The only difference playing RS is it’s in close proximity to today. That’s it. The other 19 play RS twice, too. Sometimes there aren’t reasons besides we’re struggling today or we’ve been figured out by today’s manager.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

We’ve been lucky to mostly play sides worse than us since Moyes came in

Still a pretty big gulf between us and the decent sides, as today has shown

The next 9 points we’re going to need might take longer than we’d like

 

[neil999]

We’re 9 points clear?

Big trouble I'm afraid ..Leicester should have beaten utd yesterday...a sign that they will win 6 in a row

2 wins and two or three draws. No need to worry I think. All about the summer rebuild now.
