Relegation Fight 2014/2015

[Khalekan]

Radio City - Alan Irvine was saying he thinks we will survive on one of the lowest record points total in a season.

I agree with Alan insofar as it won't take anything like 40 points to stsy up this season.

I could see us staying up with 34 and the extra point that our goal difference will probably give us.

oops, wrong thread...

Highest CL totals last year
Lowest Relegation totals this year.

You could call this ironic, no?

Also, never thought I'd wish Tony Pulis was still looking for a job...

i just think it's comical that the same people who say we can't predict teams below us results but go on to assume that we'll lose or draw every match (all while saying you can't predict anything). can't have it both ways

I just can't see us winning at Stoke and that is the first time I've said that in ages. It used to be expected three points in every game apart from the away ones v top sides were maybe you hoped for a draw (and back then we were complaining about that mindset!). Now I'm only confident of a draw at best in every game apart from home ones v the worst sides in the league and even then as WBA, Hull and Leicester show, even that shouldn't be expected. Would take a point from Stoke and that hurts to say. They're a lot better than us. Martinez has ripped away all of the standards, aura, and fear this Everton side used to have. We were regarded as one of the most difficult grounds to play at and part of a group of 7 who were almost in a different league to the rest of the prem. Martinez has cast us back even worse than the also rans now in one season. Cannot wait until he is out. Every weekend this season has been miserable.

I think we win this one. The pressure on Martinez is immense! If we lose I would like to think he would tender his resignation, and end the madness

He didn't at Wigan why would he here? Yes we're bigger than Wigan but I don't think he will resign or get sacked. Its appalling that every few games we are saying "we have to win this" to get points to stay afloat.

 

[eddy]

It is a `must win` I think the players all know it, I think it will be a good game, and I hope we win.
If we are lucky a continental club will come in for him in the summer and save us the severance pay, may get a few quid on top!

37 points and we'll be safe, that's 9 points from our remaining 10 games - or 3 wins.

I think we'll be fine, but questions must be asked.

I think we'll be fine, but questions must be asked.

We've won 6 in 27 though. We will probably be relying on draws. So depressing.

 

[tim cahill]

Tonight's games aren't doing us any favours at the moment. Anyone who still thinks we're not in a relegation battle is in denial.

And if that is the end result, how sodding pathetic for a club of our stature.

He won't do that mate.

 

[Huyton Layne]

It's on!

 

[Kev The Rat]

A lot of people saying it will take a very low number of points to survive maybe even as low as 34, but you have to legislate for the teams near the bottom picking up more points than they have been getting over the final 6 or so games of the season. That's normally what happens.
