Relegation

If Norwich beat Burnley then Dyche has some job picking them back up off the ground.

4 points adrift of us with his banker game for points gone and 8 games to play.

That's the only game I will be watching today a win for Norwich will be huge for us.

Couple of things a mate just pointed out to me. Leicester play 3 games before they come to Goodison next, hope that takes some out of their legs.

Also check how many games Burnley has left in April compared to Everton’s two.

By the turn of next month we should know what needs to be done before a run of potentially hideous games hits us. Or ace ones if Everton react to the crowd like yesterday.

I said....

The reality is that we have a lifeline again to safety. Nothing more than that.

I think we're going to have to win on the road and get a draw to go with another couple of home wins.

Then we'll just have to see if Burnley can match 38 points.

The Burnley defeat was damaging.

Sorry to add that sour note on a decent day for us, but we really need some exceptional results to make sure we're safe.

...you said....

Quite possibly true, but you said 38pts won't be enough, which means you think they'll get at least that many.

So you think they're going to (at least) almost double their current points per game over the last 9?

Tell me how that is me claiming that 38 points wont be enough.

You dont seem to be able to comprehend what's put in front of you...and not for the first time.

They are hitting a few teams on the slide in the upcoming 3:

Norwich are pony
West Ham look to be focused more on the EL
Saints look in freefall as they tend to do after a few good results

Leicester
Liverpool
Chelsea

We certainly have the tougher fixtures we need minimum 4 points out of those 3 imo.

Looking at Burnley, if a half decent team can tip up and be beating them (Until we capitulated as per usual) then other teams will go there and get something.

Burnleys last 9 -:

Norwich (A)
West Ham (A)
Southampton (H)
Wolves (H)
Watford (A)
Aston Villa (H)
Spurs (A)
Aston Villa (A)
Newcastle (H)

If they get 9 from them 9 we just need 6 points, if they get 12 we need 9. Being as they have only managed 4 wins all season you cant make a case for them getting anymore than 1 or 2 wins from them. IMO I can seriously only see them beating Norwich and Watford, obviously it depends how other teams turn up but they are also capable of losing them as they are away from home.

If they only pick up 2 wins for the rest of the season we will only need 1 more!

IF

i can’t cope me lol

 

[matty1878]

Watford will be down by the time we play them.

Burnley have won 4 games all season. They're not very good.

but they beat us (obvs lol) how do we know they wont beat others?

 

[paultheblue]

The simple answer to this is 1 more than Burnley and Watford

 

[MikeH72]

Looking at Burnley’s fixtures I think we still might need 3 more wins

I think we definitely do need 3 more wins. 37 points is the target for me. Would’ve been 34 had we beaten Burnley. Game on.

 

[coollino]

we have the worst away record in the whole of europe

which is comforting here, in a way lol

That was my point in a rather long and convoluted way.... ?

Even if Burnley pull up to us today I don`t think they will win at West Ham next Sunday, obviously we don`t play till Wednesday night at home to Leicester. I just think at home under the lights at Goodison will see us win that one and the gap is 4 points again.

IF they don`t get a result today obv the gap could be 3 or 4 points with them going in to West Ham with us having the chance to extend to 6 or 7 points against Leicester....

It's all if and buts though mate, No matter what happens today it could have been a hell a lot worse if we had lost Yesterday.
Relax and enjoy your Sunday

We are useless away. And I don't, but can't see them winning loads of games.

Pretty sure I did, with that screenshot.

Grogu: "You reckon 38pts"
You: "I don't think it'll be any less"

Which was the post I replied to. The fact that you put an "if" in another post, doesn't change what you said in the one I quoted. It's pretty clear. You think Burnley will get at least 38pts. You literally said exactly that.

Strange for you to criticise other people's comprehension when you can't even comprehend your OWN posts lol
