Good afternoon (well not really) fellow blooos. After another disheartening defeat delivered by the fat man, I think it might be time to look reality in the eyes.
The funfair that some on here created by championing the saviour seems to have back fired. The glorified survival specialist who was brought in because we were going down (as they’d have us believe) has now sent us spiralling into free fall.
Coming in we sat 13th and 5 points off the relegation zone, fast forward 16 games and £40m spent on attacking reinforcements we are 7 points ahead with a worrying set of fixtures ahead.
Everton v Brighton
Stoke v Everton
Everton v Man City
Everton v Liverpool
Swansea v Everton
Everton v Newcastle
Huddersfield v Everton
Everton v Southampton
West Ham v Everton
The road to survival will include lots of twists and turns and it’s conceivable that 40points may not be enough.
Burnley managed to have 20+ shots today, if the RS and City turn up at the old lady with a lob-on then we could see 2 double figure games
Looking at the above fixtures I can only see us picking a maximum of 7, at a push. A reality that we may need to accept that our £300m team could be playing football in the championship next season.
I, admittedly, got to far carried away in the summer. A huge outlay casted a shadow on my judgement, now reality has gripped me by the balls.
So, my fellow blues, I adhere you not to hide behind the old “we’re too good” argument and prepare for a run in that made men of us in the 90’s
The fear is real, embrace it
