9 Points from relegation

4 hard games vs Chelsea, Arsenal, Utd and Spurs
4 other games vs West Ham, Burnley, Palace and Fulham

We're lucky that there's 7 other teams below us all battling to avoid that 1 spot for the drop

Pretty much, not going to get relegated because of the amount of teams below is even if we lost them all.

Will will still win at least two more games though.

Nah not for me. Pretty pointless starting all over again. Bernard, Digne, Gomes are his signings so he is bringing talent in but he does need to sort the softness of the defence out once and for all....that may be in the summer along with a striker that makes that game totally out of reach. So he has till Nov/Dec for me. Some cracking footy today which is the positive but the softness cannot be rectified on the training field so gutsy players are welcome.

I thought, under the model we’ve adopted, that they were Brands signings.

That today, for me, was an abomination.

Unbelievable how everton everton have been recently.

And yet totally believable

If there hadn’t been a defender behind him, he’d have deffo gone

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

WOW, that's a sending off all day long.

 

[wiggum23]

You do realise we are on 37 points right?

‘Twas a joke mate

Yeah, read somewhere - apparently a change in rules recently that says pretty much that exact same thing but with more words.

Pickford SHOULD have been sent off lucky us as he save the pen. I thought what the f is he doing? But he's one of a few players that have played poor.

I thought they changed that so it's no longer a sending off offence?

 

[wiggum23]

Defo. We have had two so far predicting probable doom. They deserve to get their thread going just to entertain the rest of us.

Exactly

He stunk the gaff out flapping instead of catching first goal dived over the ball on a slight deflection, 2nd goal parries it out instead of tipping it over the bar .... plus his kicking his attitude with the home fans etc etc
Needs to be dropped after that performance....

Seems to be a culture of failure at this club and it’s both with the players and the coaches.

How on earth we can drop a 2 goal lead to an average team and lose the match you have to question everyone here.

Poor subs and mentally fragile players who can’t seem to take responsibility for closing a game out.

Let’s face it lads no matter how much we spend in a given transfer window until we find a manager to completely change this culture of failure we will do nothing.

We’ve been going backwards since Moyes left and I take no pleasure in saying this

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

I didn't see the Pickford pen mate, was it a deffo sending off offence?

He mishandled a shot and then rugby tackled Rondon who was about to tap it in

Very lucky to stay on for me

 

[Dymak]

If this was relegation form we'd be 18th. We aren't. It isn't relegation form so stop talking absolute toss.

We have been in relegation form since December. Something like 3 wins out of 14 games.

 

[terryefc]

Too many soft players in our team. Pathetic really. I hope we get rid of quite a few.

He rugby tackled him it was OFF all day long
