Relegation 2022/23

[Myllos]

What is wrong with this team? Every player makes the wrong decision EVERY SINGLE TIME. Opponents could just wait till we misplace a pass which always somehow ends up with their attacker 1v1 with Pickford. Every single tackle slides the ball to opposition. Every single dribble that our players make somehow breaks our formation and makes as vulnerable to counter-attack. You just [Poor language removed] know that no matter how many crosses we cross, how many shots we take and how many corners we kick, the ball is always going to the wrong place. [Poor language removed] this, why even bother. Life is [Poor language removed] and then you die.

The only thing keeping us out of the relegation zone before Christmas is the Blood and Sand cup. If we don't buy two forwards this January I can't see us staying up. So toothless.

I`m at the stage where I dread us signing any new players cause the ones we do sign seem to make things worse.

Any 3 from bottom 12 can go down.

1 win in 8 away from home.

No goals scored at all on the road since McNeill fired the winner at Southampton in middle of September.

5 away goals all season.

No matter how it's spun that's not better than last season at all.

Man. City, Arsenal and West Ham all looming in late December/January.

Just to repeat with similar away form to last season team will need to win 7 of last 12 at Goodison to match last's 9 wins and that was only enough to scrape safety.

Yep Brentford who hardly lose at home and have just won at Man. City are in grave danger of being relegated.

Got to be hot favourites very soon. Dropping like a lead balloon.

Failed to beat Bournemouth (twice), forest, villa, Leicester, Fulham, Brentford, and Leeds but there’s still people saying no chance we’re even in a relegation battle. Some level of delusion that.

Forest picking up form is a huge concern. Perhaps they won't want the break but it will still give Cooper more time to work with all their signings. They are making the City Ground a very place, 7 points from last 3 games and beat Spurs in cup pretty convincingly and fans are feeding off that.

Bournemouth on 16 points and Bielsa apparently coming in....oh dear. I had them down as a Norwich but in fairness Lerma, Billing, Solanke, Moore are all expereienced top level players.

Southampton are poor but could get a bounce under Jones.

Wolves are probably in the worst state as they so few goals in their regular 11. They'll probably spawn a 1-0 over Arsenal way this day has gone.

West Ham aren't in a good state either. Losing back to backs at home to Palace and Leicester is poor but they need to hold their nerve as they won't go down under Moyes.

Feel sick thinking about another year of this

Remember when we were all laughing at those pundits and online folks who were saying at the start of the season that we would go down or finish 17th? Turns out they were right. Soon to be a nothing mid table championship club, irrelevant and only ourselves to blame.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

I didnt have any concern over relegation last season just felt there were 3 worse teams than us.

This season feels different - Wolves and Villa will improve with both having appointed solid managers and WHU will get better under Moist.

We're in trouble if we stick with Lampard imo - 3 wins in last 16 league games is terrible.

Getting hammered twice in the span of five days by one of the promoted teams tells you all you need to know about this club.

Great new stadium to welcome MK Dons and Lincoln in 2024 though!

 

[jonnyboy316]

We deserve to go down. The way we approach games is so spineless. We don’t offer much to the league currently. We having a boring style of football with no exciting players.

If we go down it could be the end of us with the stadium build an anchor around our neck.

The only positive right now is we have this break where the majority of our squad are not involved. We need to reset. On a personal note I fly to Thailand for 2 weeks next weekend to recharge the batteries and get away from the stress of work and everyday life. I am not going to let Everton ruin that

Just in same position as what Villa, Sunderland and even Newcastle were a decade ago. Euphoria at end of seasons when team wakes up and wins four of last seven to stay up before the crushing reality as the months of the next season go on and team just heading to the same place a year on.
