Relegation 2022/23

[luuk_deventer]

Just don't understand comments like this at all. Where does it even come from. Because of Allardyce? They have picked up 1 point in 2 games while he has been in charge but now they are all of a sudden going to pick up 4 points in 2 games?

Makes no sense whatsoever.

They have looked better in both games. A narrow loss away to City and a spirited draw against Newcastle which they might have won. It’s not out of the question to think their performances are picking up and they have two fixtures which, on paper, look winnable.

No one can predict what will happen. Wetting your knickers over every potential outcome is a waste of time and energy. After Leicester play tomorrow night nothing else can change until next Saturday .
But it's still pretty easy see what's needed if you use a bit of your brain .

This is literally the relegation thread for discussion of these exact topics.

 

[blue to the bone]

If any of the 4 clubs at the bottom were asked which clubs fixtures they wanted from there last 2 games I'd be very surprised if any of them didn't want our games .
So if we don't get it out of it then we can't blame anyone else.
But we will.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

what’s they’re score mate?

Currently 0-0

Yep.
But trying to predict every single scenario, what teams will rest players, what teams are on the beach is a complete and utter waste of time .
because no one has a clue . Add up the points again next Sunday evening and go again.

If my aunty had balls, then my uncle would have been gay.

We are currently out of the bottom 3. This notion that all teams are going to go on a winning streak when they have been crap all season is just fanciful. They are down there because they have been losing games.

Can you imagine all the other teams fans predicting us to beat Brighton? I bet most of them had down as an Everton loss.

See i am lost with senseless comments again. They got absolutely trounced by City who should have actually been about 8 nil up in the first half alone but for having a mare of missed sitters.

I think leeds have good fixtures aswell though. West ham have already shown they arent playing so many regulars due to europe.
And spurs at home? Jesus spurs packed it in weeks ago. Esp on the road.

OK, forget the performances, 1 point from two teams in the top 3 (4-3 across the two games) is a much better outcome than they might have expected before Allardyce and an indicator of better things to come. It might still be too late for them, either way.

 

[Walken]

Personally I believe we will get safe, Leicester are appalling and we are capable of 4 points in the next 2

 

[Lee Smith]

Not quite. They will only be fully safe by the time they kick off if Leicester lose tomorrow, a point and they can still overtake them- two Leicester wins and two West Ham losses would by definition mean Leicester end with better GD.

Obviously it's highly unlikely Leeds pass them with 11 goals between them but given that scenario involves Leeds winning twice and West Ham losing twice a GD swing isn't impossible. Put out the ressies and lose 4-0 and suddenly you look very foolish.

Yeah I edited my post to say “as long as Leicester don’t get a point”, but you were too fast for me before you got your reply in .

In a bizarre way I’m half thinking it may actually be a better result for Everton if Leicester do get a draw tomorrow against Liverpool, rather than lose. Sounds crazy, but it’ll keep West Ham “honest” for their penultimate game of the season at home against Leeds on Sunday, as West Ham will know that a defeat against Leeds could mean they could go into the last game of the season against Leicester still not totally safe. I’m thinking about a Leicester draw tomorrow as a bit of an insurance policy!

If Leicester lose tomorrow, on one hand that’s great for us, but then West Ham will know that baring a huge GD swing, then they are practically safe, and God knows what sort of team they’ll put out against Leeds in that situation

 

[Wat Tyler]

That Bournemouth game has Coventry 98 vibes about it, home to a bottom half team with nothing to play for, expected to win and we couldn’t even do that, we got safe by the skin of our teeth. That final day is going to be terrifying. It’s going to be a grim few weeks am afraid.

But we will.

Aside from Southampton, I don’t think you could pick two teams more desperate for the end of the league season than West Ham and Spurs (for different reasons).

Wolves have won their last 4 home games. They are very tough there. And Bournemouth have surprised everyone all season, O’Neill might be manager of the year.

Exactly compare their spirited efforts against city and barcodes compared to our capitulation once we went a goal down

 

[Ring master]

well it is. there’re can be loads of scenarios that’s why i asked

The only scenario to think about next week mate (as long as The Foxes dont win tomorrow) is go all out for an Everton win and hope the others lose and we are safe
