Relegation

It certainly is mate. We’ve got to rely on the Goodison dragging the players through.

yep

if IF city lose they WILL bum us nxt week fact

They’ll bum us anyway mate.

The chances are this gets very uncomfortable in the next 2 weeks. That doesn't mean we are doomed. But it could get very nervy.

Today was a chance to really take a big step to safety by following up a top performance. Instead the players reverted back to type and were easily beaten by a team who wanted it far more. There is no quick fix to this with such poor attitudes and fragile mentalities. I think quite a few bottled it today and while its a big concern, it's also nothing new.

loads needs binning off summer

The season will come down to those games.

Newcastle home
Burnley away
Watford away.

We win those then we stay up. Lose them/draw and it’s curtains.

Yeah we had six 6 pointers, we lost 2 and won one and have three left, all on these, it's in our hands

That would give us 31 points....thats relegation.

If we won those three against our rivals I reckon it gives us enough confidence to find another few points from somewhere else.

I worry that we haven’t got the bottle to win those games though.

Same every summer. My worry is we recruit badly and find ourselves in an even worse situation next year. We could easily end up doing what Villa did.

 

[Death]

Yeah got that one wrong!

Say sorry

 

[Ring master]

Said it for many weeks like Groundhog day, just like Everton performance's, but we are in massive trouble if we are close to the bottom 3 with some of the hardest games in that run in that you dont want, some of these players are pulling the wool on us, playing well one week while back to normal the next, while some are just bad and pull of the odd rare good game that has many thinking that player may be set to be better for the rest of the season

The 3 day stretch against Newcastle and Watford will decide the season.

 

[nsno-chris]

Then dont ask.

Fancy wanting Everton to get beat

I kind of disagree with the the draw situation, despite what I initially said.Three points for our opponents would be catastrophic. In our present circumstances its just as important simply not to lose.

You did that all season Benitez was here...and Martinez...and Silva.

Everton's haul of 22 points from their first 23 games represents their worst tally at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 1950-51.

We had 22 and were relegated. I'm sure it was still two points per game then too.

I was thinking how it compared to our worst seasons…frightening.
