We’d need 3 if Burnley get a point and then beat Newcastle

I would like Richarlison and Pickford to stay, but yeah... also don't think we'd be particularly worse off if we sold them both and replaced them with the likes of Pope or Johnstone and some decent striker from the Championship.
I really hope we can have a decent transfer fund in the summer by selling DCL (30m) + Mina (10m) + a handful of misfits on the cheap (Gomes, Holgate, Keane, Gbamin, Gray, Rondon, Alli, Doucoure - any or all of them) + freeing up millions in wages (Tosun, Delph, Sigurdsson, Kenny) + a modest amount of money invested from Mr Moshiri (20m maybe - surely doable after spending 1.7m last summer).
Obviously we won't be able to sell all of the misfits, but even if we could just get rid of say 4 of them it'd free up massive amounts of wages and bring in 10/20m in fees. DCL, Mina, 4 misfits and 20m from Moshiri gives us a golden warchest of likely a minimum 80m. That must be put to good use.
The problem is going to be next season if, as I expect, Coleman is still trotting out every game, and we are playing at least one of Holgate/Keane. If that's the case then we can fully expect another relegation battle regardless of who else is in the team in front of them.

Bookies odds are not a measure of how likely something is to happen.
i’m not confident
if it’s that we’re done
Obviously I don't know what you've seen on twitter so i'm not disagreeing with you personally here. I have been quite annoyed though by how many people i've seen saying we bottled it last night and the players think they've done enough and even just that it was a game we definitely should have won. The table really doesn't lie at this stage, we're 16th because we're absolutely rubbish, and every single game we play is very difficult for us. The amount of people who seemed to think we were just going to rock up at Watford and batter them was staggering. We've ground out some results playing a certain way and, if we're honest, by having a bit of luck. The idea that just playing 433 and being more attacking would definitely have led to a win is bizarre. When we lost at Burnley everyone said we were naive to be so open, a couple of weeks later everyone's claiming we should have played like that. There's genuinely no pleasing some people.

I 100% believe Palace are going to do us at Goodison because all you need is energy to beat Everton, and they have it in bundles. We'll probably chase the game and end up losing it.
Probably end up needing to, at a minimum, grab a point v Arsenal. We need to hope they can beat Spurs tonight, or at least avoid defeat and then beat Newcastle at the weekend and then they've got 4th guaranteed before the final day.
Obviously dodgy refereeing could cost us too. Allan missed 3 crucial games for no reason at all, and you can bet Mike Dean was desperate for Holgate to put in another challenge last night so that he could be sent off - not that'd be a big miss in the game(s) he'd miss, but us down to 10 men against anybody would cost us big.
