The Relegation Thread

The saving grace in all of this is that the league is still so tight that the new manager bounce will move us a good few places up the table and give us something to build on.

I can’t deny that I’m worried right now though.

We have one away game in the next 4 fixtures...Chelsea (h), United (a), Arsenal (h), Burnley (h).

Those are winnable games at home IMO.

Get rid of Silva. Get Unsy in for the weekend. Get the crowd up. Get something from the game.

Bring in a new boss for United away and the League Cup

Agree re the home games. Absolutely critical. Our fans at Goodison have to do their part too. If our players can't be intimidating, we have to turn Goodison into the lion's den.

With Moyes back, another manager who has a relegation on his CV, we are in deep, deep trouble. People won’t panic till City leave us 5 points adrift in January.

I said in another thread that we are walking the line between being relegated and a decent(ish) League finish. We just need the right man to guide us to the latter.

Yep. I know its almost a cliche now but appointing the right man now is absolutely crucial to where this club is going.

Southampton

Aston Villa

Brighton

All these teams above are very poor but I think we will be fighting alongside them over the next 5 games. Think they will pick up more points than us.

Apart from relegation what's below Laughing Stock?
Basket Case?

 

[MACCA75]

The amount of our fans that don’t think we are in a genuine relegation battle is frightening.

Our defence is awful and threadbare. We have a dire strike force, and our midfield with the injuries is probably the weakest in the league.

It's only a matter of time before someone makes a website saying.... Have Everton been relegated yet?

Being a yo yo club is more entertaining that what we have bee subjected too for the last 10 years. If its relegation and a cup I would take that option.

Have you forgotten we drew the rs away?

I meant league cup.

Ah sorry in which case.... Have you forgotten we drew Leicester in the league cup

As above, I think we must get 6 points at least from next 5 games - Arsenal and Burnley Home (and maybe something at Newcastle).

We would then face into 2020 with 20 or 21 points, and 18 matches to get 20 points.

Exactly 9 away and 9 home - some chances of points at W ham, Watford, Norwich, Wolves and Sheffield Utd, but probably need to win at least 5 homes.

This is actually getting very worrying.

Come on Arsenal and Sheffield United
