Today’s Football 2022/23 Season

[Martin Alvito]

I don't understand why anyone's worried. I'm looking up the table, not down.

The margin between being comfortably midtable and being down in the mire defending the way we are is likely to be a half-dozen goals or so.

It's why people are edgy. We should be more than fine, but if we start really laboring in front of goal it will affect us greatly.

 

[Martin Alvito]

Absolutely dirty pass and header, that.

 

[catcherintherye]

I think ultimately they have too much quality going forward, their defence though is absolutely one of the worst in the league.

I agree, but remember thinking we would have enough. But if you keep getting hammered, you're not that good. I think your spot on with that defence too, they are far too easy to play against.

 

[RomanReigns]

Son to Kane again

 

[longers]

He’s the type of snake that will resign first.

surely that would make him less of a snake as the club wouldn’t have to pay him any money ?

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

If he resigns, he's a snake who didn't have the stomach to see the job through.

If he gets fired, he's a snake who held on for the payoff when he should have walked.

 

[Walken]

Aren't we above feuding with Leicester?

I don't like them much either like (although I probably dislike Southampton more)

The sun banners they got out puts them as enemy number one for me, I want their very existence to be under threat. Let's hear the tory rats sing feed the scousers from the championship

 

[Walken]

They came to Goodison and sang Tory songs when the City Region was at its lowest.

I will never be over feuding with Leicester.

Hates as good a thing to keep a man going as anything, I'm all aboard this train

 

[Martin Alvito]

Love Brighton's passing, loathe their work in the final third.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Fulham, Leeds, Forest, Leicester, Wolves, Southampton, Villa, Bournemouth, Palace are all worse than us lads

You could be right. But I think its too early to really know. We will know a lot more in a month come the break. Will be 15 games in by then.

The table won't take shape for a while yet. I prefer to just worry about ourselves one week at a time. Pick up points more regularly than last year and we'll be fine.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Anyone other than the big 6 and Newcastle and Brighton could end up in a relegation battle this year. I dont see any Norwich or Watfords this year, who are absolutely certs to go down.

Maybe Forest but I think Cooper is a good coach who will find some improvements. Leicester will score enough to stay up too but wouldn't surprise me they have a similar season to us last year and come 15th or 16th. Bournemouth could go on a very poor run but they've surprised me so far and have points on the board. Wolves are a team I genuinely think could go down due to how toothless they are, but they arent a terrible side by any means.

We shouldn't be complacent at all. Its a long season and we need to respond well every time we lose a game. We cant afford a long run of losses like last winter.

 

[the golden visionary]

Watching challenges on spurs players from Brighton being let go that we all know will result in soft free kicks this time next week

 

[ChesterBlue]

Two of the best run clubs outside the top 6 a few seasons ago. Just shows that even if you’re finishing in the top 7 you’re probably more likely to go down in the short term than crack the top 4.

Leicester’s recruitment has nosedived to be fair - I don’t know if they’ve changed their personnel, or just failed to adequately replace key players, but other than Maddison they are an absolute mess this season

 

[JohnRoss23]

Why should you get critisised for having an opinion on another teams player mate? Havnt seen him, but by all accounts he is playing well.

A lot of people were very opinionated when we were linked to him in the transfer window if I remember correctly. And not in a positive way!

They couldn't afford to bring anyone in without selling additional players, and Schmeichel leaving without adequate replacement is  killing them.
