The NSNO Everton Forums

We will be in trouble if any of Forest / Luton even the Bottom 2 win back to back games which seems to happen , someone goes against the norm at this stage of the season. It's in our hands, fail against them teams regardless of a points deduction and it's been said before we deserve to go.

The leagues so poor this season that a winless streak like ours hasn't put us in the bottom 3 .

Can we win back to back games?

I am worried simply because we feel like we've fell apart a bit. We've had periods of good performances bad results, we've had good performances good results, we've now got bad performances bad results and I'm not convinced of this squad or the manager, quality wise we should be close to relegation.

It has been in our hands for a long long time and we've repeatedly shit the bed.

Still huge faves to stay up, but my goodness even if Burnley pull out 2 wins they're in with a shot. If you're below Everton right now, with probably 1-3 points coming off then soon, you'd be saying fucking hell we'll catch these you know.

I think we'll see a couple of things as a result of the break.

1) Injured players being fit again.
2) Exhausted players having new life breathed in to their energy levels.

These things will help us immensely, as we've seen that at full strength and with everyone fit we're horrible to play against and pick up a decent number of points as a result of the high press, great energy levels and a solid defence.

However I think given we started shipping goals for fun before this break Dyche will be working on shape and solidity above anything else at this training camp. So whilst I expect us to be far better once fixtures start up again we'll be a version of better that might not appeal to many... We just have to hope it picks up enough points to keep everyone relatively happy.

Don’t care how we stay up, just as long as we do

Likely to need some clever loans, frees (like Brownhil from Burnley etc) and targets identified quickly to spend the likely 80m from branthwaite

Happy for Onana to go as well, north of 50m, and again with a suitable target preloaded

Sell our only two footballers, sign some more ex-Burnley dross, and imagine that we’ll be fine next season?

Reckon we get Cedric when he leaves arsenal

I'm not sure we'll have a choice, offers will come in for those two that will be too big for us to say no to.

I don't think he was saying we should just sign brownhill and pray, I'd imagine that was just an example of the type of loan deal that might help.

Ffs sell our best players and buy more Burnley shite how is that a plan to get better

There's no way it'll be allowed to stand that we've had two occasions of penalties, points being deducted, for two separate periods of financial assessments, applied in one single season and it relegates us. I'll get naked in the Lower Gwladys if that happens.

It's not about getting better. It's about what we can afford.

There are more players out there than ex Burnley ones

Any more of Dyche's ex-teammates to keep Young company?

Home: Burnley; Sheff Utd; Nottm For; Brentford (+Liverpool)

Away: Luton (+ Bournemouth; Newcastle; Chelsea; Arsenal)

10 points, surely...?

At least one home game where the crowd won't be exuding nervous tension, then. Too late to stage them as behind closed doors lockouts in protest, or something?
