Gemmill 42030 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Well I'm fucking WELL UP for Everton potentially going down here. I was gonna go multiscreen on the IPTV and sit about like Jeff Stelling but I think I'll just stick us on the telly and Everton on the tablet and hope for the best. If Everton look like going down with 15 to go, that takes pride of place on the telly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. The price of sending a happy smiley family club to do a man's job. Even Spurs would have beat Everton today, that's how bad Bournemouth were.

It would’ve but that would’ve been 20/20 hindsight (which I suppose this is too ). There’s a middle ground where you stay in the game then go for it earlier. They’d have been incredibly lucky if the gameplay had worked with them scoring at the death with their sole attempt on goal I think it was. Especially in a game where we’d missed loads of chances and hit the woodwork on numerous occasions. They were in a position where it was very difficult for them to stay up but I think you’ve got to try and make things happen in that situation. I.e. not just relying on Everton dropping points at home against a Bournemouth side with no skin in the game. As others have said though it’s all very well replacing and blaming Rogers but it’s fucking pointless if you’re replacing him with Dean Smith. A little bit like Leeds. By all means change the manager but don’t do it that late and don’t bring in a fucking dinosaur / fraud like Allardyce Edited May 29, 2023 by Alex 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10335 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I don't think trying not to lose away at a CL chasing team was the reason they've gone down. Gifting 4pts to each of the other two teams legitimately in the Relegation fight could be one reason, letting Southampton do the double over you is another. Maddison missing a penalty against Everton at 2-1 going into the half time break, was worse than only getting a point away to Newcastle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I’ve seen it from a few pundits now as well as the YouTube crew about how leicester should have given it a go against us but if they did we’d have fucking smacked them as you say. Our attackers work well when there is space, they struggle when the pitch is condensed and teams sit back, so if Leicester tried to come at us we’d have had a ton of space. I think the pundits are also forgetting that Leicester are shite and we dominated the ball - if that was Liverpool rather than us they’d not have been saying this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the second half, when they introduced Maddison and their other more talented attacking players, we had more dangerous phases of play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10335 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 To be honest, it was Everton's 5-1 demolition of Brighton that kept them up. So, really, Brighton should be docked points for being enemies of football. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 42030 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I did not know that Smalling played for Roma. It's a depressing feature of today's game that you can no longer believe the frantic arm wave when a player goes down. That used to be a cast iron guarantee of a really bad injury, now it's usually just some cunt wanting a lie down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
