Everton Thread - 2021/22

[FightLikeAGirl]

SuperFrank has had to sort out the shite left by Agent Rafa. I feel sorry for Frank. He had a bag of horse shit from day one! But the damage was done earlier in the season when they were losing to teams, at home, they should have beaten comfortably.

It's too little, too late.

Lampard was a bad appointment.

 

[K-Bo]

Yeah they probably should have hired allardyce again lol, and then made a proper appointment in the summer. Hard fixtures to come and basically no room for error with their easier fixtures now. They've probably got to get 9 from Brentford, watford and palace and if they don't they're gonna have to beat a top 6 team to survive. Bleak for them.

And the understatement of the year award for 2022 goes to ..

 

[paulchapo]

I think they're fucked as they're struggling to score goals and concede soft ones. Pickford should have saved the first. Liverpool were a bit lucky and as usual the big decisions went their way but you always knew it was only a matter of time.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Lampard was a bad appointment.

Agree.

No experience of a relegation battle before, shaky tactics that got him sacked by Chelskiy.

Should stick with him if they do go down though, he impresed with Derby and brought through lots of talented players he had on loan from Chelsea.

Everton can either use the championship to blood their own youngsters or pick up loanees from the PL.

Think they could emulate Newcastle's recent periods in the championship and come straight back up with a bang.

Pickford is a very theatrical keeper isn’t he. Throwing himself around like a loon!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

It's too little, too late.

Yeah, and the one player I would have taken, left back Digne, Raga made sure he shipped him out before the nitty-gritty end of the season came.

 

[hammocity]

Is it true Calvert-Lewin wants out?

Ha ha, very good, wouldn’t be much of a surprise.

 

[FightLikeAGirl]

Lampard was a bad appointment.

Yep. Underachieved at Chelsea. What the management were thinking appointing him and Benitez I don’t know, they would have been better off giving Ferguson the job of caretaker while shopping around.

 

[ancoats]

Aston Villa know full well what bullshit that is.

As for Everton coming up, it's harder to go up than it is to go down, unless you're Norwich. Look at Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday.

Everton would face a battle every week if they went down ?
City did, and it's a different game altogether when so-called smaller clubs want your scalp.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

The skeleton in the closet

He'd never leave the Swamp, unless in a box.

Oh, you mean Duncan?

;-)

 

[ancoats]

But a fucker to get out of!

In a way, going down can bring the fans back together and the away days are special.
You need to have thick skin and desire. You also see the proper fans that stick together through the good and bad times.

 

[Semper aggressus]

I still don’t think they’ll go down. It’ll be another flukey escape and Burnley will go by one point or goal difference.

Or pickled in a vat of whisky

 

[Daz-Simp]

They have been an absolute shambles in recent years from top to bottom, and it should be a wake up call to football governance if they and Derby both go down in the same season.

That said, I think Burnley's defeat at Norwich, along with Cornet's missed pen at West Ham, will scupper them at season's end. An extra 5 points that they should have won I think will make the difference.

 

[crazyg]

Or pickled in a vat of whisky

That's already happened.

 

[Bantamgaz]

They would be straight back up. Might be good for the fans for one season. New grounds, lots of wins, feel good factor comes back. My mate is a Fulham fan and he has has a great season despite their relegation last season. I know they aren’t used to it but it’s a good laugh in lower divisions. Some of my best days out supporting us were In the lower divisions.

It’s never that easy as you lot found out :( they in all honesty will become everyone’s cup final and if them players ain’t up to it then expect a few years down there ......... crowds don’t mean a thing at the lower reaches because if they did the likes of us , Wednesday and Sunderland and a fair few others wouldn’t be messing around at the levels there at :( .......,, saying that if Everton could muster a win against Chelsea and Burnley the same then it puts Leeds in huge bother ........Leeds next four games are really tough just got a feeling that this will change dramatically over the next few games .......... if Burnley carry on the way they are and Everton do pick up then Leeds are in real danger

Maybe. We found it relatively ok to be honest. Don’t think we were ever out of the Prem for more than 3 seasons and that was when we went Prem/div1/2/1/Prem. Obviously the likes of Leeds, Forest and Sunderland have though.
