Leicesterpool Posted 1 May 2022 Share Posted 1 May 2022 If we finished 14th but won the Europa conference league... would that be considered a disappointing season... surely not. Let's not forget we did win the community shield in August. So two cups in one season for Rodgers would far from be a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget we did win the community shield in August. So two cups in one season for Rodgers would far from be a failure. It's a trophy and its silverware. The more often we can continue to challenge for any competitive trophy (and for us the CS counts) the better we will be in terms of status and stature of the club. In no way saying I'm happy with what has happened in the league as its been underwhelming*, but if we finish the season with another trophy I won't be turning my nose up at all, I'd be delighted! *must be said we've had to manage our fair share of injuries for the past 2 seasons which shouldn't ever be discounted or ignored in any debate.

Wymsey Posted 1 May 2022 Share Posted 1 May 2022 Ideally, for football's sake, Everton need to go down. Literally spent hundreds of millions down the drain, largely on players that have disappointed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjcW Posted 1 May 2022 Share Posted 1 May 2022 Not something I’ve seen discussed much in the press but Chelsea have gone a bit shit haven’t they? They’re an FA Cup final defeat away from a nothing season and limping towards a top four finish… even that is under threat. Wonder if a new owner might make a managerial change? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Roman was still in charge I reckon Tuchel would have been sacked after the champions league loss, judging by his players reaction in the last few games something doesn't look right. A lot of their players are losing their cool very quickly, getting involved with scraps with players and very quick to snap out officalls and even their own supporters. Saying all this though to be still in the top four, in a Fa Cup final and be Fifa world club winners can't really say it's been that bad of a season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s very rigid as a manager. I think most would have found a way to build rom into the team, but even after good performances he found his time limited. They’ve been playing for nothing recently and he still hasn’t had a crack. barmy really Edited 2 May 2022 by Lambert09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 2 May 2022 Share Posted 2 May 2022 23 hours ago, Aus Fox said: Controversial opinion, but the Arsenal invincibles team is one of the most over rated teams in the history of English football. It was a decent team no question, but they didn’t win anything else that season and were crap in Europe - not sure they even got passed the first knockout stage. In the league they were deserving champions but drew somewhere between 10-15 games, can’t remember exactly, including at the KP against a crap Leicester side, we were also ahead in the away game at half time, Van Nistlerooy missed a penalty in the last minute or they would have lost to Man Utd and had a couple of other late equalisers. A good team yes, deserved champions that season, yes, one of the best team the PL has seen - no not even close. Completely agree and think Man City under Guardiola and Liverpool under Klopp are both substantially better - albeit they're in a different era now, but I think even relative to the time these two are better. --- Anyhow - **** Chelsea. I hope they finish 5th for that disgusting result earlier. Absolute toss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 2 May 2022 Share Posted 2 May 2022 We won't finish 14th. I've got a decent sized bet on us finishing bottom half but think it'll probably lose actually because of the fact we play two sides who'll already be down. We've got the nicest run in in the league. Even so it's been piss poor. I can't believe there are people who think it hasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsr-burnley Posted 2 May 2022 Share Posted 2 May 2022 (edited) 17 hours ago, BirminghamFox said: Looking forward to Richarlison rolling around the floor most of the game next Sunday like he’s been shot along with Pickford diving on the ball for a minimum of 30 seconds If the FA is fair, consistent, and has any moral courage, Richarlison will get a ban for throwing a lighted flare into the crowd. So I think you can expect to see him on Sunday. And if the FA had any interest at all in stopping Everton's time wasting and improving the game in general, they would send a note to the ref reminding him of the six-second rule for goalkeepers and how they ought to give an indirect free kick. So expect Pickford to beat Saturday's record of 27 seconds from picking up the ball (not under pressure) to releasing it. (He was probably going to beat that record at the end of the match, but he had reached 19 seconds when the ref blew for full time. If the ref is going to give him unlimited time, you wonder why he doesn't catch it at 85 miutes or so and just keep hold. Nothing to stop him.)

fox_up_north Posted 2 May 2022 Share Posted 2 May 2022 I can see Chelsea dropping out of top 4. They just look like a bunch of mercenaries who are only in it for the money, except they now don't know where the money is coming from. The FA and Sky want Everton to stay up. It's only fans of other clubs (aka - normal people) who want them to go down and we don't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea have represented the pits of football for the last 19 years or so. Would love to see a huge fall from grace. All this talk of them signing Forfana makes me sick.

Never like going away to Chelsea even if we have picked up a point or 3 there in recent seasons. I know they're in a bit of rough form at the moment but we're the kind of team others see as a chance to get back on track. We should be winning the others. Although if we do get to the ECL Final, I won't begrudge Rodgers playing a weakened side against Southampton on final day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
