Unless smith can work out how to protect the defence more. Everton aren't getting 6 points. No way they beat Brighton or Man City. A now inform Bournemouth and Wolves away could bring maybe 2 points.

You also have to remember the state of the team Dean took over. He even admitted he cant fix the fitness at such short time, which is why we got players looking shot and lacking energy. Did he say we had an issue with fitness? I've always said that for a few seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine this team without Tielemans, Maddison and Cags. We are terrible with them, we are ****ed without them. Need a major, major rebuild top to bottom and unfortunately that won't be done anytime soon. I think we’d easily be mid table next season if we stay up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we failed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted 1 May 2023 Share Posted 1 May 2023 I think the double jeopardy of these 6 pointers does add an extra dimension. You can definitely become fearful of losing rather than going out to win it. In fairness I thought Everton did come to win today, albeit by being very direct, and so I'm just glad we didn't lose. I think we've got Fulham at a great time. No Mitrovic, picked up a couple of injuries at the weekend, and in poor form. I'm hoping it not being against a relegation rival frees us up a bit.

inckley fox Posted 1 May 2023 Share Posted 1 May 2023 It looks like we'll need 5-7 points from four to stay up. Looking at the fixtures, it's quite likely we'll go into the last game needing a win, and for results to go our way. If we get that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StonyFox Posted 1 May 2023 Share Posted 1 May 2023 Fulham being on the beach with no mitrovic, ream or Pereira is our only hope. We're getting nothing from Newcastle or Liverpool and west ham will be able to exploit our weaknesses too easily with the pressure we'll be under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 1 May 2023 Share Posted 1 May 2023 Not a loss, but a game we needed to be winning. We're out of the relegation zone, just, and 1 game closer to the end of the season (Hallelujah). Time will tell if it's an important point or not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 1 May 2023 Share Posted 1 May 2023 I don’t see any of the teams below us picking up form, so it’s a case of the three worst runs sends you down. Still think we will stay up, as will Everton, they’ve got enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancFox24 Posted 1 May 2023 Share Posted 1 May 2023 It's the performances that concern me more. We concede so many chances every game that we often rely on the keeper to have a great game just to stay in it. I can't see us surviving if we don't find a way of becoming more solid. For me, Soumare has to come out of the team and bring praet or kdh in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossiter Posted 1 May 2023 Share Posted 1 May 2023 This 'on the beach' stuff might be overplayed a bit. In the title year WBA drew with Spurs towards the end of the season in a hard fought game that helped us a lot. I might be wrong, but were WBA safe when they played Spurs? Sometimes a relaxed team can play good football and enjoy it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Ndidi who shouldn't be in the side on current form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted 1 May 2023 Share Posted 1 May 2023 So we stay up and start next season without Tielemans and Maddison and with Vardy another year older. I hope our recruitment team can perform miracles ! I don’t want us to go down but part of me thinks that to get back to where we were we need a root and branch rebuild across all aspects of the footballing side that we just can’t do in the PL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, I think people also forget that we manage to make teams look better than they really are and I wouldn't take today's game as Everton getting 6 points from their last 2 games. If that was the case we'll get 3 from on the beach Fulham who are safe, 3 from on the beach Liverpool settling for Europa league, 3 from on the beach Newcastle who'll have champions league and 3 from on the beach West ham who are safe just on the basis of us playing well today. I'm wandering but my point is I agree, just because a team can relax doesn't mean they're gonna come out and take it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The massive issue we had in midfield was a totally out of sorts Ndidi and to a lesser extent a slightly off the pace and average performance from Tielemans. Soumare was by far our best midfielder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickyblueeyes Posted 1 May 2023 Share Posted 1 May 2023 Some of you guys are really positive. I just can’t work out where we get 4/5 points from. We’ve played Leeds who are in absolute turmoil and talking about sacking their second manager. They had enough chances to put us to bed. We followed that up against Everton who could’ve had 5/6 against us at home. How do you take those same players, with their mentality. A guaranteed goal against us a game and face off against Liverpool and Newcastle. Fulham who are a class or two above us and West Ham who will probably be quite relaxed when they play us. We’ve had our run to try and get out of it and thrown it. We are reliant on the others to do our job now and hope, pray, beg for one freak result in our favour. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
