Whiskey 1,192 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 That's absolutely massive, best case scenario was being in touching distance of 17th after Brighton and City as I thought we'd lose both, as it happens we've got an unexpected three points. Should still be in the mix with defeat to City, which will then set us up for Wolves and Bournemouth which when we're fighting for our lives should be winnable. Leeds & Forest back in it, think Leicester will have just enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael 1,117 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Everton, Leicester City and Leeds are all praying for a Southampton win against Notts Forest. A Saints win would certainly cap a great day for Everton in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,197 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I think Everton will have the momentum they need to get them through the relegation battle now. 5 goals against a good Brighton side is something that I think will give them belief needed to get those results needed to stay up. Leicester look hopeless at the moment. Forest are shit, but they're scrappy and I feel like they can get enough points to stay up. I think with Leeds, maybe if they'd brought Fat Sam in earlier they'd be able to save themselves... but something about the situation tells me it's too little too late for them.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,670 Posted May 8, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted May 8, 2023 Forest were always likely to win that although I'm still annoyed about it because they're shite and it sounded like they were on the back foot for much of the game. I know we've just gone and got a win like that but I swear every win they get is outrageously unlikely. Bad weekend for Leeds even though losing to City was pretty much already priced in. Disastrous one for Leicester though, absolutely disastrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil 1,179 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Relegation and top 4 battles are both mental. United in free fall, Newcastle stumbling. Brighton hopes gone. And the maddest relegation battle ever. Southampton gone but the rest are all still in it regardless of todsys results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't see how we win a game. Given Everton and Forest's wins, they've got a bit of momentum. Epic wins when you think about it. It seems like we'll probably lose the next two. I don't even think a win vs West Ham is enough now on the final day. If we even win that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted May 9, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted May 9, 2023 We're beyond analysis at this point. We're so bad it's barely believable that there are two teams that are below us. I certainly wonder if Southampton are just a bit unlucky, because on the eye test they don't look a poorer team than us to me. I give them a much greater chance of bouncing back up than I do us. Didn't carry much optimism into the game as this team has demonstrated time and time again that it's disgustingly overrated, but once again despite my low expectations we still manage to fall so far short. If you're 3-0 down to a Fulham side who have nothing to play for, who are missing key players at half time while you need a win, you are definitely going down. It's been a great ride, but what an absolutely pathetic and meek way to exit this league. I hope given how long the media and whatnot have spent pretending we'd get out of this that they give them the same panning that these standards should expect. I want them absolutely humiliated, made into joke figures for this. We have rapidly gone from the feel good story of football to a crisis club. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say we could go the way of Sunderland. People will baulk at that, but there was a time when people would've baulked at the idea that Sunderland could do a Wolves and go down two years running. What I have learned about this club at the minute is that whatever pessimism you could predict for us, we are truly capable of going far worse. We will get absolutely drilled by Liverpool and Newcastle in the next two games. Likely confirmed as relegated in the latter. Then the spineless shithouses will go and probably beat West Ham seeing as there's no pressure on it anymore. I'll go to that game and I'll boo every goal we score, if we manage any. Absolute scumbags. I hope this wrecks some of their careers. I hope it scars them for life. Absolute failures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,670 Posted May 9, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted May 9, 2023 It was partially down to our good performance but it amazed me last night how easy to beat Brighton's defence were. Dwight McNeil is no Usain Bolt. Iwobi, Doucoure and Calvert-Lewin are reasonably fast but there are much faster attackers in the league. Every time we went forward, our players just carried the ball past them as if they weren't there. None of their midfielders were capable of tracking Doucoure's runs on the break. I know they had an off-night, but it reminded me of us playing an idiotic high line with Michael Keane and Ashley Williams as our centre half pairing with Andre Gomes and Allan "shielding the defence". Mad how easy they were to score against given their league position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
