When Gary Neville says "it's the greatest Premier League ever" for marketing hype he's not referring to games like these. Anyone would think that the powers that be would rather Frank Lampards Everton didn't get relegated... Shame Burnley didn't get the memo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t see it, it’s too late. Frank needs to fight and scrap to stay up because if they go down he won’t get a premier league job for years and years, maybe not ever again. His managerial career depends on staying up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would've been a better position I'f they'd have given it to Duncan Ferguson til the end of the season. There January transfer business of El Ghazi, Van Den Beek & Alli has worked out well with their grand total of zero goals and assists between them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulfotto 632 Posted April 7, 2022 Everton are a total shambles if they don’t manage to get relegated this year then everyone associated with the club can say with confidence they will never be relegated. People think Norwich make bad decisions. Appointing Beneitiz was never going to work then sacking him when he would obviously be able to guide them to a safety. Then to appoint Lampard someone who hasn’t a clue how to deal with a relegation dog fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,234 Posted April 7, 2022 Newcastle have bought themselves safety, so it does work. Still a way to go and if we beat Burnley on Sunday it does Everton a massive favour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_ncfc 662 Posted April 7, 2022 It's hilarious that Lampard turned down Palace (and us possibly) because he thought himself above them and a relegation scrap. The guy is an absolute fraud of a manager, seems to think because he had the Chelsea job he should just be able to walk in to another big club because of his name but he's useless.

Those are the games in hand Coventry had after the end of the 85 season when we got relegated, they had to win all three to stay up and relegate us, needless to say their opponents were definitely on the beach! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All need another win at least to breathe easy and if that doesn’t come in the next couple of games could start to sweat. The PL below 8th seems to be very streaky so I wouldn’t completely discount late win streaks (even for Norwich!) or losing streaks coming at precisely the wrong moment.

aBee 151 Posted April 7, 2022 1 minute ago, hogesar said: Clearly not seen us play enough! Live, just the two games against the Bees and against Liverpool on the telly. It’s a tall ask but perhaps Smith can reproduce what he did with Villa after the resumption in 19-20 after they looked pretty dead. It’d not be pretty but take a leaf from Burnley’s book and ask whether you’d mind their resolve to win against Everton. The bottom five are all quite fragile and lacking in quality so the ones who find toughness and organisation in the run in will have the best chance. The belief of the home crowd will help (and make it more fun!). You’ve got four winnable games coming up, two at home. Burnley you need to just keep going against. Man U are flaky as in leadership doldrums. Newcastle are not that different to how they were earlier in the season just more positive and organised. Villa are flaky.
