Those are the remaining fixtures, top 6 in bold, bottom 12 in italics. I'm going to predict the bottom 3 as:
18th will be a battle between West Ham / Bournemouth / Leicester / Palace / Everton. I'm going say Bournemouth. 
19th Leeds
20th Southampton
It's a really tight one this season. This time last year, there was only 5 teams battling it out. This year it's more like 9!

Casemeiro missing the United game against us due to suspension…. That’helps. 

Chelsea(a), spurs(h) and United(a) next. We needed those three today.

Get into the var assistant. Scandalous 

I hope Dyche goes to town on the VAR for that decision.

Honestly managers get fined for talking against these ridiculous decisions by the referees. When are the referees going to be held accountable for the inconsistencies week in week out? We've seen instances this season where vars have 'forgotten' to draw lines on a fucking offside image. Decisions like this can be absolutely catastrophic for teams in our position.
Is it a hand ball? I don't know - nobody knows apart from Gray. That's not the point. The VAR has GUESSED that it's handball. If you're reduced to guessing it means that the referee hasn't made a clear and obvious mistake, that's the rule isn't it? It has to be clear and obvious? 
How long have we been doing this dance? And still fuck all has been done about it. It's absolutely ruining the game.

Game has gone. Not a handball at all - expecting another apology. “Clear and obvious “. 

💯% agree
fuck VAR 
absolute disgrace 
 

The fuckers! If they're looking at the same replays as us, you can't fuckin tell! So not 'clear & obvious'.
 
 
 

Clear and fucking obvious my fucking arse fuck off. Scrap it, ruining the fucking game week in week out. A big 6 get that decision the game is fucking gone.

Back on topic, it has been a promising first 20 minutes in the Southampton v Leicester game, they both look as shite as us 

Most important is to avoid defeat. Would love to grab a win, but avoiding defeat in six pointers is paramount.

The kind of game we'll be seeing a lot of next season in the Championship. Agree on Garner and Patterson. Simms is Chamionship level so I'd play him (DCL will be unfit). If Maupay starts, I'll cry. Hoping for a 1-0 win but expecting nothing. 

Back home. Another unforgettable visit to Goodison and my last. Will be back in Fall 2024 for the new stadium. Reading through this thread and unsurprisingly everyone's opinions are spot on with mine. The ref certainly didn't cost us the game but he was abysmal. Absolutely abysmal. He didn't even see the foul on Onana, I promise you and 38,000 other people can verify that as well. He booked him based on the player's reaction and was incredibly late in doing so. That really fucked us as Onana had to be careful for 80 minutes. We were by far the better side box to box but we will be relegated if DCL doesn't get fit soon. Points are earned inside the 18yrd boxes and we haven't got the goods in either at the moment. The balls into the box were plenty good enough and there were quite a few of them but Maupay was never going to win one. He is the most useless player I've seen in a long time. Anyways despite the result still had an amazing visit and like everyone here I will really miss the Old Lady. One of the last true proper football venues.

Villa are better than us they have players who are capable of scoring we don’t and for this reason I expect us to go down it’s a case of us or Leeds. 
I just hope Leeds are worse than us for the rest of the season. 

That game should have been dead and buried at half time. We dominated the first half and apart from one chance (I think) Villa didn't have a sniff.
We were superb in that half. Pressing well, winning the ball back in dangerous areas, using the ball well, getting the ball into the box and creating openings/chances. We just didn't/couldn't put the ball in the back of the net and that really is the most important thing and it's cost us big time today. That three points should be ours but instead we're coming away with nothing.
Second half we weren't quite as good but even then just before they got the penalty we had one cleared off the line. Once they scored though we were done, you could see our heads had dropped. We were still trying but the same intensity just wasn't there.
The performance was encouraging, we seem to be creating chances now whereas that is something we were hugely struggling with, but the result was a suckerpunch. We have to find a way to score goals.

This result has nothing to do with the ref whatsoever he was shit but we created better chances and our finishing was horrific. Can’t win without finishing.

If we had a proper goal scoring striker we’re winning this game right now 

They're passes that happen when someone is leading the line to run on to. Does require someone fast and can finish though, so I understand why you've forgotten. Last player we had who could do that was Lukaku. 

Third voyage to Goodison for this one. I was sweating on Onana's fitness all week. Over the moon to get to see him in person. COYB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m hoping Patterson and Garner are able to be in the squad. It will be a shot in the arm. Surely Dom has had his mattress, car seat, sexual positions and wisdom teeth looked at by now?
