They're a little bit like us in the sense that they have some outstanding players, but lack the squad depth to really keep up momentum when a few of those outstanding players are removed. West Ham are hanging in there, but I expect them to drop off once this purple patch clears. They're punching way above their weight IMO. Spurs also just a point behind us now. I fancy our chances to finish top 6, but could just as easily see us finish 8th or 9th. It's a much more wide open top half than there's ever been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Think we want United to beat Chelsea right? Draw would do as well but just not a Chelsea win. Romey 1878, markjazzbassist and Zoo 2.0 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if that's the case, they're 4 points behind us. Point I was making is, Spurs are very much in the race for the top 6, as are West Ham, Villa and I would even put Arsenal in the conversation.

I'm saying they're in the mix and that's the point I'm trying to make. There's 11 points separating 9 teams right now, from West Ham in 4th to Wolves in 12th. And there's still 12-14 games left this season. And if there's one thing we've learned from this season, it's that you can't predict anything. Wolves could get Jimenez back and go on a run. Moyes could pull a rabbit out a hat and get West Ham to a top-6 finish. Leicester could implode like the end of last season. Anyways, Jags looks hell bent on getting one over on the shite today. Ramsdale has been big for Sheffield, but that Liverpool backline looks creaky. Fingers crossed we see some more dropped points MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Referee had a great chance to teach Mane a lesson for diving. Should have gave a freekick and chalked off that second goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thought does trouble me a bit, and I’m half-serious. For, if Villa aren’t much of a threat to get into top 6, yet might threaten Everton, that seems to mean they could seriously damage our hopes for top 6 (or higher). Yes?

Of course, we're perfectly capable of shooting ourselves in the foot given the opportunity, we're Everton after all. I just think that if we finish behind Villa now we'll likely be 8th/9th, because I can't see them top six without Grealish....if ever there was a one man team....

Palfy Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 With the exception of City and Utd we are more than capable of finishing above everyone else, I can see us going on a run of 4-5 wins in a row, and others around us dropping points.

The game has been dull as dishwater too, I'd rather shit in my hands and clap than watch any of this back. United will be torn apart next week against City, could be another 1-6. Palace are dreadful too mind, it's got 0-0 written all over this unless someone falls asleep at the back and gives away a penalty, both sides should be relegated on the spot for serving up such drab shite. Whiskey has got me through tonight. Edit: Finishes 0-0, win our games in hand and we can theoretically be two points from 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
